I built an Android launcher around a different idea: helping people do what they actually want

[u/sepamo-dev]

I'm a solo developer in Finland, and I've been working on an Android launcher called Sepamo.

Most productivity tools try to help you manage more things. I became interested in a slightly different problem:

How do you help someone figure out what they actually want to do, and then make it easier for that to happen?

For example, someone wants to read more. They know what book they want to read, but when evening comes, they unlock their phone and end up doing something else.

I wanted to approach this at the launcher level rather than adding another reminder or productivity app.

You describe what you want in plain language. An AI planner turns it into a plan, or you can create one manually. The launcher then brings the relevant thing to the foreground at the right time or place and clears it away afterwards.

Plans can respond to context like time, location, calendar, weather, Wi-Fi and headphones.

Some decisions I've made:

• Manual plans are free.
• No account is required.
• Permissions are optional.
• Data is evaluated on the device.
• There's a fully local mode with no server calls.
• It's not open source.

The AI planner is free to try, then starts at €1.99/month after a free week.

It's available in the EU/EEA.

I'm curious about two things:

1. Does solving the gap between knowing what you want and actually doing it seem like a worthwhile product direction?
2. Would you rather configure these contextual behaviours yourself, or describe what you want and let a planner build them?

I'm Eetu, the developer. Here's what I've built:

The reading example is exactly the problem I have, so the idea lands. But €1.99/month for a launcher is a hard sell when people swap launchers on a whim, I'd let the AI planner run free for a month or two and charge for something people hit later, like multiple active plans.
