Still open

• Exact free tier limitations (number of tasks? transcriptions? time limit?)
• Which frontier AI model for cloud tier (Claude, GPT-4o, other?)
• App store submission timeline and requirements for Android/iOS
• Sensory preference persistence ("sensory cookies") — save user's baseline motion/contrast/typography settings across sessions. MVP or v2?
• Emotionally adaptive UI (detect frustration/fatigue, auto-simplify interface) — v2+ feature, but worth architecting for early
• Mac App Store sandboxing compatibility with Tauri — needs hands-on testing
• Access to Work approval process for specific software products — exact requirements TBD
• Search volume data for "ADHD desktop app", "ADHD app for Windows" etc. — validate with Ahrefs/SEMrush before committing to SEO strategy
• Tiimo's B2B pricing (not publicly available) — competitive intelligence via test enquiry
• Visual timeline implementation — time blocks, Gantt-style, or simpler countdown view? Validate with beta testers.
• Smartwatch integration for haptic nudges — Tauri v2 wearable support? Or companion app?
• Low-fi body doubling: would showing anonymised user count ("3 others in deep work") require any server component? Could use iroh peer count from paired devices, but broader anonymous count needs a lightweight coordination mechanism.
• Start/shutdown ritual UX: how prescriptive should the morning triage be? Fully AI-driven or user-guided? Beta test both approaches.
• cr-sqlite development pace risk: monitor vlcn.io activity. If stalled, migrate to Automerge + SQLite BLOB storage (networking layer unchanged).
