Zippy's App Brings Task Management with Insights and Analytics to iOS - Published on 02/18/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California based indie developer, Amit Wadhawan today introduces Zippy 1.0, a new task management app for iOS devices. Zippy provides the user with a beautiful and intuitive user interface to quickly and easily add tasks and reminders. A first for any task management app is having a nifty infographic that provides your with insights on how and when you create and complete tasks which helps you get better at managing and completing them.

Los Angeles, California - Independent developer, Amit Wadhawan today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Zippy 1.0, a new task management app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Zippy provides the user with a beautiful and intuitive user interface to quickly and easily add tasks and reminders. A first for any task management app is having a nifty infographic that provides your with insights on how and when you create and complete tasks which helps you get better at managing and completing them.

"The goal from the outset was simplicity." said creator Amit Wadhawan. "Most apps you see out there have you create a task first, then edit it with swipes and taps to add in reminder times, tags, etc. With Zippy, that's all part of creating the task that just flows and makes the whole process effortless and quick. The idea was to not spend time creating and organizing a task but focusing on knowing what needs to get done."

Zippy's infographic of insights encourages you to act on those tasks and helps you see how you can get better with managing them. Insights such as your completion rate and breakdowns by 'completed early' or 'how late'. It also shows you what time of day and day of the week you tend to create tasks, when you tend to be most efficient in completing them, how far ahead you plan out your tasks, and how close to the due time you complete a task. You can filter the info graphic to track your task management and see how you're doing this week, how you did last week, last month, etc.

Amit drew his inspiration for Zippy while working on another startup of his. "There are some great apps out there for creating tasks and organizing them but none of them encourage you to act on them or go back and make sure you're doing what you need to. The idea of Insights was to keep you motivated and always have a reason to go back to the app and see what you need to get done. It's made me better at managing my tasks and also helps me setup realistic goals that I know I can achieve. Unlike other apps, Zippy isn't for making your grocery list. It's for knowing when to get what done and doing it."

Zippy Features:
* Become Better - Get Insights on how and when you do things
* Fast and Simple - Add tasks and reminders quickly in a beautiful and intuitive way
* Easy Organization - Quickly add one or more tags to your tasks with a single tap
* Organize according to your needs - Create as many new tags or sort your tasks by tags
* Prioritize - View tasks by when they need to get done
* Easily Reschedule - Snooze and Re-schedule reminders with a single tap
* Get others involved - Share tasks via text, email, Twitter or Facebook

"Ever since I can remember, I've loved building things that are simple and beautiful," continued Wadhawan. "From the desk I work on, a waterfall in my parents backyard to an app for travel. I don't discriminate in what I build. I come from a background in Finance earning my college degrees in it and also working as a banker but in 2010, I decided that I wanted to do something more meaningful with my life. Since then, I've brought together my love for building, design and technology; taught myself to code and follow my heart to build technology that's useful and simplifies."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 2.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Zippy 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.

Version 2.0 of MailTamer now in the App Store - Published on 02/18/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Husband and wife dynamic duo, Scott and Ria Greiff today announce MailTamer 2.0, an update to their popular mobile mail utility developed exclusively for iOS7. You can have unlimited accounts in MailTamer and it is lightning fast. Providing a quick and easy way to manage your inbox, MailTamer organizes emails in sender-focused view, contact-view, size-view and date-view of all your email. MailTamer has been completely redesigned for iOS7.

Columbus, Ohio - Husband and wife dynamic duo, Scott and Ria Greiff today are pleased to announce the release of MailTamer 2.0, an update to their popular mobile mail utility developed exclusively for iOS7. Providing a quick and easy way to manage your inbox, MailTamer organizes emails in sender-focused view, contact-view, size-view and date-view of all your email. MailTamer has been completely redesigned for iOS7.

You can have unlimited accounts in MailTamer and it is lightning fast. Inbox overload is an increasingly common problem. MailTamer is your handmaiden to email Nirvana. We have great things baked into the next version of MailTamer. Absolutely free to start clearing out your Inbox. Want more capabilities? They are available as In-App Purchases.

An all new look-and-feel for iOS 7:
The newest version of MailTamer 2.0 includes a number of features added since its initial release last year. Many of the improvements to the application were focused around the account setup process as well as stability improvements to the application.

The sender, contact and recipient-based views, along with chronological and message-size views help organize your Inbox. With a single swipe and tap, emails can be deleted, copied or moved en-masse.

MailTamer makes email simple, making it easier for you to get that Inbox to zero and get back to what matters. The account setup process has been completely redesigned to make the process familiar to users who set up email accounts on their iOS device. We also added shortcuts to other popular email services, so along with Gmail, and Yahoo mail, shortcuts were added for iCloud, Hotmail, Microsoft Exchange, and Aol mail systems. Additional authentication methods were also added to let you specify, along with password, CRAM-MD5 and NTLM authentication methods.

Don�t get buried in mountians of emails and let them get control of you and your inbox again! Slice, dice and shred your way to email Nirvana. MailTamer, now for iOS7, is a game-changer. The only email app with Sender View to process thousands of messages a minute. Powerfully clear out your inbox to make room for important communications.

We�re taking the very best experiences from the way we use email everyday and applying them to this archaic medium that is now your inbox. It�s a new way of looking at your email, and when you use MailTamer for the first time, you�ll say �finally.�

"I had a problem with excessive emails that had taken over my life as a professor, model and mother," explained Ria Greiff, co-CEO. "When I complained to Scott about the lack of time to tame my inbox while I was trying to tame kids and work responsibilities, we came up with the idea of creating an app to help get control of all those rogue emails. Scott, a lead software developer used his design and technical skills to develop MailTamer to help people find the Zen of a Zero Inbox."

Today Scott continues to add features and Ria continues to advocate for those who are bogged down with an overloaded inbox. Scott is currently working on expanding MailTamer features, porting it to Mac and soon to be developed new app which takes GTD to yet another game-changing level. Scott and Ria have been hailed as Innovators both in magazine publications, radio programs and tech awards. On any given night, you can find Scott and Ria working hard to get the word out to people and dreaming up ways of making life easier for everyone.
