Amimetic Android Apps

Amimetic has produced a range of Android Applications, mostly focused on productivity. They should work on most Android phones (generally version 2.1 upwards) and are available from the Google Android Market.

Here are a few more experimental applications. They are all free to download. Wikipedia Browser for Honeycomb is, as the name suggests, a Honeycomb Tablet only App.

ToDo Log, Fail Log, Success Log

ToDo Log

ToDo Log is a to do list and not to do list in one. You assign points (either negative or positive) to tasks; then work to get the highest score over time by both doing things you want to do and avoiding those you shouldn't do. It was globally featured by Google in September/October 2011 and has been very highly reviewed.

Fail Log

Use Facebook or email too much? Eat unhealthy food? Or smoke? Fail Log will help Eliminate negative habits (for Free) with Fail Log.

Do you find yourself using Facebook or email more than you'd like? Or eating too much unhealthy food? Or smoking? Or doing other negative things? Fail Log can help.

The problem with lots of negative activities are that they have a small, short-term, repeated positive feedback. This is what can make them so addictive.

Fail Log allows you to quickly and easily make a record of when you give in to a negative habit. This associates a negative feedback with it, which will help you avoid doing it in the future. Later you can use the app to analyse when you are most likely to fail (and then you can then take action at these times to avoid doing it).

Success Log

In Success Log you record your successes in exercise, in work, in dieting or any other aspect of life.

It's fast: you open up the app, select from the list you have previously created and that's it; the app closes allowing you to continue with whatever it is you're doing.

It saves the day and time of your success. And if you want to, you can also record a note, building up a log of your experiences.

Later you can use the app to analyse the days and times where you were most successful. Using a "heatmap", histograms and tables you can determine when you are most (or least) productive and take action to improve things.

Task:Life

Task:Life

Using Task:Life you set goals such as going to the gym twice a week, or not eating cake five days a week, then track your progress over time.

You record each day if you succeeded yesterday (and are thus encouraged to do the task today, particularly if you didn't manage it yesterday). This is an effective method of ingraining regular activities into your life.

Task:Life encourages you to exceed your own expectations by tracking the percentage of days you succeed and comparing this with your target. You can view a graphs of your history (and see how your performance has improved over time).

You can choose from several ways to view performance including an overall view, a (custom) windowed view or weekly approach.

Goals: a priority tracker

Goals: a priority tracker

We all have high level goals: spending time with our loved ones, succeeding in our career or projects, learning, enjoying life and doing good.

In Goals you make a list of these and track how well you think you are focusing on each. Over time you build up a comprehensive and useful visualization of how you are doing both in an absolute and relative sense.

You can then see how your real priorities relate to your life as you actually live it. Goals is an easy to use tool that helps you to focus on the things that matter.

Habit Streak

Habit Streak

Join thousands of users to achieve your goals with Habit Streak.

Habit Streak helps you achieve your goals (or New Year's Resolutions) in exercise, diet or other areas of your life. Each day you report on whether you succeeded yesterday, building up streaks of habits and ingraining the activities into your life.

"After a few days you'll have a chain. Just keep at it and the chain will grow longer every day. You'll like seeing that chain, especially when you get a few weeks under your belt. Your only job next is to not break the chain" (Jerry Seinfeld)

Habit Streak has two key advances on Jerry Seinfeld's original technique. Firstly it allows you to build several chains up at once. Secondly it (optionally) prompts you every day to report on your success (whereas one could easily forget to update or look at a physical calendar).

Habit Streak is simple, clear, easy to use and Free.

Habit Streak Pro (Featured by Android Market)

Habit Streak Pro takes Habit Streak further adding additional powerful features giving you additional insight into your habits and more control over managing them. It was featured by the Android Market in December 2011.

Days to Live (a death-clock widget)

An inaccurate estimate of when you will die. A reminder to make each day count. This simple widget-App gives you an incredibly inaccurate estimate of when you will die. It is a reminder to try to make each day count, to do something worthwhile, not to waste time unnecessarily and to be glad you are alive.

"Almost everything: all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure, these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." (Steve Jobs)
