Stack Your Wins
A new way to to-do. A to-do app styled as a card game, for scattered, overwhelmed, and burnt-out brains.
Challenge
Most to-do apps punish the people who need them most: timers, streaks, scores, and an infinite list that only ever grows. For someone who is scattered, overwhelmed, or burnt out, the list itself becomes one more thing to fail at.
Approach
Turned the to-do list into a deck you play one card at a time. Every task is a card with a why on it. Play a card, do it, tap 'I did it', and the win is stacked in a vessel that fills up with what you got done. Big cards split into small ones, cards move instead of disappearing, nothing here can go wrong, and there are no timers, streaks, or scores. The brand pairs a purple brain mark with a fan of cards and a gold spark on a starry night ground, with themed vessels like Starry Night and Marble Jar.
Outcome
In development for iOS and Android. Launch page, mark, and sharing cards are live, and the app is coming to the App Store and Google Play.
