Currently in beta, the Beeline app is a task-focused communications platform. Based in Sweden, the new productivity-increasing application allows users to send a task to a friend, 'sting' them as a reminder to get it done and also receive notifications when the task has been completed.
This essentially allows you to digitally nag your friends to do something, but with a simple tap instead of grating vocal or text reminders. The Beeline app could come in particularly useful for families and commitments community members make. On the flip side, it is a way to remember the promises you have made to friends and family, from paying someone back for lunch to picking up milk on the way home.
Key Themes Behind This Trend
