HiTo - Hierarchical ToDo
Posted 19. February 2009 at 11:21Categories: Development, iPhone
Yay, my second iPhone-App was accepted at the App Store.
Now, what is HiTo?
It’s a hierarchical ToDo-Application where you can not only create a flat list of todo-items but each and every todo-item can have serveral sub-todos.
And for each and every todo-item you have the following attributes:
- Title
- Note
- Priority (1 - 5)
- Deadline (Can be turned off)
- Done
When a todo-item is marked as done it appears in the list with a checkmark-icon and if a top-level todo is marked done it will not be counted when setting the badge-number for the app. So the badge number always tells you how many todo-items are yet to be done, not how many you have.
Also notable is the deadline-function:
When you turn the deadline on for a todo-item and it’s in the past the deadline will be written in red color. Also in the list this todo-item will be written in red color and every todo item in higher up in this hierarchy trail. So you see at first glance whether there is a todo not done yet and past deadline.
When a deadline will come in the next x days (default 5, can be changed in the settings) the deadline will be written in orange color and the todo-item and every parent todo-item will be also written in orange color in the list.
See the screenshots in the App Store.
One important thing:
This App was done in first place for a friend of mine and for myself. Because I thought other people might find that usefull also I uploaded it to the App Store. But be aware: I do not make any promises as to how often I’ll update this app or whether I’ll add feature requests. That does not mean I won’t do anything at all, but most probably it simply wouldn’t be too much.
Just to keep your expectations low.
