TY!

#42Can 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.
Yes! This is definitely one of the types of problems this app is meant to solve. We just launched, but features like repeating tasks are on their way.

#43This 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.
Thanks. We're keeping track of feedback and have a few features like this one the way!

#44Wow, 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.
an empty swift app is in the region of 200 kb when packaged up now.

#46This is an electronic version of a "bring forward" filing system that has been around for many decades. An older friend of mine showed me his "bring forward" file: it has a file for each month and also a file for each of the coming four weeks (labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 because some months have five weeks). He just puts things - like bills, for instance - in the appropriate folder depending on when they're due. And th…
Yep, that's called "43 Folders" or a "Tickler File":

#47Reminds me a bit of TeuxDeux (https://teuxdeux.com/), specifically the rollover feature. But the addition of “next week” or “next month” is cool.

#48For anyone interested here is the TOS[0]. I always like to read them before I install/use something, especially if the something is free.
The support email is a gmail account, which I guess is fine. The TOS looked rushed/boilerplate with little updates. Apparently the app may collect your location, and there’s also errors like:
> Our servers are located in. If you are accessing our Services from outside
And
> No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than __________.
At least these issues can be fixed:
> 11. DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS NOTICE? In Short: Yes, we will update this notice as necessary
As an aside, I’d be interested to know if the tasks/user entered data stays local to the device or if it is sent/synced to some server(s)?
Edit: As another aside, my adblockers prevented the TOS iframe from loading and it appears they were blocking this, apparently WIX related, url: www-strongweekapp-com.filesusr.com

#49Looks like an interesting idea, I'll give it a try. My first thought is this a perfect concept for family planning type stuff. Not planning TO HAVE a family, but planners FOR families or small groups or whatever. It's a perfect place to drop things like vacations or other stuff that will happen in a few months, but we all need to know about. Could use something like "This Weekend" in that list as well. Maybe between…
Thanks for the feedback! Really like the idea of This Weekend. Btw are you suggesting different colors or just fewer colors overall?
I'm really unsure about the colors, other than I don't love them. I'm bad color suggestions! I also don't hate them, but I did notice them right away, they just don't look great.

Really wanted to second the idea of a “this weekend” and “next weekend.” Having very full weeks, that’s sorta how things get broken down for me. Stuff I can sneak in during the week, but really, stuff I’ll spent time on Saturday doing. And with the US’s normal “Saturday is this week, Sunday is next week,” I’m not sure where I should put things.
Even if it was a thing I could turn on for me as a bonus timeframe. Or not. I like software with opinions. :) Nice work!
