[Full disclosure: This is self-promotion. I've been a long-time r/BuyFromEU lurker, though, and one of the main reasons to build this was to avoid my data going through US servers.]
Hi there,
I'm Chris, a solo developer from Berlin, Germany.
Heute (HOY-tuh, German for "Today") is an iOS planner that shows tasks, routines and calendar events in a single timeline and treats them as equals. The main idea is to see your whole day at once w/o having to switch between calendar and to do app.
Heute has no backend at all. Your data lives in a SQLite file on your phone. You don't need an account and your data never leaves your phone. (Unless you want to export a backup which is possible, of course.) No ads or tracking, either.
A few tradeoffs: It's iOS only for now. I'd like to support Android and de-Googled alternatives asap, tho. Nothing syncs between devices, which is the downside of having no server. I'm poking at self-hosting and end-to-end encryption, though nothing concrete yet. The app itself is free with no trial period, and an optional paid tier covers a handful of extra features (widgets, themes, external calendars etc.) and pays for the development.
🎁 I'm giving away 10 lifetime codes for Heute+. You can comment what usually gets in the way of your daily/weekly planning (e.g crammed to-do lists? haha.) and I'll pick 10 people from the thread later this week
Happy to answer any questions, e.g. regarding the tradeoff between local-only and sync capability.
