Transcript

I've been habitually late my entire life, so I built something to fix it. So you put in exactly when you need to be out the door, and everything you need to do beforehand, and it builds your schedule backwards from the time you need to be ready. So it tells you exactly when to start, it paces you as you move through your schedule. If you're running late, it gives you suggestions on what to cut. And one of my favorite things is that you can share your status with your friends, so they can see like if you're actually on time or running late or maybe you're lying about being on time.
