Many productivity tools are over-engineered, leading to wasted time and frustration for users.

Create a suite of minimal, purpose-built apps for common productivity tasks—note-taking, task management, time tracking.

Charge users a small subscription fee for access to all tools.

Start with a single app focused on one core task (e.g., note-taking).

The biggest risk is competing with established productivity suites.
