Hi Product Hunt community! 🚀 I’m Pliman, the founder of PickTime. As builders and creators, we’ve all been there: a massive, daunting task is on your plate, you feel overwhelmed, **task paralysis** kicks in, and you end up scrolling social media while feeling deeply guilty. Or worse, you try to build a long-term habit (like learning to code or working out), but it gets flattened into scattered, soulless to-dos that eventually fail. Traditional to-do apps often feel like a digital whip, punishing you with long lists and red overdue badges. That’s why we built **PickTime**—not just to manage your time, but to actively support your **execution**. **Here is how PickTime changes the game:** - **Brain Dump to MVA:** Dump your messy thoughts or voice memos. We don't just give you a checklist; we visualize the path and highlight a one-sentence **Minimal Viable Action (MVA)** to help you initiate momentum without cognitive load. - **Body Doubling (Companion Mode):** Need that "someone working alongside me" feeling? Turn on companion mode. The AI works, listens, and takes notes with you in real-time, pulling you back to the mainline when you get distracted. - **White-Box Local Assistance:** For tedious computer chores (file sorting, form filling), connect your local client. The AI acts like an open-source co-pilot, showing you exactly _what_ it's doing and _why_, ensuring total privacy and control. - **No-Shame Rescheduling:** Life happens. Missed a time block? Reset with one click without any guilt or shaming. PickTime learns from your weekly reviews and adapts its insights into your default strategy, becoming a personal coach that truly understands your rhythm. We are launching our **Web App** today, and the **iOS App** is coming to the App Store next week! We would love to hear your raw feedback, feature requests, or your own stories of battling procrastination. What is the one task you are paralyzing on today? Let's smash it together! 🛠️

Congrats! How does PickTime determine the right MVA when the brain dump contains multiple competing priorities?

@crystalmei Thank you so much! That strikes right at the heart of the problem.

PickTime handles competing priorities by avoiding rigid rules and focusing on your specific context. The AI filters through the noise and determines the right MVA based on three core pillars:

User Habits & State: It learns your personal rhythm and energy levels. If it’s a "low-energy day," it automatically scales down the MVA to match your capacity.
Deep User Context: Instead of giving generic answers, the AI acts like a personal coach that knows your past tasks, execution patterns, goals, and feedback.
Task Characteristics: It maps out the inherent friction of the task. It then isolates the single micro-step with the lowest activation energy—something so small your brain won't fight it.

Our goal isn't to build a perfect master plan, but to find the easiest entry point to help you build momentum right now!
