"I've been looking for a replacement for the 30/30 app for aaages..." "I loved the 30/30 app and then it disappeared, literally, just ghosted me..." And our very favourite... "When 30/30 disappeared, I thought all was lost, until I found [Llama Life](https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6454469750?pt=126525111&ct=llblog&mt=8)! You saved me." Wow. Ok, we hear you loud and clear, a lot of productivity enthusiasts and people struggling with getting tasks done alike, loved the 30/30 app. ## Llama Life and the 30/30 app On our mission to creating a tool to help all our users have calm, focused productivity, we've added a lot of features which we feel will be able to help if you're searching for a replacement for the now defunct 30/30 app. At our core, [Llama Life](https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6454469750?pt=126525111&ct=llblog&mt=8) and 30/30 are both time management tools that help users stay on track by allowing them to create a list of tasks, and setting a specific amount of time for each task.

We've incorporated timeboxing and the [Pomodoro Technique](https://llamalife.co/blog/25-minutes-the-pomodoro-technique-for-improved-productivity-clcraoq7t580971pnth83sfopg), however have allowed room for flexibility as we know there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution for [productivity methods](https://llamalife.co/blog/finding-the-right-productivity-method-that-works-for-you-clcrap9aq581591pntx26btzqx)! ## Increase your focus and time Setting a fixed amount of time for each task, helps intensify focus and encourages working on one thing at a time. Sometimes it helps to start with a small timer and build your way up - you can set timers as little as 1 minute, or several hours...the choice is yours. ## Use alarms that work for you We have a range of alarms including: - _Silent/Visual_\- no sound, flashes color when time is up. Perfect for when you're in a meeting. - _Nag Alarm_ \- plays sound when time is up, then reminds you every minute until you turn it off. - _Continuous_ \- plays sounds when time is up, then plays continuously until you turn it off. ## Set gentle reminders to stay on track We're constantly surrounded by potential distractions, and sometimes need a reminder to bring our attention back to the task. Llama Life can play a soft _chime_ at an interval of your choosing. For example, you can have a 30 minute timer which plays an alarm at the end, but also have a chime play every 6 minutes within that. ## Understand what time tasks start and end See the start and end time for _each_ task on your list. You'll also be able to see your _total_ list time and estimated _finishing_ time, to help you better plan your day. ## When your timer ends, capture the extra time There may be times when you're in flow, and want to keep working after the timer ends. When the timer hits 00:00, Llama Life starts counting the _extra time_ spent, so all time is accounted for. ## Create templated lists to save time Create ' _Preset Lists_' for tasks you perform together, or are recurring, eg 'Morning' can include a number of tasks that you do every morning. Presets can then be loaded into your main list with a few clicks.

This means a 10 minute slice of time always looks the same, and will appear double the size of a 5 minute slice. The abstract concept of time now feels more concrete. ## Drown out distracting noises Replace the unwanted noises around you with lovely background sounds. You'll be able to choose sounds from a beach, forest, thunderstorm, and wind. ## Pick task colors and emojis You can personalize each task you can choose an emoji and background color. This helps to visually group similar tasks together or highlight tasks which need to stand out. ## Integrate with your existing workflow Work with your favorite tools by importing tasks from Todoist and Notion (Notion integration in Beta) into [Llama Life](https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6454469750?pt=126525111&ct=llblog&mt=8) with just a few clicks.​ ## Understand how you're spending your time [Llama Life](https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6454469750?pt=126525111&ct=llblog&mt=8) will show you a simple report on the tasks you've completed and how much time they took. ## A great alternative to try If you're a fan of the 30/30 app and keen for an alternative, give ​ [Llama Life](https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6454469750?pt=126525111&ct=llblog&mt=8) a go!
