Users will navigate the app through a feed similar to Instagram's, where they can comment, send likes, and offer encouragement by clicking their respective icons.
The app offers a feed of "trusted friends," allowing users to feel secure as they know who holds them accountable for their tasks.
Privacy features include the ability to turn off comments, set tasks to "trusted friends" only, and hide the location of task completion.
In addition to receiving support from friends, users can increase their task score by completing tasks and earning achievements for specific goals, showcasing their progress.
To ensure user safety, the app allows for reporting tasks and users, as well as blocking them.
In developing Task Together, my approach started with creating lo-fi designs to ensure a clear and intuitive user experience. By focusing on the core elements and utilising simplicity, I was able to prioritise functionality and ease of navigation. These initial designs allowed me to test and refine the user journey, ensuring that every feature aligned with my goal of making task management seamless and collaborative. The lo-fi designs served as a blueprint, guiding me in building a robust and user-friendly platform.
I aimed to evoke a sense of modernity and familiarity, with a clean interface that promotes ease of use and a visually appealing experience. The design elements aim to inspire confidence and comfort, fostering a seamless interaction for users navigating tasks and engagements.

I looked at comparable apps and noticed a gap in creating a truly supportive task management experience. With Task Together, I set out to design an app that helps users set and track their personal goals and fosters a sense of community and encouragement. What sets it apart is the task feed where friends can see and help users achieve their goals.
