According to researches, there are almost 40% of visual thinkers in the world. These people perceive information in the form of images better. That is why our team decided to create To Round, a task manager with the clear interface designed for visual thinkers. And now we are excited to introduce To Round to the visitors of ProductHunt.
To Round is an easy-to-use task manager for iOS and Android. The focus is on the simplicity. A distinctive feature of the app is its interface designed as a funnel with bubbles. Each task is a bubble and its priority is determined by the size of the bubble. If the task is completed, it could be closed or postponed by setting up a new deadline. There is also an archive with completed tasks, so you can check up what was done recently.

@anna_svirelkina Great idea and execution. Just from looking at your screenshot I felt more inclined to buy milk than ever before.
I think your key to success will be to integrate with existing task management tools like Asana, Wrike, etc.. The other 60% just won't part with their traditional established tools I'm afraid.
I think this app may be a good lever to fight against procrastination. The big bubbles are kind of anoying, that I can't handle to keep them on screen. Suggestion: "popping" the bubbles must be so delightful when we finaly achieve to get rid of them :D
To Round is a task manager with clear interface designed for visual thinkers. A distinctive feature of the app is its interface designed as a funnel with bubbles.
Each task is a bubble. The priority is determined by the size of the bubble. If a task is completed it could either be pulled into a funnel or postponed by setting up a new date. There is also an archive with completed tasks, so you can check up what was done recently.
All the tasks are categorized and could be filtered by tags, each of which is recognized by its own color. If you prefer the classic list view, you can simply switch to the standard to-do list view.
Cool idea, and very well done first version! After spending 10 minutes with it, my unsolicited feedback:
1) It seems really hard to "select" an existing ball. I try to tap 10-20 times before the bottom menu comes up. After messing with it I realized that what's happening is if the phone things you are trying to "move" the ball (even 1px) it doesn't let you tap the ball to expose the menu. The only way is to be SUPER careful when you tap to not cause any friction on the screen. Perhaps some tweaks to interaction would make this more forgiving.
2) The UI to add new balls by pulling out the right-side drawer seems unnecessarily novel. I haven't seen any other app do that.
3) I love the idea of tasks as balls so you can prioritize your "big rocks".
4) I didn't really like the canned categories, which make some assumptions about how I use to-do apps. I would personally only use this for work tasks, so I had to go delete all the categories and add new work ones. I bet most users who actually use categories would not match up with the canned ones – so you might look into whether it makes sense to just let everyone start from scratch.
5) I expected to be able to increase the size of balls by pinch/drag on the main UI – but have to open the detail screen and unhide the slider to actually do this.
6) I love the airy look/feel.
7) The nav icons were't super intuitive for me.
