When your to-do list is long, it’s not necessarily a lack of time that poses the main challenge—it’s that you may be inclined to try to do everything at once. That’s when Timelines can step in as a much-needed coordinator.

What we love: Apart from helping you follow your scheduled projects, assignments, or chores, the app also lets you focus. The default setting only allows one running timer at a time—the previous one gets paused once another one has started, which encourages single tasking. Each pause breaks your timeline into separate events, making it easier to look back and assess your progress.

Meet the creator: Lukas Petr, an indie app developer from Prague, Czechia, is the founder of Timelines and other handy everyday tools such as Quadratic Master (for solving and learning quadratic equations) and Routie (an outdoor activity tracker).
