Congrats on launching! I’m curious - do you find people actually power down their laptops? I generally slam the lid shut and shove it in my bag.

Yes I do this every day. Just because I'm always working on network drives and if I just close down the lid, the favourites in my Finder will disappear every now and then. When shutting down the laptop completely I eliminate this effect.

I shut down my laptop.

App will notify on sleep as well i.e. when you close the laptop lid.

Dev here. Thanks.

If I’ve closed the lid, isn’t it already too late to be useful?

You close the lid.. . You get the email.... If the task was really important... You open the lid again ...

And trust me one will open the lid when one sees their manager's face in front or may be some situation of losing money or etc

For all the comments asking about powering off.

I turn my Mac off like 2x annually.

Nobody I know shuts down...

Same.

I can't remember the last time I purposely shut down my MacBook without a reason (Finder locks up or some other Catalina bug)

Can you share where my to-do list data is stored? In your cloud or locally on my machine and you never see it. Thanks! The idea is interesting overall.

Its all local. No cloud storage. The only time your tasks text leave your system is when sending email and at that time too it is never stored.

Even i have not configured any sort storage or database for this application. Just one email service in cloud.
