Izzi Millar spoke exclusively to HELLO! all about the inspiration behind her five-star rated app On Thyme, designed to help students stay organised and keep on top of their workload.
June 09, 2021 - 15:54 BST Grace Lindsay Izzi Millar, a 17-year-old A-Level student from Oxford, has taken the app world by storm. Alongside balancing school work and her extra-curricular activities like gymnastics and rugby, Izzi created On Thyme, a five-star rated app designed for students to keep track of their homework.The app allows you to organise tasks by subject and teacher, sends you reminders before your work is due and you can even upload photos to help keep on top of what is needed.
How do you balance school, gymnastics and working on the app? Do you have to stay pretty organised? "I have five hours of gymnastics training a week, and then I also do rugby. It was a lot easier for me in lockdown because when we were at home all the time I didn’t have to commute, so if I finished work early I could work on the app. I also have quite a lot of free periods at school. I do it when I have time because I enjoy doing it.
How did you find having to work from home during lockdown and not being able to go into school? "I missed my friends, but I am quite an introvert so I actually found it relaxing because I didn’t have to get up early and I didn’t have to deal with being around people all the time, which was quite nice for me! It was harder to concentrate obviously with not having teachers right there but I did enjoy it.
What do you see the future of the app being, are you hoping to grow it in the future? "There are quite a few more features that I want to add and I am getting some of my friends who study languages at A-Level to translate it into other languages so it can be available in other places, I'm just hoping to refine it a bit more and make it work more smoothly."
What are your plans for the future, would you like to go to university? "I do want to go to university, I am not entirely sure what I want to do yet but I think something along the lines of artificial intelligence or computer science or maybe something to do with physics. Then I want to go into the army and I want to be an officer in the Royal Signals so working with technology and cyber warfare.
