August 9, 2010 – Bainbridge Island, Washington

We are pleased to announce our new back to school line-up of productivity applications. They include SmartTime, SmartNotes (for iPhone and iPad), and SmartPlans.  They also include two new apps, SmartCal for iPhone and SmartTime for iPad.  Both are currently undergoing testing and will be ready in the very near future.

SmartCal is an integrated calendar and planner that combines tasks and events just the way your day unfolds.   It allows you to sort and prioritize your tasks at the tip of your finger, and then inserts them into the free time in your Calendar. It even splits your tasks for you automatically.  Quick add new appointments simply by tapping on the time line from the Day or Week views.  SmartCal also syncs directly with your iPhone Calendar, enabling seamless connections onward to iCal, Mobile Me, and Outlook.

SmartTime for iPad is the ultimate integration of calendars, to-do’s, notes, projects, and people.  It combines the best features of our SmartApps into one productivity powerhouse with a simple, intuitive interface.  Flip through calendar views, take notes and create new tasks from any highlighted text, integrate tasks dynamically into your work day, manage your time, time your projects and calls, and see it all on one uncluttered screen.

Buy Now $2.99 (U.S.)

We are extremely excited to report that SmartPlans has just been listed as “What’s Hot” on the iTunes App Store. SmartPlans follows the success of SmartNotes (#1 on productivity app in January), SmartTasks (reached #4 in February) and our flagship app SmartTime (over half a million downloads, and featured recently on the Apple Web site).

Start off by just using it as a Task Manager. Then use the Timer to time your tasks and export reports to Excel. That’s a great way to do client billing. Then start to build Plans, drop your Tasks into them, and even manage multiple Plans from the touch-and-drag Gantt Chart. And in our latest version, you can keep track of your Life Goals while you get things done.  Learn more here.

We are extremely pleased to announce the latest releases of Smart Time, Smart Tasks, and Smart Plans. Here’s what’s new for each:

Smart Time w/ Alerts and Calendars now features alerts for Tasks as well!  The best new feature is variable Snooze Alerts. This allows you to tap the alert and ‘snooze’ it until it reminds you again 30 minutes later – or whenever you would like. Also in this major upgrade are variable week contexts so you can divide your week into any two parts.

Buy Now

Smart Tasks w/ Alerts, Sync, Events now offers Push Notification Alerts for both Events and Tasks, and includes the same Snooze Alert feature as its older brother, Smart Time.  Smart Tasks has most of the same features as Smart Time except its advanced calendaring.  However, you can view Events in Smart Tasks’ “Smart View’ and can synchronize both Tasks and Events to Google Calendars.

Smart Plans w/ ToDo’s, Timer and Clients now features graphical reports that you can take screen shots of.  You can also export detailed reports on CSV format which can be imported by any spreadsheet program.  Email reports to your friends.  Also introducing a new module, Life Goals manager, helps you keep track of how you balance your goals while performing tasks in your projects.

 

SmartPlans – get ready for 1.1

Maybe we should have named SmartPlans “kitchen sink,” it does so many things.  Interestingly, in terms of the size of the app, it’s the smallest one we’ve made. It just happens that all of the 5 ( now, 6) featured ‘applets’ of SmartPlans are all interwoven to work closely together. Here are some screen shots that show the latest features that we are testing out. Expect a release in the next few weeks. (more…)

 

We are excited to announce that all three of our SmartApp products will be adding significant new features in their upcoming releases. We are currently beta testing them this week and next, and hope to have them submitted to the app store by the 15th.  We’ll give you some screen shots in the next few days, but here is a quick list of some of the new features.
