Real question, because it's the reason Impetus exists.
I have ADHD. Every to-do app I ever tried worked great for two weeks, then I had one bad day and came back to a wall of red overdue badges and a dead streak. So I deleted it. Repeat with the next app, for years.
I'm launching Impetus here tomorrow. It's the anti-guilt version: nothing turns red, streaks don't exist, and coming back after a bad week is treated as normal instead of failure.
But I want to hear your version. Which app made you feel the worst when life happened? And what would an app have to do to make restarting feel safe instead of shameful? I'm reading everything and the best answers are genuinely going to shape what I build next.
