I will give this a shot. So far it seems like a planning app that includes tasks that i think of . I need something that alerts me of calendar events or upcoming things so that I don't forget about them. The app tells me it can set reminders and notify me but I don't think that is true from what i can see here.

Can't your regular calendar already remind you of scheduled events? That particular function doesn't seem like it needs an AI.

From my experience with ADHD - calenders are excruciatingly hard to use consistently. Either it "takes too much time" or I completely forget I was trying to use a calender.

Having a tool that can automatically add items from infodumps/todolists would be useful.

I don't udnerstand the chrome extension part though.

I have moderately severe ADHD, and have good reasons to not use medication. My first response to this is that it solves problems that I don't have, and ignores the ones I do have. Organizing my day on paper is trivial. I'm also married to someone with a good partnership, and we offload different types of tasks to each other. She might enjoy having software assistants to be more productive, but I don't need that. I ha…

I've never heard this take before but it makes a lot of sense. Do you mind clarifying the kind of emotional tools you refer to?

I'd love to hear how you get around not taking medication and if you're comfortable sharing why you choose not to.

Who could think that making you open the browser is a good idea to help people concentrate. They took the "release as soon as possible too seriously". A Mental Health App has to be created responsibly. This is unacceptable. It's Buggy and has GPT-3.5, We don't need a dumb assistant that causes more confusion. It started telling me that I have a meeting I don't, and a couple of other hallucinations. Made me lose time, and now I am angry! I will go back to "h.m.m" (a CLI mind map). If you don't have the money or talent to make the previous experiments properly before releasing, at least don't advertise it claiming that you help people who suffer from something.

How can free be sustainable? Data harvesting?

Thanks for this, this seems to solve a decent amount of issues I commonly encounter.

Keep an notepad file open; only when you remeber add stuff to it. At some point it will become a hardened habit and honestly much better than some AI crutch. There are better uses for AI in my opinion..

Privacy policy says no data harvesting from the website itself. OpenAI (who provides the tools) is a different story though.
