hey .. am haider, solo dev .. i built PopTask because every to-do app made me fill out a form for a 2-second thought .. title, date, time, repeat, reminder .. so i'd lose it or not bother so i made the opposite: you type the mess the way you'd say it ("gym mon wed fri 6am") and it becomes a real scheduled task in about 3 seconds, no forms .. it runs on-device (private, offline, 9 languages), lives in the mac menu bar and now on iphone + ipad too i built it for myself first, people made it stick, now it's my full-time focus .. would love your feedback, throw your messiest input at it and tell me where it breaks
PopTask has great potential! A few improvements could make it even better. I'd love to share my feedback and suggestions. WhatsApp: https://wa.me/447307349530 Telegram: t.me/rforrank
The "no forms, just type the mess" approach is exactly right for capture-in-the-moment — we see the same failure mode building Unstuck for ADHD users: the 2-second thought dies during the 30-second form-fill, so people stop bothering and the app goes unused. On-device parsing is a smart call too since it kills the "why does a todo app need my data" hesitation that adds friction at the exact moment someone's trying to capture something fast. Does the NLP handle vague/incomplete input gracefully (e.g. just "call mom" with no time), or does it need a time anchor to parse correctly?
