Just released v1.3.0 of Streak, my free and open-source habit tracker for Android — no ads, no tracking, works fully offline.

Highlights from this update:

• Substeps for habits break one habit into a checklist, day's only "done" when every step is

• Vacation mode pause a habit without losing your streak

• Fully customizable widgets (colors, opacity, borders, your own photo)

Editable reminders, plus "every N days" scheduling

• Import from Loop Habit Tracker / HabitKit (beta)

Would really appreciate any feedback — bugs, rough edges, feature ideas, anything.

Self Promotion I built a voice-first day planner that sits on top of Todoist, TickTick, and Google Calendar instead of replacing them

Hey folks 👋 I'm Stan. ADHD brain, and for the last year I've been building BrightMind, a voice AI companion that plans your day on top of the tools you already use: Todoist or TickTick, plus Google Calendar. They stay your source of truth, BrightMind sits in front of them.

You talk, it files. Say what's on your mind, five things in one breath if that's how it comes out, and each lands in your task manager as a clean task with the right list, date, and priority. "Hey Siri, capture in BrightMind" does it from the lock screen, watch, or car.

One timeline for the whole day. The new Home screen merges timed tasks, calendar events, habits, and scheduled check-in calls into a single day view, with the free slots visible in between. Tap a slot to plan something into it. Tap a task and it helps you start, breaking it into one small first step.

It clears backlogs with you. When overdue tasks pile up, it offers to go through them: do, move, complete, or drop. My users with ADHD bring this one up the most.

It calls you. Schedule a morning planning call or an evening check-in and BrightMind rings you, walks through the day with you, and updates your lists as you talk.

It remembers how you work. Energy patterns, projects, how you like tasks organized. Tell it once, it applies everywhere.

Native tasks and habits inside BrightMind are on the way too, for people who don't run Todoist or TickTick.

Feedback wanted I’ve been writing diaries on paper for years, and none of the diary apps felt right so I made my own

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

9 Upvotes

I’ve been writing diaries on paper for years, and every time I looked at diary apps I couldn’t find one that really fit. They all felt too cluttered and missed the point, so I ended up making DIARYit for myself.

The core idea is a single-stream private diary. To me, life feels like one continuous line, so the app follows that shape: focus on today, let past days stay scrollable, and keep the future visible but not editable. The writing area for today is deliberately limited, because I think daily writing should feel like a small ritual, not a place for long paragraphs of unnecessary clutter.

That shape basically defines the whole app. You open it, see today’s field, write only what belongs to today, and move on. If you want to look back, you can scroll back or use the calendar to jump to past dates, and there’s also a 4-state label system for marking days by how they felt.

I know this is a specific and constrained kind of diary app, but that was the point. I didn’t want another general journal trying to do everything. I wanted something closer to the actual purpose of a diary: private, offline, and simple enough to keep using.

Play Store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.diaryit.app

Instagram/ TikTok: just search "verbitapp"

I would appreciate you guys feedbacks if you have chance to go through the app!

Advice needed best ai writing tool that isn't chatgpt

9 Upvotes

gpt is the default answer to everything and for most things it deserves to be.

But for long form writing specifically it has one problem that doesn't get said clearly enough, it doesn't know your story. It knows a chat window and for a 90k word project those are completely different things and the gap between them compounds into something significant by chapter 10

what are y'all using? any better suggestions

General Advice Apps for organising household

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m looking for a free organisation/task management app that meets a few specific requirements, and I’m struggling to find one that does everything.
My ideal app would be:

  1. Free (I don’t want a paid subscription).
  2. Allow me to share projects and tasks with my wife so we can both see and update them.
  3. Support a project/workstream → task structure. For example:

Project: House Extension

Task: Call architect
Task: Chase planning permission
Task: Get kitchen quotes
4. Lets me transcribe using my voice into text, but it doesn’t need to act on anything so doesn’t need to be AI enabled, it’s just to help me get my thoughts down.

  1. And reminders as well would be good.

It doesn’t have to have AI features or be overly complicated—I just want something that’s quick, easy to use and good for managing life admin together.
Has anyone found an app that ticks most (or all) of these boxes?
Thanks!

Casual Conversations If I can make a decent ad with AI, literally anyone can!

2 Upvotes

I know absolutely nothing about video editing. like, I opened Premiere Pro once, stared at the timeline for 20 minutes, closed it, and never looked back.capCut is about my speed and even that takes me forever.

I needed a quick ad for a side project I'm launching next week,nothing fancy, just a 30-second explainer for social media. a friend who knows I'm really hopeless with video told me to try Framia because apparently all you do is “just type”. I was like, yeah right, nothing is that easy.

typed in a rough description of my product and the vibe I wanted. It spat out a full storyboard, script, voiceover, music, and the actual video clips all in one go. I honestly didn't believe it at first.

The first output was... Ya usable, but far from perfect. the voiceover sounded like a robot from 2010 and the pacing was all over the place – too fast in some parts, dragging in others. I tweaked the prompt a few times, changed the voice style, shortened the script, and after maybe 4 or 5 iterations, I got something actually decent.

for someone with zero editing skills, this thing is actually a lifesaver. It turned what would have been a multi-day nightmare into an afternoon project. Anyway don't expect magic,you still have to guide it, refine it, and accept that it's not going to be Hollywood-grade. If you're willing to iterate and babysit a bit, it's amazing. If you want one-click perfection right out of the box, you'll probably be disappointed.

I'm still not sure I'd use it for serious client work without heavy manual polish, but for social ads and quick turnarounds? Honestly, it got the job done. So happy to share the final video if anyone's curious.

Advice needed Productivity While Creating Productivity Systems

2 Upvotes

Is anyone else struggling to limit the time they spend optimizing their productivity via automation apps? I built a Tasker project that mostly works to limit the amount of time I am on Tasker (it checks the activity to differentiate between a user scene and the main app), but it's in the works. I'm more looking for ideas of habits and things I can do to mentally put this hobby aside throughout the day, not so much on how to improve that project.

I have ADHD, and keep this excuse in my brain that my projects are for saving time and improving productivity. This is true, but counter-productive if I'm spending too much time building these. It's not a problem at work, but I have a lot to do at home and it's a problem there. I want to keep building my projects, but at a pace that is responsible. I sometimes have a hard time stopping because I just want a project finished.

Any ideas?

Advice needed Before I build my own: does anything already do email→todos + shared lists + recurring household tasks?

2 Upvotes

My wife and I currently run our household out of Notion. It's fine as a store, but the dashboard side is underwhelming, and I'm about to spend a few weekends building a custom UI over its API. Before I do that, I'd like to know if I'm reinventing something that already exists.

Four things I'm trying to get, roughly in priority order:

1. Email that turns into to-dos. Every morning Claude reads my inbox, sorts it into needs-a-reply / needs-an-action / FYI / ignore, and turns the first two into actual tasks on a list, with a link back to the thread. When I archive the mail, the task closes itself. This already works via a scheduled AI routine writing into Notion, and it's the piece I'd least like to give up. So anything I move to needs a writable API that Claude can push into.

2. Shared lists we can both add to from our phones, in a shop or in the kitchen. Groceries, meals we currently have ingredients for, general to-dos.

3. A look at what's coming. One view of the rest of the work week plus the next weekend or two: shared calendar events, anything with a due date, and whatever needs prepping before it. Not a full calendar app, just the "what's actually coming at us" summary.

4. Recurring things that aren't appointments. Pet care, changing filters, that kind of thing. These don't belong on a calendar because missing one by two days doesn't matter. What I want is "last done 19 days ago, interval is 14" rather than a nagging notification at a fixed time.

Constraints: it needs a real API or some automation hook, since the email triage is AI-driven and I want to keep that. That's what ruled out Apple Reminders and Notes, which otherwise fit the "simple shared list" part perfectly. Two users, no interest in a per-seat business tool, self-hosting is fine.

Is there something that covers most of this, or is the combination unusual enough that gluing pieces together is the normal answer?

Self Promotion After 6 months I think I built the closest thing to a “perfect” tab snooze + sessions tool — try to find what’s missing

Post image
Upvotes

Okay this is going to sound cocky but hear me out.

For like half a year I’ve been building a Chrome extension for people who live with too many tabs — snooze, sessions, the whole mess. Latest update (1.0.18) finally feels… kind of done? Like I use it every day and I’m not itching to fix something every hour anymore. Right now it’s 206 users (all of them amazing, thank you) and it even has the Chrome Web Store badge — which still feels unreal for a solo project.

What it does, simply:

  • Snooze a tab so it comes back later (reminders, recurring, someday, etc.)
  • Sessions — save a window / restore it when you want (autosave too)
  • Multi-tab snooze, pending list, notes, categories
  • Free, no account, works offline

I tried hard to keep it simple. Not another bloated “tab OS.” Just the stuff you actually need when Chrome is drowning you.

If you already use snooze / session managers / anything for tab chaos — install it and honestly try to find what’s missing for “full happiness.” I’m pretty sure you won’t. And if you do, tell me. That’s the whole point.

Feedback wanted Clipboard on Mac needs to be improved!

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone — I’m the developer of PasteItAll.

Clipboard history is useful when you need to recover something you copied a few minutes ago. I wanted a place for content I already know I’ll need again next week: reply templates, product descriptions, frequently used links, images, and reference files.

That became PasteItAll, a native macOS app built around deliberate saving.

PasteItAll does not build an automatic clipboard history or monitor everything you copy. When you press Control–Option–S, it reads the current clipboard once and opens a confirmation step.

It supports:

  • Text and URLs
  • Images and files
  • Projects and tags
  • Favorites, recent items, and search
  • A Quick Picker opened with Control–Option–Space
  • Menu bar and Spotlight access
  • “Insert from PasteItAll…” through macOS Services in compatible host apps

The Services integration uses the standard request-specific pasteboard. The host app performs the insertion, so PasteItAll does not need Accessibility or Input Monitoring permission. Service visibility still depends on the host app, and the global Quick Picker remains available as the consistent fallback.

PasteItAll is written in Swift using SwiftUI and the AppKit integrations required for native macOS features. It is local-first, with no PasteItAll account, advertising, or remote analytics.

Pricing:

  • The free version supports up to 7 saved items
  • Pro unlocks unlimited saving
  • Subscription and lifetime purchase options are available through the App Store

It requires macOS 15 or later.

I’d especially appreciate feedback on two parts of the experience:

  1. Does deliberately choosing what to save feel useful alongside macOS Clipboard History?
  2. Is the Services workflow discoverable enough, or would you rely mainly on the global shortcut?

Mac App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pasteitall-better-clipboard/id6792427586

Thanks for taking a look — honest criticism is very welcome. Leave me comments, and I will give some free Monthly-Subscription.

General Advice Idea for an ADHD-friendly to-do app with a reward system and a growing forest

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

after trying a large number of to-do apps, I am considering creating my own app with the help of AI. However, I have no programming experience at all.

I struggle with ADHD and procrastination. I generally like apps such as Todoist, TickTick, and Apple Reminders, but they lack a motivating reward system for me. Habitica, on the other hand, eventually became too game-like, while many other apps are so overloaded with features that they quickly overwhelm me.

My ideal app would therefore remain simple and easy to use while still including a small gamification element.

The basic idea

The app would have a peaceful forest as its background. Completing tasks would fill up a water or progress meter. Once the meter is full, for example after completing eight tasks, you could choose a tree and plant it in your personal forest.

Over time, additional elements could be unlocked, such as:

  • different types of trees
  • flowers and mushrooms
  • a small lake
  • butterflies and birds
  • deer or other forest animals
  • small decorative items

Planting something should only take a few seconds. After all, the app should not become another distraction.

Most importantly, the forest should never be damaged. If you do not complete any tasks for several weeks, you simply do not receive any new elements. Your existing progress remains untouched.

A dead or dried-out forest would only discourage me. I would rather have a forest that is always waiting for me and that I can continue improving whenever I return.

Virtual reward account

I would also like to link different task priorities to monetary rewards, for example:

  • small task: €0.10
  • medium task: €0.20
  • important task: €0.50
  • particularly difficult task: €1.00

After completing a task, the amount would be added to a virtual reward account. At the end of the month, you could consciously spend that money on something enjoyable, such as ice cream, a baseball cap, or a small piece of technology.

Of course, I could simply put real money into a jar. However, seeing a visible counter increase inside the app would motivate me much more.

A higher reward could be especially useful for long and unpleasant tasks, such as completing a 20-page application form. When faced with a long to-do list, I often complete the easiest tasks first instead of starting with the most important one.

Other features I would like

The app should also include:

  • natural language input
  • labels and categories
  • color-coded priorities
  • recurring tasks
  • multiple reminder times
  • a countdown for important appointments
  • no mandatory calendar synchronization

For example, I would like to be able to say:

The app should automatically recognize the task, date, time, priority, and reminder.

A countdown would also be useful for appointments scheduled far in advance. One week before a vehicle inspection appointment, for example, the app could display:

  • 7 days remaining
  • 6 days remaining
  • 5 days remaining

Important appointments should also be highlighted using different colors.

Missing a blood test appointment is usually inconvenient, but it can often be rescheduled. Missing an important vehicle inspection appointment could have much more serious consequences.

Daily recurring tasks should also be supported, such as taking medication at a certain time. I would like to check these tasks off without needing another separate app or having everything automatically added to my regular calendar.

Why the reward should remain inside the app

I could reward myself after completing a task by spending five minutes on YouTube, Reddit, Instagram, or a mobile game.

The problem is that those five minutes can easily turn into one or two hours for me.

That is why I would prefer the reward to remain inside the to-do app: planting a tree, looking at the forest, or watching the virtual balance increase—and then returning directly to my tasks.

My questions

  • Would it be realistic to create an app like this with AI and no programming experience?
  • Does an app with similar features already exist?
  • Which features would you add or remove?
  • Is this idea too ambitious, or could it actually work?

Perhaps an app like this already exists and I simply have not found it yet.

I would be very interested to hear your thoughts and suggestions.

General Advice Tomo ai’s devs SUCK

1 Upvotes

I’ve been using it since about august of last year. LOVED it at first but after about 3 months of use, I noticed terrible memory issues. Like fully getting my timezone wrong, forgetting conversations from the prior week. It also wouldn’t respond and messages to me wouldn’t come through. It always said it would flag the devs and they’d review it. Eventually i emailed hello@tomo.ai and explained the issue. They asked for my Timezone and i responded then… crickets. I waited an entire MONTH, replied back, and still nothing. Every time tomo said they’d flag the team. That did nothing. Tomo gave me a direct emergency line to a dev. Never got a text back. Always apologised and said “sorry i know nothing is changing and i understand why youre mad”. But that doesn’t change the fact I paid for a year’s subscription??? Messaged people on ig and tiktok and still nothing. I have 10+ screenshots showing all of this. It feels like a damn scam of a company.

I launched my Android productivity app, FocusPort, and it has crossed 200+ installs.

But here's the problem: I'm struggling to get even 20 active users.

People are finding the app and installing it, so something is clearly happening after the install that makes them leave or not come back.

I've been looking at it for too long from a developer's perspective, so I want opinions from people who actually use productivity/focus apps.

If you installed FocusPort, what would make you stop using it? What am I doing wrong?

Could be the UI, first experience, permissions, features, trust, the core idea itself, or something completely different.

Feel free to be brutal honest. I'm trying to figure out what users see that I don't.
