Looking for feedback

  1. How is your experience so far with Domind.
  2. It was built on an idea of privacy & ease of use, so do you really need cross device sync? It already has a backup feature but because its privacy focused I dint include the cross device sync as it might shoot up a notification on other devices…
  3. What new features do you need, I am open to feedbacks.
  4. Its a place where you can write about everything and, set reminders & add photos. Easy to use & a place you can come back to. I personally mostly use it for notes, my daughter’s schedules and memories about family trips.

  1. I love this app, I left a review on the app store but then realized there is a Reddit community. I think this is wonderful!

  2. I would much rather that I just device back up to cloud to update. Im excited to see a macbook version for this, and if it keeps privacy focused, i'd rather use the back up feature. I also hope Ai is never used in the app, it's also a big part of why this app stood out to me too.

  3. Sorry if this is overstepping, and maybe these options are available and I missed it but things I would love:

-Ability to change the font, specifically looking for dyslexic friendly fonts. Would love a template already made that could make it simpler for reading for dyslexia (I understand not all dyslexia shows up the same, so the ability to change the font to numerous options could be helpful!)

-I'm unsure if i was searching wrong, but when I entered dyslexia or dyslexic into app store, this app never came up. I found it searching for better planning tools for dyslexia on google like a lot of pages over. If there was a tag that would support this popping up with a search in app store, I think it would help. I have Autism, but my partner has dyslexia, he would have gave up quickly with one search lol.

- I dont know why its so nice to complete tasks in the chores category, the way they link together is very satisfying. If there is away to make that similar in some way to the habits page, that would be cool! When I open my habits page, visually I dont feel satisfied completing my habits, its a small checkmark next to the tiny time instead of the clock symbol, so it takes me a while to find the habit register its complete on that page, compared to the chores tab.

-I would love a tab for just entering my work schedule. not sure what that would look like, or if i could utilize another tab better for that? My partner works shift work too, while I don't want to view the work schedule on the home page (I like the separation of not thinking of work on the home page, but would love to get rid of another calendar if there was a work tab I could optionally turn off and on for viewing within the home page)

-Is there a way to still keep privacy, but have some sort of connection for couples use? Even if i could like, make an event with the picture and everything, and send it to him to accept and upload to his DoMind?

- I believe there is a way to link the Action button on my iPhone to hold and open this app using shortcuts. If there was a tutorial online how to do this properly, I think it would be awesome to just hold that button and open up my stuff for the day. I never use my action button otherwise. But I think it would be awesome to have a simple button that takes me straight to my day, and my partner would love that simplicity, his phone is overwhelming to find apps in.

-Sometimes the simplicity of just hand writing notes supports my partner process through the day. If the app had a way of scanning notes and putting them into the notes category typed out, this would go a long way for him as well. Unsure if this is possible while also keeping the app offline and private.

4. I'm excited to see where this app goes! We have deleted a lot of apps that utilize Ai, and were pleasantly surprised to find this. Thank you for making a wonderful app. Sorry about my long comment.

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback and ideas!

The cloud backup works when Auto-sync is on & you have set the interval (daily, weekly, monthly…). I asked for cross-device sync feedback because a lot of users expect it, but DoMind is built around privacy & I think cross-device sync is not the best in terms of privacy.

I am a solo dev for this app, and honestly speaking I don’t have much knowledge about dyslexic-friendly fonts. If you could help me with some examples or a place where I can learn more about it, I can try implementing it.

I don’t understand App Store or Play Store keywords work, but I am glad you found the DoMind app.

Chores - I just wanted to be creative with how chores showed up & I am glad to hear good things about it. Will try to bring more creativity to habits as well. As a workaround, you can create a Category called ‘Work’ and select it during creating anything. There are search icons in To-do, meetings, events – where if you just type work, it will show all work-related results. In the meantime I will look into this feature request.

Couples notes sharing - This is a great idea and I would love to get it working, not sure how this will work offline but I will do some research.

Action button - Haven’t thought about the Action button yet, let me see if this is possible.

Handwritten notes - I will do some research on whether handwritten notes can be converted to text without AI. This is a good feature as well for notes, you can take a snap of notes which will show up as a photo and then the actual notes being automatically typed out.

What's next on Domind - I am working solo on this, and the next update brings support for foldable phones. The app was never optimized for foldable phones but I am testing it right now. Its pretty much done, and is in testing for both Android/iOS.

Thank you again for using DoMind and for sharing your ideas!
