Love the look. Without having a chance to download it yet, how does the to-do list part work? Is it pulling a to-do list from one of my current to-do list apps, or do I need to create another one for this? Any future chance for support for a Twitter feed or possibly an RSS feed? Am I the only one that wished this is what the iOS 7 lock screen looks like?

The to-do part is pulling them in from iOS' built in Reminders app. That means you don't have to have yet another to-do app and it syncs via iCloud to your Mac and other devices.

The same goes for the events/calendar panel. They are both using Apple's EventKit API.

The news panel supports RSS feeds and Twitter is a possible option in the future, I'll look into doing it.

I remember seeing a mockup of this on Dribbble a while back. Is the result?

Yes it is! Chris and I have been working on this for the past few months since that Dribbble post. http://dribbble.com/shots/780188-Morning

Awesome, great work. I was hoping this would become a reality.

I really like the idea and I will be checking this out, particularly since I have a long-ish commute to the office.

I will say, though, that I think for the way my morning routine tends to go, it would be more useful to me as a Mac app. I almost always look at my MBP in the mornings before leaving for work, but rarely make a point of checking my iPad, so I could see this being really useful for me as a full-screen Mac app, where I can just leave it running on a space. Any plans in that direction? :)

I hate not having any other comment to make but I think you would benefit from trying to optimise the size of the main banner image [1]. It's currently clocking in at just under 800KB, and loading it was like downloading an image on dial-up on my very reasonable 30Mbps. Even after reloading a few times it took me 16.8 seconds to download.

Good luck with your app and congratulations on shipping.

Nice!

I wake up every day around 5:30am and try to get up and going as quickly as I can.

You nailed some of the key things I already do in the morning: - check the weather - figure out what meetings I have for the day

The other thing I look for is if there was anything interesting for me that happened while I was sleeping. The best example is how I check to see if there are emails from specific people or internal monitoring services.

I could give you about 10 email addresses that I care about and get a digest of emails just from those email address.
