Hey Product Hunt, Joel here. Sukima started because I was drowning. Toddler dad, day job, side projects, and a brain that wouldn't quiet down at night. I tried Things, Todoist, Notion, Apple Reminders, paper notebooks, even Bullet Journaling. Every system died within two weeks. Always for the same reason: they all asked me to organize first. The thing is, when you're overwhelmed, you can't organize. That's the whole problem. So I built the version of an app I actually needed. You dump everything (voice works great for the chaotic stream-of-consciousness mornings), and Sukima's AI does the categorizing, prioritizing, and step-breakdown. Then when you have 15 minutes between meetings, it picks one thing for you. No friction. No setup ritual. What's here today: - Voice or text brain dumps - AI sorts into tasks, projects, goals, ideas - Auto-generated next steps for each item - "What Now?" coach picks one thing based on your time, energy, location - AI daily planning each morning - Home Screen widget and Control Center tile (just shipped) What's not here yet: Android, web, team features, calendar two-way sync. iPhone only. It's free to try (15 AI actions/month). Pro is $9.99/mo or $79.99/year with a 3-day trial. I'm here all day. Ask me anything: build process, business model, why the paywall is where it is, why I named it a Japanese word almost nobody can pronounce on the first try. Thanks for taking a look.

Most productivity apps fail because they ask you to organize first. What would invert that?

Every productivity app I've used (Things, Todoist, Notion, Reminders, paper, Bullet Journal) has the same first step: build a system. Set up your areas, projects, tags, contexts, priorities. Get organized.

But the people who most need a productivity app are the ones who can't organize. That's why they need the app. It's a chicken-and-egg problem nobody seems to talk about.
