So, I have an update of the app coming out soon. (Anyone who’s been having trouble with the to-do list, this will hopefully fix it once and for all.) With this update, I’ll have the ability to add some stuff.
Here’s what I can add: random 5, 10, and 20-minute challenges; more challenges by room.
Here’s what I can’t add right now (because the amount of coding necessary would put off work on the Android version for a really really long time): rooms to the room selection dial; the ability to add your own custom challenges or items from your to-do list into the challenges; a 45/15 timer. I already know people have asked for them, but it’s not possible to include these in the next update, which we’re trying to get out as quickly as possible to address the to-do and timer bugs.
So, that said: throw some ideas at me for more 5, 10, and 20-minute challenges and challenges by room. I can’t promise I’ll include them all, but it’ll give me a good place to start.
ETA: I can’t do anything with timers, notifications, reminders, etc. right now. Just the challenges.
So reply to, answer, or reblog this post with suggestions (please don’t send them as an ask — I’d like to keep it all in one place). Ideas?

Time to deal with your junk drawer: throw away what needs to be thrown; wipe the drawer with a wet cloth and classify the rest with boxes and separators. Now you’ll be able to find the spare batteries. (20? 10? idk)
