Version 2 Will Release on March 31

By
We're finally done with the development of version 2, and now we're testing the application for bugs. Version 2 brings improvements to some features of the application, along with new features and bug fixes. Here is the complete change log for the new version:

Bug fixes: Journal, CompLock, ToDo List

General: 
Update Check added
Nap Alarm added with Dymaxion, Uberman and Everyman sleep cycle support

Journal:
Search added
Attachments feature added

Timetable Manager:
Modify details feature added
Today menu added

The Attachment feature in Journal lets you attach a picture to your journal entries, making it easier to store your memories. Only one picture per entry is allowed for now, and you can't add attachments to previously added entries.

The Nap Alarm feature lets you quickly set up an alarm for a nap, up to a maximum of 40 minutes (we believe a nap shouldn't last any longer). In future versions, we'll let you customize the alarm with options like having to solve math problems to turn off the alarm. We'll also integrate the Nap Alarm feature with the Flash Cards feature, so that you can revise the flash cards you don't remember clearly - on waking up you'll have to solve the flash cards you set, which you don't remember very clearly.

As for Timetable Manager, we have plans to expand on that as well, but more on that in a future post.

Version 0.3 Releasing This Week!

By
We're nearly done with the development of version 0.3, which is mainly a bunch of improvements for each of the existing features.  Notes now has a new interface and you can save all your notes in a file, apart from viewing all your notes in a single window rather than multiple different ones. CompLock steals the spotlight in this version, with a major update. CompLock now includes "work cycles". A work cycle is basically composed of a work period where the computer is CompLocked, and a break period. You can specify the durations of the work and the break periods, and also the number of cycles. There are also preset options, which have been used by experts themselves. The Flash Cards now gives more statistics about your learning progress after each session. We're also adding a new feature to help you with your morning exercise. The exercise given has been scientifically proven to be the most effective, and it lasts just 8 minutes :)  Productivity 0.3 will al...

We're Open-Sourcing Productivity!

By
To encourage other developers to help improve the app, we've decided to open-source Productivity, meaning the source code for the app is now available for download for free. We've made a GitHub repository with the source code and we're adding chunks of the code to it regularly. The code is written entirely in Visual Basic .NET, so anyone who knows the language should find it easy to work on the code and help improve it. To make it easier for other developers to work on it, we've removed third-party paid components and switched to free ones. We still do use other open-source third party components though, whose full source code is available on GitHub and CodeProject. Links to these source codes are given in the Readme file of the project. So what does this mean for you if you're not a developer? It simply means that although the app hasn't had many updates in quite a while, it's surely not a dead project, and we're simply reaching out to other dev...
