thanks for building this. I'll try it out - I identify quite a lot with your description/motivation of why you build this.
I noticed one (small) problem with the website: The newsletter signup button does not work. It looks like you are missing the gatsby-plugin-mailchimp (based on the console error).
Good luck to you!

Have you considered a PWA?
Yes. The reason I built an iOS app was it is the simplest way to get an app live, if the app gains traction I can definitely expand its availability in the future. Problem with web apps is I often end up with decision fatigue over picking platforms ect. A native app I could just jump in and build.
Saw your other comment regarding the privacy policy needing a lot of rework and that’s it’s all local and I went back to download it.
I was fine trusting that comment.

Personally, I would not use this app if it needed an account or server.
I’m sorry. I don’t know you and the privacy policy things are too broad. I’m very conflicted now.
I don’t want all my data to sync some random server on an update because it went web. Will this happen? Will you make it optional? Third party trackers? I can accept crashes of course, but can you confirm that none of the data or what was being input is sent?
The reason I have iCloud is to sync apps so the data is available between all my devices.
Thankfully I don’t need medicines or a care routine, huh for someone that does, the personal data they’d be leaking is huge. If something happened to your servers, this can also liability issues too.

I’m sorry to bring this up and I get it’s a lot, but I really liked the idea and think it’d be helpful.
I’m just conflicted now between this, the privacy policy and the comment you made where it’s all local.
Here's what I'm doing. Org-mode on desktop, and Organice on my mobile. I have Organice sync to dropbox. On the desktop, I have a few tiny rclone scripts that I can call from emacs to sync to dropbox. It's probably more complex than it needs to be, but it works.
I have a shortcut that runs everyday at bedtime and looks for any due reminders in a specific list. If it finds any, it will enable a dedicated alarm (alarm with a specific name, time and sound I have setup but disabled by default).
Alarms need more attention and action to dismiss than reminder notification and this has been working well for me so far.
I am trying to use any/all building blocks that come bundled on my phone and try not to install too many apps. Hence, this is just an alternative and not an attempt to downplay or trivialize the app in topic.
The concept looks similar to that of the various "streaks" apps. The idea of these apps is, that you create a repeating task and check it off regularly. If you do, you keep your streak, if you fail, you lose it and have to start again. The idea of just repeating tasks - minus streaks - is something I see for the first time here. I personally find the motivation to extend a streak very useful, but maybe the positive r…
What's the difference between this and other todo list apps?

At the moment I haven't done anything around notifications yet which I will explore soon. I have to be careful not to assume what a persons checklist is for though, as I want to be careful that notifications are always wanted.
Thanks! Either way this app is incredibly useful.
I’m looking forward to seeing how your app handles this. Looks like it’s just the thing I need to manage my routine.
Edit: Hmm, I need the checklist to stay checked for the day and then clear on some cadence automatically.
I don’t want it immediately unchecked because that ruins my comfort at having things checked off.
I don’t want it to stay checked because if I have to uncheck it myself the next day that’s not going to happen.

Coping with a hyperactive child can be tough, but foremost you need to do your best to understand them and meet their needs. And “shutting them the hell up” is working against that. Truly, the best route here is probably to find another caretaker who is willing to take the time to help this child… Anecdotally, I had similar troubles as a kid and after a battery of evaluations they found I had slightly diminished verb…
> And “shutting them the hell up” is working against that. It’s fewer words than saying helping to foster increased listening and learning capabilities , but is effectively the same thing. As a parent you want to have deeper and meaningful conversations that allow for instruction, guidance, and mentoring. These things cannot happen if there is a clinical mental illness in the way.
If we are talking about ADHD, this is bullshit.
As someone that wasn’t medicated as a kid and had a lot of meaningful conversations, had mentors, learnt, went to college, built a career, screw your attitude.
If we are talking of that extreme of a case, that’s why medication is there.
But back to the original part, to me it just sounds like you also need to learn how to work with them.

I find these tools work great until you "cave" and ignore it. Like I had a reminder app, worked great for 2 weeks until I ignored it one day. Then it became easy to ignore. I find this true for every brain hack I've found. It works until my brain realizes it doesn't need to listen. I don't want to use drugs for ADHD. Especially after seeing my uncle ruin his life over the course of a decade. Productive, excelled, dru…
Take a look at Habitica. Free, usable as an SPA or natively on Android or iOS. Replaced 2,5 apps for me.
