It’s Done! Another great App

Did you remember to lock the door? Turn off the stove? Take your vitamin? It’s Done! gives you perfect recall of completed tasks. So when that uneasy thought occurs, “Did I remember to…?”, It’s Done! helps you confidently confirm the task is done. No need to check or re-check. No worries at all.

“sometimes I can repeat an action, like checking to see if the front door is  locked, over and over again.  I do not have OCD  (obsessive-compulsive disorder).  I am not registering the action of locking the door in my brain…”

Many people with head injury have found this App to be very easy to use and  helpful.  It also provides individuals with TBI and their loved ones with reassurance about safety.

Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 4.0 or later.>> Read more
