Really Love ByDesign...
If you're looking for an easy to navigate task manager, that is simple and yet very versatile and powerful at the same time, then this is a must have.
"Simplicity with the power and flexibility to make your own"
I actively dislike 'every day' apps that are complicated, hard to work out and as such waste time, money and cause stress (not what productivity apps are supposed to do??). ByDesign is the opposite of that and very inuitive to use and most people will be able to work it out really quickly.
I "feel like I can breathe" when i use this app, and look foward to opening it up.
It's only early days for them, and already I love this app, and I've tried a load recently and over the years! There's obviously a lot of thought gone into ByDesign and a clear remit on waht it's supposed to do. It has a 'feeling' of clarity. And there's a lot in the pipeline.
I love the fact I can easily see my values, goals for the year, and habits all in 1 place. It also has gamification as a motivator to keep you on track.
>The UI looks grea
> UX is great
>Intergrates with Google calendar
>IOS app works really well
> Support was lighting quick and helpful
>Calendar view looks and works great.
A final thought:
Making something simple yet highly functional and powerful is tough! It was Einstein who famously said "everything should be as simple as possible, but not simpler" and this has that.
So if you want simplicity with flexibility and the power to create a dahsboard that suits you and the way you work, then this is superb. It can only get better.
"Hat's off to the crew at ByDesign"
I hope we're included in all the new features, but even without them, I love this.
Keep up the good work.

Jun 18, 2025Wow — thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful and generous review. You perfectly captured what we're aiming for with ByDesign: clarity, simplicity, and real power — without the overwhelm. It means a lot to hear that the app helps you “breathe” and actually want to open it each day.
We totally agree — building something simple and flexible is one of the hardest design challenges, and your words (and the Einstein quote!) remind us why it’s worth it.
And yes — you’re absolutely included in all the upcoming features. We’ve got some exciting updates on the way, and it’s feedback like this that keeps us fired up.
Thank you again for the encouragement — it really made our day.
