YES YES YES I have wanted something just like this for so long. I want a nice high-level view of which "optional" tasks I'm doing. Am I learning French for half an hour a day? Good job, me. Am I exercising? Eugh, probably not, c'mon Johnny, step it up there boy.

I'm a very visual person and this looks gorgeous; having it all in one place, rather than trying to track "half an hour learning French on Wednesday" in my French notes, is perfect.

I'm downloading this now. Thanks in advance, bornon5 - I'll leave a review on the App Store proper if I like the app after a few days' use.

Update: it's gorgeous. I love that I don't have to define "30 minutes of French per day" - I just fill the bar depending on how much I know I did; was ten minutes today enough, given my schedule and mood? Perhaps it was.

Perfect, just perfect. $2 spent. Thanks.

I think a dev can't ask for more praise than this comment.

Will buy it, too, because of your little review.

Wow, you've made my day. Thank you for this, and for so perfectly understanding my intention.

And this is why HN can be magical. :-)

Also, I'm on the iOS 9 beta so I can't leave an App Store review yet - but I will when it goes public, I promise.

One bit of feedback - the Reminders icon could very easily be put in the three-dots settings page to make the interface even cleaner. I'm likely to set a Reminder time once and change it very infrequently, so I'm not going to be pushing the button very often. But, very minor quibble just for the sake of feedback really.

Thank you!

The reminder icon was a tough one, and ended up in the main header based on beta test feedback (and my own opinion). But you're right to catch that possibility, and I'll keep it in mind. :)

If you like this you should check out Way of Life (http://wayoflifeapp.com/).

Awesome app I came across several months ago and havn't stopped using. I think it's the best one in this category!

Looks interesting, but too complicated (for me). The beauty of Continuo is its simplicity. It feels like the dashboard to my life, without the effort of tracking everything to the n-th degree.
