What is Waqt?
Waqt is a new way of thinking about time, in relation to the things we need to get done. Waqt calculates your total task burden, and shows you exactly how much time you have left before bed, so you can focus on what matters. Its unique blend of gamification and practicality encourages you to beat the clock without feeling overwhelmed. And for times when you want less pressure, the time surplus mode flips the experience, showing you how much free time you’ve earned to enjoy at your own pace. Waqt makes mastering your day feel achievable - and even fun!
How does it work?
At it's most basic level, Waqt presents you with a total time burden of your tasks on the top left, and a countdown to your bedtime on the top right. This compels the user to always keep their total task burden lower than the time remaining, raising awareness of what can be done within the available time.
Some people, especially those with time blindness may find this type of instant feedback very helpful, as it reduces the cognitive load of having to look at a clock, and arriving upon the time you have left, versus it being simply presented to you.
The app also aims to enforce a consistent wake-up and sleep schedule, which the user can adjust to their liking.
