Onboarding & Visualization

Based on usability research we made a few changes to the onboarding process. We included a personalization spot for the user's name, separated the crowded pages into less columns for better flow, and added "next" and "back" buttons for clear navigation. We also added descriptions to make it more clear the user should select their choice of goals.

Day Setting & Visualization

This iteration enhances navigation, usability, and visual clarity. The pencil icon now redirects users to their task list, while the refined navigation bar includes Home, Month Calendar, Weekly Goals, and Profile for clearer structure and improved usability. The current tab is highlighted for better orientation. 

Additionally, visual distractions, like excessive hole designs, were minimized, and readability was improved with adjusted font size and contrast. Task time suggestions are now based on past data, with manual editing options. The profile button was removed from the top left for a cleaner interface.

Other Pages

In our final iteration, tasks are now visually distinct: completed tasks have filled circles, same-day upcoming tasks have outlined circles, and future tasks appear blurred. A monthly calendar has been added for better task planning, and weekly goals based on long-term input are now represented with progress bars that fill as tasks are completed. The profile page provides access to long-term goals and onboarding, creating a more cohesive user experience.
