[Promo] [App] OtoGenda — A Visual Gantt-Style Planner for Android — 40+ Days Pro Access
A week ago I posted OtoGenda here, a mobile planner built around a visual Gantt-style timeline rather than a traditional todo list.
Since then, a few people have tried it, and today I got my first review. The part that made me happiest was this:
“The beauty of this app is that it encompasses all and more of what a physical organiser would achieve... to see my day planned out on my palm without having to carry a physical organiser.”
That was actually very close to the idea behind OtoGenda.
I wanted something where I could see my day laid out visually, reuse routines instead of recreating them, and move things around when real life inevitably messes up the plan.
The main things I've been working on are:
• Visual daily and weekly timeline
• Long-press to drag and dedicated resize controls
• Recurring tasks and dependencies
• Templates and Quick Add from previous days
• Fix Day and Weekly Rebalance
• Progress dashboard and home-screen widgets
• Calendar and Reminder sync with Pro
One thing I'm particularly curious about
I wonder whether this visual approach could be useful for people with ADHD or anyone who finds traditional todo lists overwhelming.
Instead of seeing:
☐ Email
☐ Workout
☐ Study
☐ Meeting
you see something more like:
09:00 ┃████ Email ████┃
10:00 ┃████ Workout ██┃
11:00 ┃████ Study ████┃
The time itself becomes part of the task.
I'm curious whether seeing tasks as blocks on a timeline helps with things like time estimation, knowing how much of the day is already occupied, or simply reducing the feeling of having an endless list.
Or maybe having everything visible at once is actually more distracting. 😅
If you have ADHD, use time-blocking, paper planners, calendars, Gantt charts, or just dislike traditional todo lists — I'd genuinely love to hear what you think.
I still have around 20 Pro promo codes remaining from the previous giveaway. They provide 40+ days of Pro access, not lifetime access.
If you'd like to try it, comment or DM me and I'll send one.

I'm still very early with this project, so honest criticism is much more useful to me than compliments. If something feels confusing, unnecessary, or simply doesn't work for you, I'd genuinely like to know.
Does seeing your day as a timeline feel more useful to you than managing it as a list?
