Nice app, clear presentation. Congrats on the launch.

However, I’m quite surprised this to appear on the top page of HN. I’ll be upfront that I’m asking this with a bit of envy, but: What is special about this app compared to the hundreds of to-do apps being released every day?

> copying over commitments I’d already recorded was labor-intensive, and assigning a time to every item made the plan feel rigid.

Sometimes the friction is the point. It forces you to think about what is actually a priority and what is cruft.

That said, this is a cute idea. If removing the friction helps you make a plan and stick to it roll with it.

Hey Jarvis, move my 2pm to 10am. Proceed to wait 10s for extremely compute hungry system to do something that you could have done almost instantly by understanding how to use your device and or having any desire to move your fingers. Next.

What if you’re otherwise occupied, e.g. driving?

You find yourself rejiggering your personal calendar very often while driving?

Live a little. Try to imagine the lives beyond yours. It is really fascinating once you internalise how unique your circumstances are, and how the same is true for others.

I guess I could try taking up more hobbies while driving my car.

Siri has helped me with my clinical ADHD’s executive function failure by allowing me to create todo lists and appointments before the dopamine drops or I am distracted.

So yes, there is reasons.

If I move an appointment to the morning, do the untimed tasks around it move too, or stay put?

There's a todo app I'm working on that is meant to mirror the status of an existing kanban board using the api integration from kanboard. (So you can self host it all). Kanboard acts as the project flow, and the ios app sync adds ios 'tasks' and calendar sync. I thought it would be easier than it is to finish. A Kanboard based life is a pretty good one though.
