According to researches, there are almost 40% of visual thinkers in the world. These people perceive information in the form of images better. That is why our team decided to create To Round, a task manager with the clear interface designed for visual thinkers. And now we are excited to introduce To Round to the visitors of ProductHunt.
To Round is an easy-to-use task manager for iOS and Android. The focus is on the simplicity. A distinctive feature of the app is its interface designed as a funnel with bubbles. Each task is a bubble and its priority is determined by the size of the bubble. If the task is completed, it could be closed or postponed by setting up a new deadline. There is also an archive with completed tasks, so you can check up what was done recently.
@anna_svirelkina Great idea and execution. Just from looking at your screenshot I felt more inclined to buy milk than ever before.
I think your key to success will be to integrate with existing task management tools like Asana, Wrike, etc.. The other 60% just won't part with their traditional established tools I'm afraid.
For all the visual thinkers out there, how can you be sure that this bubble approach is the right one for them? What research pointed you in this direction?
Have you thought of having a handful of different themes the visual thinkers could choose from?
As it has been mentioned, people are locked in with current solutions and it is a big move to switch task managers, are you going to enable people to export their past from other sites?
Other than the bubble funnel, what else does To Round provide to differentiate it from others in the space?
@bentossell Hello, Ben!
Thx for your comment! The thing is that we’ve researched this by assembling a focus group of visual thinkers. Our team of developers had 3 different options of how the tasks should be visualized.
After a series of brainstorming sessions, we created our unique main screen – the funnel, where each task is shown as a bubble and the task importance is represented by the bubble size, the bigger the bubble the more important is the task to be done. The title To Round reflects the concept of a task manager where tasks are represented as bubbles.
@anna_svirelkina yeah so are you going to explore any other themes of how they could look?
How else does this differentiate to others in the space?
Are people going to be able to export their current data from task managers into To Round?
@anna_svirelkina@bentossell Did you think about using the size of the bubble to represent the amount of effort involved? I can immediately imagine that having a lot of use for product teams to better understand and convey the amount of work in a backlog or sprint.
I could also see value in forcing large tasks to be broken down into tasks that are small enough, both metaphorically and in bubble-size, to actually fit through the funnel opening!
I think this app may be a good lever to fight against procrastination. The big bubbles are kind of anoying, that I can't handle to keep them on screen. Suggestion: "popping" the bubbles must be so delightful when we finaly achieve to get rid of them :D
