Really appreciate the feedback. Can I ask what platform you'd be interested in using the software on?
I'm 100% with you on e-waste -- I hate that we throw out so much of our tech so quickly. (I used my 2016 iPhone SE as my main phone until last year haha.) My plan is to document as much of this thing as I can, including open-sourcing most (all?) of it. I've started small with open sourcing the embedded scheduler:

FWIW I focused on the Mac to begin with because it's what I use and love, and this thing took long enough to make even with that constraint.
