I couldn't find an example/screenshot of how the reminder would appear on the screen

Nor, alas, the pets!

First one’s free:

And a few screenshots on the Mac App Store:

There's no screenshot of the free one. And the other screenshots also appear to be AI?? Or does it actually look like that?

So, on the one hand, I want everyone to be able to vibe code all the software they always wish existed and be able to use it and enjoy it.

But, on the other hand, I don't ever want to use anyone else's vibe coded software. Especially if it's non-essential.

And I certainly won't ever pay for it.

On the Mac App Store page [1], I can see the settings panel in a screenshot. In General Settings / Onboarding, there is a toggle switch labelled:

"Show onboarding on first launch", with more text underneath

"Show first-run guide after installation"

I have no choice but to conclude that this app was vibe-coded from snout to tail.
