quick thought on launch day, and a genuine question for this room
every to-do app fights over features .. tags, projects, dependencies, AI everything. but i think the real reason we abandon them sits way earlier: the 3 seconds between "i just remembered something" and it actually being saved.
that gap is where thoughts die .. you open the app, there's a form, a date picker, a dropdown, and by the time you're done you've half-forgotten why you opened it .. so you dump it in apple notes with a "sort later" that never comes, sound familiar?
On-device is being read as a privacy checkbox, but for a to-do app it's bigger than that. A task list is a running log of everything you haven't done yet — half-formed, "mtng wth boss about the thing" — which is about as intimate as personal data gets. Keeping it on the device isn't a feature, it's the only respectful default. Good that you led with it. Congrats on the launch

@dai_sheen you framed that better than i did honestly .. thank you mann 🙌🏽
The "3 seconds between remembering and it being saved" framing is exactly right. Running a few businesses at once, that gap is where I lose the most - by the time a task app makes me pick a date and project, the thought's already gone. Congrats on going universal with this launch.

@stacywycof83995 glad it rang true stacy 🙌🏽
@lilhadi It really did — that gap between having a thought and it actually being captured is where I lose the most time running a few businesses at once. Congrats again on the launch, going to give it a real try this week.
