Thinkcove Studio

A unified planning app that schedules meetings and personal tasks in one flow.

Overview

TYME is a mobile-first day planning app designed to bring professional meetings and personal tasks into a single, seamless calendar flow. Instead of switching between multiple tools for work schedules and personal to-dos, TYME unifies everything into one clear timeline—helping users stay focused, organized, and in control of their day. The goal was simple yet powerful: reduce mental load, eliminate fragmented planning, and create a calmer, more intentional daily routine.

The Problem

Modern users juggle meetings, deadlines, errands, and personal goals across disconnected apps. Traditional calendars focus on meetings, while task apps live separately—causing: • Constant context switching • Missed or poorly timed tasks • Overbooked schedules • Stress from cluttered, unclear days TYME was designed to merge planning into a single mental model—time, not lists.

Our Design Approach

At Thinkcove Studio, we focused on daily user journeys, not isolated features. • Observed how users plan mornings, adjust afternoons, and reflect at night • Identified friction in meeting creation and task rescheduling • Prioritized speed, clarity, and flexibility over complex controls The result is a planning experience that feels lightweight, responsive, and human.
