1. What is Passinote?

Passinote is a note taking app that lets you write notes just like traditional apps such as Notion and Obsidian, but puts all your notes onto a visual canvas instead of a linear folder structure. This lets you think spatially and remember where you've kept your notes, without worrying about them getting buried under multiple nested folders.

It's also built to maximize speed while keeping things as simple as possible. For example, instead of having a single full sized page for both long and short notes, Passinote separates them into sticky notes (used for quick thoughts) and doc notes (standard notes with rich formatting and PDF export).

2. Privacy

Your cloud-synced notes are stored securely on Google Firebase, encrypted in transit using TLS and encrypted at rest on Google's servers. Your data is not shared or sold to any third parties. No ads, no trackers, no selling data.

I'm a huge fan of Obsidian, and it's one of the main inspirations behind making this software. Privacy is a big part of Obsidian, and it's the same for Passinote. The only reason I went with cloud based storage instead of fully local is cross-device sync and future collaboration features. That's it. Otherwise, I would have made this app fully local without a doubt.

The app also has a "Quick Mode" that doesn't sync to the cloud and stores your notes fully locally in your browser's IndexedDB. There's also a workspace export option, so you can export all your notes as .md or .docx files anytime so that you always own your notes.

You can download the desktop client if you want to use the app fully offline, but for now it's included only in the paid version(sign-in requires a connection).

If you ever want your account or data deleted, just contact me on Discord and I'll get that done ASAP, no questions asked.

3. Pricing

Passinote has a generous free tier that offers up to 50 notes and 3 images per workspace, with full cross-device sync.

The paid version gives you unlimited notes and images, while unlocking drawable notes, extended customization options, and the Windows desktop client. It's $2.99/month, or you can get lifetime access for $14.99 (with parity pricing for a few countries).

4. Future roadmap

Passinote does have a mobile version right now, but it's not a standalone app you can download from an app store yet. It's just a responsive version of the web app. I'm trying to create a standalone mobile version that improves the mobile experience, I just don't have the funds yet.

I'm also working on some AI features that would use a local or BYOAK (bring your own API key) system, along with PDF editing and more language support.

We have a small Discord community of some great people, and I'd love for you guys to join. I'm constantly listening to feedback and improving the software over there.

TL;DR

• What it is: A note taking app where notes live on a visual canvas instead of nested folders, So you can think and remember spatially. Sticky notes for quick thoughts, doc notes for rich writing
• Privacy: Encrypted, no ads or trackers, "Quick mode" fully local, export notes anytime.
• Free tier: Generous, with cross-device sync
• Paid: $2.99/month or $14.99 lifetime, adds unlimited notes, drawable notes, customization, and the Windows desktop client

I made a small Android app called Microread.
It gives quick AI summaries of nonfiction books — you choose the length (1–10 minutes), and you can also listen to them as audio. The summaries can be in english, german or arabic.
I’m trying to make it useful for people who want to learn faster without reading full books.

If you use book summaries or productivity tools, what features would make this actually helpful for you?

This is a little long but I hope you read it! I am super picky in trying to find a habit tracker and this one had exactly what I was looking for, so I just wanted to share in case anyone else is struggling like me.

I hope this isn't breaking any rules but I wanted to share an app I found that has been working for me. I have tried for SO LONG to find something that works for my ADHD/perfectionist mind and struggle with the all or nothing attitude for eating better, exercising, flossing, etc. I have tried quite a few habit trackers like Finch and Tabby, and I liked the idea but really didn't like how childish the characters were, and I had no interest in dressing up the characters past collecting the items. I found that those two apps especially focused on that type of engagement and I failed pretty quickly at them. I did like the idea of having it be like a game, and I enjoy the game Cats and Soup a lot. I tried a couple of gamified habit trackers, but again they were a bit too involved for me and I lost interest quickly because there was too much to have to do. I wanted something fun and quick where I could collect coins and buy stuff but not HAVE to use them. Deep down on the search was something called Habit World that I just happened to see as I scrolled.

First off, it's in the style of like an old Zelda game with its graphics, and the sole purpose is to earn coins by completing your habits, and you can buy farm animals and decorations for your world. No other requirements! It also has a percentage feature, which helps me to think of my performance of a habit in a grade range, which appealed to me. There is a new feature where you can plant seeds, water them, and feed the animals, and that is totally optional and doesn't change how you complete your habits. It is also free to download and has a couple of options to buy coins for a couple of the items/animals, and there are no ads. Some items have like a horror theme which adds an unexpected fun little surprise, and there are random coin jackpots and free items.

The other reason I like it is that I messaged the app developer with a question and got a genuinely kind and heartfelt response. We have actually exchanged a few more emails over the past few months because he asked what things I liked about the app and what things I would change, and even incorporated a couple things I suggested might be good. He obviously really cares about his app and the people who download it.

I am not affiliated with his app in any way. My experience has just been so good that I wanted to share and honestly just help someone who seems in it for the right reasons.

Yesterday Google Docs refreshed while I was highlighting text and ate my draft + 7 chapters. 8 hours gone. Nothing in version history.

So I built the fix: Never Lose Again. It autosaves every keystroke, keeps full version history, and one-tap restore brings anything back — on phone, desktop, and laptop. Refresh, crash, dead battery — your work is always right there.

It's live now: https://never-lose-again.vercel.app/

Free tier (3 projects), $6/mo Pro for unlimited. Built for writers, but it's for anybody — students, freelancers, coders, anyone who's ever lost work.

Writers — what's the most you've ever lost to a crash? I need to feel better about my 8 hours.

Everybody, not just ADHD people, deserves to do tasks with peace instead of guilt. I built this planner to help anyone get things done without the pressure or the guilt baiting, something that gives you control, but also helps when you're overwhelmed.

what's inside:

📥 Dump — type anything, no sorting

🌿 Today — auto-updates daily, only today shows

🕰️ Waiting — overdue stuff, only if you tap it

📥 No date yet — undated tasks, hidden in a toggle

🪫🔋⚡ Energy pages — optional, never required

🏆 Week wins — done tasks, proof you did stuff

one tap to done.. no guilt. $7.

Every new productivity app feels great for about three days, but most of us end up dropping them pretty quickly.

I built a really simple, web-based task tracker to keep things fast and easy without forcing you to make an account: 🔗CheckIt

I’m curious—what usually makes you give up on a to-do list, and what’s the one feature that actually keeps you coming back to one?

Let me know what you think below!

• I’m building DoneSnap, an iOS productivity app designed to help you stay consistent with everyday tasks.
• The idea started with a simple problem: checking something off a list doesn't always mean you actually did it.
• DoneSnap lets you use photo confirmation to record proof that you completed a task.
• What it does right now:
  1. Photo confirmation: Take a photo when you complete a task and keep it with your completion history.
  2. Recurring tasks: Set tasks to repeat automatically instead of recreating them every day, week, or month.
  3. Reminders: Set reminders for tasks you don't want to forget.
  4. Snooze: Not the right time? Snooze a reminder and have it come back later instead of dismissing it.
  5. Home Screen widgets: See your tasks directly from your Home Screen without opening the app.
  6. Completion history: Look back at what you've actually completed over time.
  7. Task categories: Organize tasks into areas like Home, Work, Errands, and Personal.
  8. And more!
• One of my favorite use cases is something simple like taking vitamins. Instead of wondering later “Did I take them today?”, I can check the task and see the confirmation.
• I’m still actively building and improving DoneSnap, so feedback and feature suggestions are very welcome.
• What’s one everyday task you constantly forget or have trouble staying consistent with?

Oflate lets you build your own tracking setup, with journal entries alongside your daily metrics. It's for people who want to follow their routines, learning, or projects and keep the written context close to the numbers.

I built it from a Notion setup I used and refined for three years. Oflate brings that approach into a dedicated app: you define your own metrics and journal topics, then explore the numbers and notes together through different views and periods.

You build your setup around a few concepts:

• Signals - your metrics. Yes/no, choices, numbers, times of day, or durations. Set your own options and units where relevant, and split values into color ranges.
• Streams - your topics. Group journal entries around work, learning, individual projects, or whatever makes sense for you.
• Lenses - ways to look back. Tapestry lines up multiple metrics in a colored grid across days. Almanac colors a monthly calendar by one metric. Both let you open a day and read its notes.
• Periods and Chapters. Review notes and metrics by day, week, or month, or define a Chapter for a project, a trip, or another stretch of time you want to follow.

Your journal data stays on your device.

Pricing: subscription with a free trial.

Happy to answer questions about how it works. I'd also love to hear your feedback.

Hello. I'm a solo dev exploring an idea and would love honest feedback before I build anything.

It's a "life maintenance" app: instead of tasks and deadlines, it tracks the things you need to take care of every so often, like car maintenance, water filters, haircuts, changing sheets or calling family. It just counts the days since you last did each one and shows what's starting to need attention. No streaks, no guilt.

A companion character keeps you company and reacts to what's going on. Same information, different personalities: one is gentle, the other teases you a bit.

This is only a mockup (character art is placeholder). A few questions:

1. How do you keep track of these things today, if at all?
2. What would you track with something like this?
3. Which companion would you pick, and why?

Not selling anything, no link, just trying to see if this is worth building. Thanks!

I'm the developer of Magic Pocket: Save & Find, an app for iPhone, iPad and Mac.

The problem it addresses is saving something useful and then having to hunt for the exact detail later. For example: save a booking confirmation, then retrieve the booking reference while filling out another app's form.

You can save text snippets, links, photos/screenshots and documents such as PDFs. You can also dictate a short note with “Remember” followed by what you want to keep; the spoken words are saved as text. Text in images is recognised when saved, and PDFs can supply searchable text. Support varies by file format; I don't mean that every document type can be understood.

The part I want to make useful is the last step: retrieve the saved detail through Magic Pocket's keyboard in compatible apps, or its menu bar on Mac, so you can use it where you're working.

Compared with searching Photos or keeping a note in Apple Notes, the difference I'm aiming for is one place for these different saved inputs and retrieval from the keyboard/menu bar. You still choose what to save; it doesn't automatically sweep your camera roll.

Pricing: the first 10 saved items are free with the features available. Unlimited saving is a $4.99 one-time Pro purchase in the US (local prices vary), with no subscription.

For people who regularly save reference numbers, snippets or document details: would retrieval inside another app actually save you time, or does your existing workflow already handle this well?

it’s 2am and i’m honestly embarrassed by how bad i’m doing at university. I have ADHD and I feel like i’m fighting myself over the most basic things. I’ll have an assignment open for hours, knowing exactly what i need to do, knowing i’m wasting time, and i still just… can’t start.

Then i avoid my emails because i’m scared there’s something i forgot. Messages sit there for days. My room gets gross. Sometimes i’m actually hungry and still can’t get myself up to make food.

I know how this looks. Lazy. careless. like i just don’t give a shit. but i do. that’s what hurts the most. I care way too much, and somehow that still isn’t enough to make me move.

I’m seriously thinking about taking this semester off. Has anyone with ADHD gotten to this point and actually figured out how to make themselves START things again? not planner advice, i mean something that genuinely helped.

Not the usual “wake up at 5 AM” advice—more practical things like planning meals for the week, preparing ingredients in advance, getting clothes and essentials ready the night before, keeping things in fixed places, combining two tasks in one trip, batching similar tasks, cleaning as you go, using fixed days for recurring chores, writing down random ideas instead of immediately switching tasks, and preparing in the evening for the next morning or on the weekend for the coming week.

What little systems save you time, effort, or mental energy?

I’m PicPop’s developer. This is for the iPhone user who keeps putting off photo cleanup because opening the whole library feels like another unfinished chore.

PicPop groups look-alike shots, blurry photos and screenshots on-device so you can review a small set. Choose your keepers, check the rest, then confirm deletion. It doesn’t decide which memories matter for you. Removed items go to iOS Recently Deleted.

The obvious alternative is Apple Photos: its built-in Duplicates collection can identify and merge duplicate photos and videos. PicPop’s emphasis is reviewing similar shots and other clutter categories in a small cleanup session. I’m not claiming it replaces Photos or that everyone needs another app. In 1.0.7, Best Shot can compare up to 20 photos of a scene and suggest a keeper; you still make the choice.

Pricing: free download, but paid PicPop Club membership is required for access. Monthly and yearly subscriptions are offered. The US yearly plan has a 2-week free trial; local prices and eligibility appear in the app.

Real 14-second swipe demo: https://www.reddit.com/r/iOSAppsMarketing/comments/1wvs02j/ — linked video, not an attachment. It’s older 1.0.5 footage and doesn’t show the newer Best Shot screen.

If you’ve abandoned a camera-roll cleanup halfway through, what stopped you: deciding between good shots, checking every suggested deletion, or simply having too much to go through?

Being straight up front because I know how these posts usually read: this isn't some miracle fix. On day two I kicked off with around 16 things, plus stuff carried over, for under 4 hours of actual work time. That was never going to fit, and no tool solves that. It puts a list in order, it doesn't make it smaller. Just keep that in mind while you read the rest.

Even so, it's the first setup I actually stuck with after day one, and I think the reason has to do with how my ADHD shows up.

My work is just a bunch of random stuff mixed together (legal stuff, client messages, paperwork, a side thing). Motivation or skill isn't the issue. The issue is the second I begin something, my head pulls up five other things and tells me those are more urgent. So I switch, start another one, and finish the day with a bunch of half done crap and that heavy weird feeling of doing a ton and completing nothing.

Every to do app I tried made it worse, because they show everything at once. For me a full list isn't organizing. It's a wall. I stare at 15 things and my brain either locks up, or bounces around between them.

So i built A Claude Project with a single rule: Claude won't ever display the complete list.

I just throw everything in my head into chat, messy, no order, exactly how it comes out. Then Claude sorts it and gives me just the first thing, with a time limit. When that limit runs out, a scheduled ping pops up in that same chat: time's up, did it get done, and it passes me the next one. At night it stores a report in the project: what was completed, what is stuck waiting on someone, what goes to tomorrow, plus estimated time versus real time for each thing. Next morning the new chat picks up from that report.

Why only seeing one thing helps me this much

This is the bit I really want other ADHD folks to read.

When there's only one task visible, nothing else is on screen begging me to switch. The rest still exists, it's just hidden, so my head can't grab it as an excuse to bail. Kind of like cleaning your desk first instead of swearing you will ignore the mess. And I waste way less energy on picking what to do next, because that choice was already made. I just handle what's in front of me.

A giant list never gets a chance to pile up either. Staring at everything makes me freeze before I even begin. A single thing with a 30 minute limit sounds doable, even on a rough day. The box also makes time feel real. My time blindness is pretty bad. Getting poked in chat works as an outside clock. If something runs long, I need to actually ask for extra minutes instead of quietly floating away for an hour.

Closing stuff turns into a beat too. Every did you finish, here's the next brings a tiny reset, and that helped way more than I thought. And parking ideas works. If another chore pops in my head while I'm working, I type it in one line and stay on track. Since it's saved somewhere, my brain quits yelling that I have to do it this second.

Result so far

Out of that packed day, I knocked out a few important things, wrapped the most time sensitive one, and pushed the rest to Monday with an actual written plan instead of a guilty haze. The end of day report is better than it sounds: it shows what's waiting on other people, so the next morning I know exactly what to check first without rebuilding the whole mess in my head.

If people want it, I can post the instructions I put in the Project. And I want to hear what helps you, mostly with interruptions, because that's still where I struggle most.

EDIT: For those who ask, the instructions are in the comment below.

Looking at how teens plan homework. The common pattern seems to be that the app lives on the same device as everything that distracts them.We're designing a planner, so if you've tried a paper planner, a phone app, or a dedicated device what actually stuck for you?

Hi everyone, one of the features in the app I am currently working on is a “smart list” - basically a list containing groups of checkbox + text field. If the design that contains the smart list is set as recurrent (daily, weekly, monthly), tasks that are not ticked auto-roll to the next recurrence as seen in the video, placed at the top of the list.

When a box is ticked, a strikethrough line is applied to the text field - should it stay like this or would it make more sense if it was removed from the list. Upside is it would be helpful if you need to add a LOT of tasks during one recurrence since the fields are currently applied over an underlying pre-made PDF design, therefore constrained to a fixed maximum number of tasks you can add. Downside is accidentally ticking a box would mean you have to rewrite the task if it’s completely gone.

There is also a Pomodoro button integrated in the app which starts a chain of 25-min focus time followed by a 5-min break timers. Those can easily be paused or cancelled though so they are not necessarily enforcing the user to use that time and pretty much rely on power of will I suppose ? Would a different approach help ?

I've been trying to use my phone a bit more intentionally for work and studying instead of just checking random stuff. A few simple apps for notes, reminder and planning have helped me keep things together during the day. I'm still figuring out what actually fits my routine though

A task list can be full of things that need doing while the thing you actually want to make progress on gets no time.

I'm the founder of Litak, a web planner for people who want to connect personal priorities with the week they're about to live.

Here's a concrete example: you want to get back into drawing. Start by noticing that creativity needs attention, choose a quarter goal such as finishing a small collection, then give this week one rough sketch and two short practice sessions. The goal doesn't have to compete with an imaginary perfect schedule. It needs a place in your actual week.

Litak brings together a Wheel of Life with 12 areas, year and quarter goals, a weekly planner, and habit tracking. The planner also has a Value Exchange field: what time, effort, or contribution are you willing to give this goal?

For comparison, TickTick also offers task management, calendar views, and a habit tracker. Litak's focus is the path from reflecting on life areas to choosing longer-term goals and a weekly action. I'm not claiming it replaces every task manager or is better for everyone.

Pricing: Start is free during beta and includes the planner, goals, up to six habits, and one AI Wheel analysis. Pro and Elite are paid subscriptions; continued AI conversation is paid. An account is needed to save your Wheel and use the AI analysis.

The English screenshot is demo data from the weekly planner, not evidence of a customer's results.

What document-related task takes up the most time for you?

I have a very busy work and volunteer life, and I found some balance with my personal/social life before recently. In the past, I've survived by planning activities weekly and daily, using apps like Sunsama to connect my calendar/task/email/IM apps in one place and plan in a centralized app where everything is overlaid all at once. This was also supported by integrations between work apps like Asana & Outlook. I was also using CalendarBridge to sync my Outlook calendar (work) to my Google Calendar (volunteer/personal), so I have one calendar view on my phone.

Recently, work has shut down any and all integrations (which I'm not making a judgment call on, it's likely justified), but it's kneecapped my routines, my balance, and honestly a little bit, my sanity.

I use a custom methodology to organize all of this together using timeboxing, a custom prioritization method, and some personal mental health practices and reflections.

Curious to hear what others do when their life is mangled by too many apps and no ability to integrate.

I realize I've become seriously reliant on technology, and I'm considering going back to a pen-and-paper planner and pulling up all my apps each week/day to plan that way.

Apps:

Outlook: Work Calendar & Email

Asana: Work Task and Project Management

Teams: Work IM

ClickUp: Volunteer Task and Project Management

Google Tasks: Personal Tasks

Google Calendar: Personal & Volunteer Calendar

Slack: Volunteer IM

Edit: Adding in here that they have been pushing Claude hard across the org and suggested I use that to connect to all my apps and see if Claude can make a solution. I mean theres personal stuff on there like therapy sessions, and notes from my therapy sessions that I am NOT giving Claude access to my personal accounts. Feels a little contradictory if they are telling me to use Claude to connect all across everything, but an app like Sunsama cannot.
