Who It's For

For Professionals and neurodivergent users (e.g., ADHD) who experience 'productivity guilt' from traditional apps and need flexible, non-punitive scheduling.

Feature List

✓ Auto-rolling tasks (overdue tasks silently move to today without red 'overdue' warnings) ✓ Split-screen or tabbed UI strictly separating 'Routines/Habits' from 'Action Items/Tasks' ✓ Forward-looking planner view (see tomorrow/next week easily) ✓ Forgiving streaks (e.g., 'completed 5/7 days this week' instead of 'lost a 40-day streak')
