There's a lot of to-do list apps, reminders, calendars etc out there advertised towards us to help us do things like break down large tasks into meaningful chunks and focus on what we need to do each day, but I want to hear from the community what do you guys think is the best so let's start a thread

Goblin tool. You give it a task you want to do and it breaks it down into smaller tasks/steps which you can keep breaking down. Also has a tone rewording tool and a tool for checking if you are taking something in the wrong tone. Super helpful for people with ADHD and Autism.

Oh, that looks really promising. But I'm extremely hesitant to use something like this if it can't be done 100% local and offline

Edit: Maybe I'll use it just for the most basic, non-personal stuff, like cleaning my room. Actually yeah, I think that's okay

They have an app for $0.99, but I believe it still needs connection for all the back end task generation and stuff. Hopefully it works for you as another tool for the tool box!

What it spits out from just the words clean room is pretty damn great, more than enough to convince me. And while I'm generally very careful with AI, I think in this instance it's best for me to swallow my damn pride, and accept the help it can give me.

The About section does mention the wish to move this to open source solutions, which I'd very much love to see. I'm looking forward to whenever that can happen.
