What are some things you wish your productivity app had?

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting here, and I wanted a little help in building my app. Essentially, I am building an all-in-one personal productivity app which includes kanban boards, checklists, personal belongings tracker, and a routine/habit tracker. I would like you to reply to this post, answering the prompts below: 1. What are some problems you face in life generally regarding time management/productivity/etc? 2. How do existing solutions not solve your problem(s)? 3. (Anything else you want to put in your response) - Keep in mind that this app is for personal use, not for businesses/enterprises. - Also, Please refrain from suggesting to-do list based ideas. (If you still wish to do so, please explain how your suggestion could improve upon existing solutions) Thank you for taking time to answer this post!

Is it worth it building a productivity app?

Hi - I've spent so much time trying to build my productivity app but there's so much competition out there. Although I do enjoy working on my app Dysperse (@dysperse on Instagram), it's been a struggle trying to make it compete with other established personal to-do list applications out there. It does have unique features like widgets and it's completely free but I feel like I have hit a plateau where I don't know what else to do. I'm not really sure if working on it will actually help me. Compared to the rest of the apps out there - is it worth working on it?
