Suggestion for accomplishing it:
Make a planner application for doing things that matters, just inspiration:
*Values (a direction like ex "Be a honest and fast employee" or "Be a loving husband", can not be accomplished, but can be lived, things one want ones life to stand for)
*Goals (you know, things that can be reached by a number of tasks. Ex "My love shows happiness for something i gave her". The important is not reaching the goal, the important is the direction/value it sets on life)
*Tasks (to reach goals, to live values, in other words the tasks are focused on the present moment, and not like other planning software, to reach a goal and then by unsatisfied)
Different views of:
Value
---Goal
---------Task, task, task
Measuring:
*How good one is living the values (ex 0-100%)
*How satisfied one is with the current living of a value
*How far one is from reaching a goal (ex, count number of tasks, one done=nr% completed)
Easy collectionbox
*Fast input of idea by keys, writing, or audiorecording
*ability to later mark and connect things up (is it value, goal, task, trash, etc.)
etc..

Hi all,
We are developing free application for Android 2.1 (or more) named Progress Succes.
Short description:
This application can help you be successful! Add task and every day mark it as done or not. And a few days you can see the results! Simple and easy motivation tool for Time Management which can help to you achieve your goals.
For those who do not know about motivation tool in Time Management.
Consider you have a goal - learn Spanish. So you choose reading a book in Spanish as a method of learning, but you don't do it every day. Once you haven't enough time, once you lack enery after a long day. So you need something that stimulates you to archive your goal. You need something to visualize your process.
The simpliest resolution is a table which has tasks in its first column and dates in its first line. In a particular cell you put a mark showing did you execute your task or not. So you can track your progress.
How does it work?
You create an activity named "To read 3 pages" in the application. Every day you put a mark about executing this activity. You can put nothing if nothing should be done for the activity. So you report yourself about the work done. In statistic you see how your progress goes.
Current features are:
Add/Edit/Remove/Suspend task;
Change marker state on each day for each task. Three State are available (Done, Fail, Non);
Statistic is available for selected tasks;
Support multilanguage interface;
Help is available;
Nearest future plans:
Notification for some seelcted tasks.
For each task you can choose priority
Select a period for statistic.

Thanks, I've been looking for something like this for a while.
Currently I don't have an Android device so I cannot test this - sorry. Looking at the screenshots and features, it's pretty basic. As someone who has used this method for achieving goals, you need different types of tasks other than "done/not done". For example:
- How many pushups did I do today? (every day you put the number, and potentially define a set goal for each day. For example you set 50 as the goal and if you get to 50 the number is in green, if you did any pushups it's in black and if you did none you get an X)
- Did I floss both in the morning and before bed? (same task but two places to tick in the same day. Or n number of places to tick)
- I don't want to spend too much money on cigarettes/don't want to spend more than 2 hours on the computer (and you input the number of hours/money spent. For example, set 2 hours as the max amount of hours and if you put a higher number, you get a negative result for that day. Otherwise you get a positive)
None of these tasks are, of course, related to my real life )
There are probably more unique use cases I've found, I have to think about it.
Also the UI itself could be prettier IMO.
Good luck.
Neat! I'll try this one out immediately

Thanks for your recommendation! It's really important for us.
About more state of marks: The main idea of application - don't spend a lot of time for using it on day. Only one minute per day! If you done 49 pushups instead of 50 then - FAILE. You goal is not achieved
But if you really want to be able to do push-ups 50 times then create task - 20 push-ups. When the result is successful, then create new (or change the previous) task 30 push-ups etc... )) Divide your task

What a great app! its wonderful to see all the development using the digitizer cant wait for more!
While I applaud the create of a pen-centric planner app, and I think that there is a lot of potential behind this idea, I feel that there is still some room to grow before this weekly planner is mature to the point that I would adopt it for regular use.
Some of the features that make a paper planner book most useful as an organizational tool are the sense of perspective it gives about the upcoming days and weeks, and the ability to add future events quickly and easily so that they are not forgotten. The inclusion of a monthly calendar as a reference is another nice feature common to daily planners.
What I would like to see from Sunny WP is a more natural method of navigation between weeks and months. Rather than Next Week, Previous Week, and Go To Date, I think that an "outer" or "higher" visualization of a calendar would go along way to making this feel more like a planner and less like a portable whiteboard with lines on it. Flipping through actual paper pages is still the method to beat when it comes to any kind of book navigation, so an easy way to visualize all my past and future weekly plans is critical. A bonus feature would be integration with Google Calendar, displaying events on the side of each day, but that is more of a personal preference.
I won't go into depth about the monetization mechanism, except to say that restricting use of the prominently displayed undo button to the (non-existent?) deluxe version feels like the developer is trying to annoy me into upgrading rather than promising me a richer experience when I buy the app.
One technical/user experience issue I have is that the eraser has a much bigger brush than I expected, and that makes it hard to erase small mistakes within a tightly packed block of writing, without wiping out everything around it (and there is no undo feature to recover the lost notes...).

NominalValue - Thank you for the insight. I hear ya.
- "outer" or "higher" visualization of a calendar: That's something I think I would warrant as a 2.0. I do agree technology like this should reduce the friction for frequent actions like adding new events. It's interesting you mention this because the general feedback has been that a daily planner is more useful than a weekly one. After the daily planner, I was looking to do a monthly one. Think of a giant monthly calendar that you could pinch/zoom out to achieve this reduction of friction. Do you think that would work?
- integration with Google Calendar, displaying events on the side of each day: I would like to introduce Google Calendar but after some discussion, people like to default to one source of information instead of a hybrid cause of sync issues. As an alternative to Google Calendar, I was thinking more along the lines of telling you the weather for the week you are viewing. High/low temperature. Who knows, I need to do more research how I could bring in outside content. Perhaps empower users what they would want to see.
- Monetization: If you are annoyed, that's the goal. Rather than deliver enhanced user experience, the goal for the deluxe version is that provides 'relief' from obstacles in place. But there are other features bundled in there that other users may value like different colors or be able to blast their list via email or facebook.
- Page flipping is coming soon, it'll likely be the odd 3-finger swipe cause it's hard to figure out the difference between a 1 finger swipe and 1 finger panning the page.
- Giant Monthly Calendar: I could see that being useful, along the lines of what I do with my little desk calendar. One suggestion I have for this would be to implement a double-tap-to-zoom that auto-aligned to the day you tap on, rather than only having a free-form pinch/zoom/pan navigation method.
- Outside Content: I really like the idea of daily weather info with high/low temperature numbers, and a basic sunny/cloudy/rainy/snowy icon would be nice, too.
- Monetization: I get that you want and deserve to make money from your app, and however you choose to do that is your decision alone. But if I may give my admittedly novice advice, I think that different wording for your version names could go a long way in shaping customer reactions to feature limitations. Calling one version Basic and the other Deluxe brings with it expectations that the one is suited for everyday common use and the other is for the true planning enthusiast. That doesn't, at least for me, seem to fit with the particular feature sets you have chosen for the two apps. From my time with the app, I would describe the Basic version more as a demo, in the way that the app "LectureNotes," for example, has a feature-limited demo. That way, I know to expect limitations and my mindset is that I am evaluating the app with the end goal of buying the full version in the back of my mind. That's just my two cents in the topic.
By the way, I couldn't find the Deluxe version in the app store. Is it not released yet?
I like it, but would like the following in a future update.
1-When zooming on a page and you start to type, the resulting writing is not as fine.
2-I can't seem to keep the page from moving when resting my palm on it even using the lock feature.
3-pen/stroke size options needed.

Reminder App for Daily Work : Prompt
This app helps you create a reminder and alarm for any of your daily tasks with the option to periodically repeat them. There are a number of alarm and reminder apps used for daily tasks on play store but Prompt stands out. The beautiful Material UI of the app makes it the best available alternative among all other daily task reminder and alarm apps. We tend to forget a lot of things due to our busy lives, reminder helps us to complete all our tasks without fail. We need to wake up on time and alarm helps us do that.
In today's era, punctuality is the most important characteristic of all successful people. A punctual person is able to complete all his task on time. Students, Teachers, Politicians, Officials, Traders and the Farmers all have used prompt in order to win glory and success in life. Prompt helps you stay punctual and always on time by reminding you about what to do, when.
Punctuality brings in its trail efficiency. A punctual person commands the confidence and respect of others. If we look at the lives of all great men, we would realize that they had got a time schedule for every day. The Alarm feature of prompt will help you rise early in the morning and kick-start your day!
Those who have problems in waking up early, Prompt is the ultimate solution for you. You will never fail to wake up, ever.
Everyday routine provides a sense of structure and familiarity. Structure is a way of organizing your life so that it makes sense to you. You wake up with a sense of ownership, order, and organization of your life.
One of the more convenient reasons why prompt is important is because it negates the need to regularly remind yourself about what to do. You already know what you have to do each and every day. Once you are finished with a task, you already know what is next on your schedule. This structure provides direction in your life, enabling you to act instead of standing still because of a lack of direction or decision paralysis.
Another major reason for using this app for daily work is that it creates a routine. A routine is something that you do over and over again, eventually making it a habit. Once it is a habit, you do not need to think about it to act. The act of automation increases efficiency in your life, by enabling you to do things without consciously thinking about it. You will automatically get things done, without having to remind yourself to get things done. In this manner, you do not let anything slip and you save time by not having to decide what to do with your day.
Use Prompt daily to never miss out on any task!

How hard would an android app be that:
Stored a goal intake value entered by the users based on what the doctor says
Keep a daily log of fluid intake
Keep a daily log of inputted weights
Keep a log of ammount of flud removed and time on dialysis
Display the logs in a easy to read format
Extra feature that would just make it completely awesome, a graph that showed the trends for the last week, month and 3 months
I'd think the app would be pretty easy but I might be very wrong and I'm not sure how big of audience besides me it would have, I'd think people on dialysis that heard about it might give it a shot because currently the best suggestion the clinic has for fluid tracking is a piece of paper with cups on it, which isn't very effective. There are lots of apps that track fluids but they are aimed at a different section of the population as all the ones I've tried figure your intake goal based on your weight which is wrong for dialysis patients, and they also try to get you to drink more which is also bad for people like me. While I'm very handy at some things with my computer, doing coding beyond light powershell scripts is beyond my skill level by quite a bit. I'd really thankful you've read this far and if you know of an app like I'm describing, please let me know or if it sounds like a project you could do for a population of people that could some help making our lives a little easier.
The only formulas I would think would be needed for a wide range of people would be:
Pounds to Kilograms (Pounds / 2.2046 = Kilograms)
Kilograms to Pounds (Kilograms * 2.2046=Pounds)
oz to liters (oz / 33.814 = Liters)
oz to ml(oz / .033814 = ml)
“Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is” – Carl Jung
Welcome to iEvolve,
The goal of this app is to help you recognize the darkness within you, so that you may manage it, and not let it control you.
Fair warning: This journey is not going to be a pleasant one.
Once you begin paying attention to your automatic stream of thoughts, you will discover a side of yourself that you will not like. Initially, you may be shocked by this newfound awareness. That’s a clue that you’re on the right track. There is an inverse relationship here: The less aware you are of the negative aspects of your self, the greater their influence on your actions.
Just keep in mind that your goal is not to destroy your ‘shadow,’ but to defeat and submit it.
Not only is the destruction of the ‘shadow’ impossible, it would be counterproductive. Your shadow contains darkness, but it also contains creativity. It is your doorway to the abstract and unknown. Your goal is to recognize its existence. When you can recognize the negative, you will eventually learn to manage it, as you become familiar with its potential. Thus, you will automatically begin liberating the positive aspects that are also hidden within. Just remember be patient with yourself during this process.
I hope this app helps you better understand yourself by monitoring your stream of consciousness, and through that knowledge, increases your capacity to understand everyone else as well.
p.s. Before activating your first objective, please visit the “Instructions” page from the menu and/or watch the feature video from the store page, which showcases the app's functionality (External link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lq6Mkvs--vk ).
NOTES:
- When an objective is active, if you change the frequency of notifications, the new setting will take effect AFTER the next notification is generated. If you want to change the frequency immediately, please restart the objective by pressing "Activate" again.
- If you shutdown or restart your device, the app will need to be relaunched. The stats and notification timer will resume from the time of device shutdown.
