Famous author and motivational speaker Zig Ziglar once said: “You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.” Planning our day and managing our tasks is a significant job we have to do regularly and devotedly in case we seek success. Tons of books, articles, and interviews from successful and productive people generally send the global message: to be productive, you have to plan your day and tasks and distribute your time and effort wisely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Would you like to have a reliable helping hand in the process of planning your days and setting goals effectively and without any distractions? Welcome to try Upper, a simple and elegant free application for iPhones designed and developed by the Tubik team. Today this motivating app is featured and spinning up at Product Hunt<\/a>, so we’ve also decided to unveil some details of the to-do list design and functionality with our readers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Full-cycle UI\/UX design for the simple and motivational productivity app for iPhones.<\/span><\/p>\n

Process<\/span><\/h2>\n

Creating the to-do list application, the Tubik team realized the high scale of competition in this sphere of utilities: that was a step into the red ocean. Still, as it usually happens in fields covering a wide and diverse target audience, a variety of products is another user-friendly feature: it allows choosing the styles and features every particular user likes. Continuing the theme of personal productivity, which was started with our previous app Toonie Alarm<\/a>, we’ve established the goal to present a to-do list UI with a totally different look and functionality deeply focused on personal and professional motivation.<\/span><\/p>\n

From a UX perspective, the to-do list design was concentrated on extremely simple interactions and intuitive navigation, while in the UI aspect, the core concerns gathered around a high readability level and visual hierarchy that would allow users to use the app easily in any environment and on the go. In addition, working on the visual performance of the app user interface, Tubik designer Ernest Asanov made a general stylistic concept choice in favor of minimalist and elegant solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Functionality<\/span><\/h3>\n

When our team made a decision to design a to-do list, the basic idea set behind Upper was creating a helpful list app design<\/span>, deeply concentrating the user\u2019s attention on the tasks and deadlines. That\u2019s why it doesn\u2019t include complex functionality, distractions, or decorations. It presents only the features and elements needed for time and task management.<\/span><\/p>\n

Functions and features provide the following:<\/span><\/p>\n
