Hey Product Hunt! Edu here, solo dev behind Dimmly and Trovelo (the private trip planner you might have seen here before).
I built Dimmly because I kept bouncing between apps that were either too minimal to be useful or too complex to actually stick with. I wanted something in between β gesture-first, no account, no subscription, and list types that actually match how people think.
Here's what makes it different from every other task app out there:
5 list types that cover your whole day:
- List β your classic task list, nothing fancy, just works
- Ranked β numbered list so you can prioritize what actually matters today
- Sum β you add an amount to each item and it shows a running total at the bottom. Perfect for tracking trip expenses, splitting costs, or budgeting on the go
- Score β a live scoreboard for game night. Each player racks up points and the list auto sorts by who's winning. My friends use this every week
- Grocery β shopping mode where you set how many of each item you need and swipe to cross them off as you go
Habits built into every task:
No separate habits section. You set how many times per day you want to complete something β drink water 4x, take vitamins 2x β and dot indicators on the card fill in as you go. Resets every day automatically.
Other things I'm proud of:
- Paste & go β copy any list from any LLM, Notes, or anywhere and it becomes a Dimmly list instantly
- Big Notes and Checklists inside any task
- 25 color palettes per list or create your own β it's like having a post-it system where each context has its own color
- iCloud sync across iPhone and Mac
- CSV import and export
- Home screen widgets
- No account required, nothing goes to a server
Pricing that doesn't feel gross:
Free for 5 fully featured lists β alarms, streaks, widgets, all of it included. No feature gating. Unlimited lists for a one-time $6.99. Pay once, yours forever across iPhone and Mac.
Would love honest feedback β what's missing, what feels off, what you'd want next. I read everything and it genuinely shapes what gets built. Happy to answer anything π

The one-time $6.99 price with no account required is a refreshing move, and the paste-any-text-into-list feature sounds genuinely useful instead of gimmicky.
@abe_shaΒ Thank you! Those two were non-negotiable from the start honestly. The subscription model just doesn't make sense for a tool this personal, and the paste feature came from my own frustration of having ChatGPT generate a perfect list and then having to type it all over again. Glad it lands as useful rather than gimmicky, that was the goal π
