The application as an all-rounded application covers a wide range of functions and features which comprises some of the following modules such as scheduling, notification, diary, virtual pet, and collaboration module. The methodologies involved behind this project includes the waterfall model, a traditional software process model that goes through 6 distinct phases, interview as the requirement gathering technique to gather essential project specifications, feature-rich programming language Kotlin with its high compatibility with Android, Android Studio as the IDE to streamline Android application creation with debugging tools, and firebase, a cloud-based platform as the database that supports real-time database. The outcome of this project is an application that is able to successfully act as a solution to the challenges faced by teenagers and working adults in managing their workloads and reducing their stress. The strengths of the application are its relevance towards the challenges and issues currently on the rise such as mental health which aligns with societal concerns and its diverse functionalities to cater to a wider range of audience.
