The concept is very appealing to me. I have always avoided the use of planners that expect you to set exact times for completion. It just seems so unreasonable that anyone would be able to be that precise all the time about everything.

I did find two typos under the FAQ that you will probably want to correct.

"Why use Stongweek?" needs and "r" in there and in the answer to the question you also make the same spelling error. Purely coincidental or maybe cut and pastey.

This is an interesting concept and reminds me of some of the best parts of Covey and Michael Hyatt planners.

Two small suggestions: let me add a new task by tapping anywhere on the screen (e.g., tap Today than tap anywhere in the middle of the screen), and support swiping back. It feels a little claustrophobic. The data model makes a lot of sense though.

Wow, this is only 3mb. What did you write it in? I was under the impression there was more than 3mb of overhead even with an empty app.

Where do you see 3mb? I see "4.3 MB" on the App Store page but still that's impressive.

When an app is uploaded to the app store, it is compiled for every different device separately. You likely have a higher resolution phone/device than the OP, so there's more image data on your version

Can U suggest a feature that I’ve been looking for in a TODO app for a long time. Tasks that are periodic but not urgent. Like changing the filters on your heating system every 6 months, adding fertilizer to the garden every 3 months, etc. Then when you have some time to spare you can easily see these kinds of tasks that you normally forget.

I am almost tempted to write it myself, none of 3 billion existing Todo apps support repeatable tasks

iOS Reminders does

About the app itself, I would love for it to be available also as a widget so that I can see the next few upcoming tasks in the pull-down menu.

To be most useful the widget should allow you to select what to show. E.g. can choose just next upcoming thing, or next n number of things or whole day etc

I assumed this was a common feature, but I just use Google Assistant to do this. "Remind me to change my filters every 6 months at 10 AM."

I think my longest term reminder is for renewing my secondary citizenship passport (~10 years I think), though I do have this backed up with a Google Calendar event just in case.

This gets close but I don’t think it will then allow you to easily see which of these periodic tasks you can work when you have a few hours to spare today.
