This is a great start to solve the calendar and time management problem. Here are a few points.

1. The Mobile App will be a killer feature. I'm not in front of the computer 24/7, but my mobile is. It's faster and quicker to take my mobile and start typing.

2. Your App works for daily usage. However, I can plan things on the morning but I can also plan them a day or more before that. There is a need that your app account for that (calendar), but no sure how the implementation should be.

3. Smooth integration with Google Calendar can be a killer feature too. For example, if I set day xx is my friend birthday, so it remembers me to plan for it the day before.

Here's a quick description:

Timeslot is a cross between a Todo list and a calendar. Simply add items to your day's agenda, and specify how long each will take. Timeslot will automatically generate start and end times for each item, so when you have to make a change, your entire agenda will update to flow around it.

An interesting tidbit you might notice about Timeslot: Once you log in, literally every bit of text on the screen is editable. I personally find this quite neat :)

Thanks for your feedback!

1. Yes, I will definitely be making a mobile version of the app. Maybe it can be part of a paid plan?

2. You can actually already plan any day of the calendar. Just click on the date of the agenda to edit it.

3. Yup, another great idea I plan on implementing in the near future.

This is really cool. I would send this over to Sebastian Marshall at sebastianmarshall.com. His blog has a good amount of readers and I think he would love to cover something like this.

Thanks! I was wondering how to spread the word about this. I think Lifehacker would be interested too. I'll be sure to contact Sebastian Marshall.

Consider making an API available, perhaps as a paid service? I can think of several projects that would like to be able to use something like this.

Sure, that would be no problem (it's already built on a REST interface). How do you think other projects would use this?

I would love it if this had Google calendar integration As well. Particularly if it pulled in my appointments for the day and let me schedule around them.
