pegkerrMy new favorite app is Carrot, which is described as a To-Do list with a personality. When I first downloaded it and opened it, Carrot greeted me with, "Greetings, lazy human."
And what a personality. It's delightful. Carrot has a variety of moods, from 'Joyful' to 'Wrathful.' Check off tasks, and it'll make her happy, and she'll offer you rewards. Very peculiar rewards. My first reward was a string of zeros and ones which Carrot told me was the digital spelling of the word 'manatee,' which, she assured me, doubtless would come in useful some day.
Slackers, on the other hand, make her angry, and she gets scathing and a little bit crazy. Think of her as sort of a cross between HAL 9000 and Severus Snape. If she's wrathful, she'll address you as 'Meatbag.' It's like being bullied by a hilarious, vindictive robot, teetering on the edge of insanity. Even the documentation is funny. On the list explaining the various levels you can move up, as long as you check off enough items on your to-do list, Carrot explains under 'Completed Items': "Look upon your meager list of accomplishment and weep for your wasted life."
