beautiful and thoughtful combination of features using tried-and-true technology. a godsend for users struggling with procrastination, challenges with executive function, ADHD, neurodiversity and other mental challenges PROS: - simple and *elegant* UX, informative and process driven for user ACTION - a pleasure on the eyes, unified design elements and motion effects - intuitive and easy to understand, gradual learning curve with a complex combination of must-have use cases, carefully presented - fave is front-and-center "what are you working on right now" single-task, big-bullet thing you need to accomplish TODAY. Then immediately add sub-tasks to help you break it down. PERFECT! - add a pomodoro timer and customize it to your usual working style, with ease - add estimated time-to-complete for tasks and sub-tasks with ease CONS - lack of Apple Calendar integration. unfortunately it's a non-starter and a dealbreaker. having watched so many other apps in this space skip it or backlog it, I have Feedback-ed to Apple to make it simpler to develop and maintain, and I have high hopes that those guys will rework and do up a modern web api to help out.

Calendly
I have used calendly in my professional enterprise and my personal consulting life. It is the gold standard for request-based (attendee) meeting bookings. The free version an get you quite far, and the paid versions offer workflows that are best for business.

AdGuard Pro
my gl.inet portable mobile-tethered wifi hotspot and router includes AdGuard in its stack. Finally, at the network level, I can block the likes of G***le and others. AdGuard is a turnkey platform that blocks most of the ad networks and trackers by default. SOLID FIVE STARS.

Shadow
Imagine having a journalist-scholar as your note-taker. What would your meeting minutes look like? They're summary and bulleted statements that speak about what you said in an accurate, eloquent and complete way. Shadow nails it! "Templates" feature tells Shadow what things to listen for, for specific types of meetings like 1:1, lead generation, and more. AMAZING first public launch! Congrats, Jay and team! Can't wait to see what's up next!
