Phase 9 of the rebrand cascade. Sweep covers everything the Phase 8
frontend pass deliberately skipped: docs/, root markdown, scripts,
Cargo.toml descriptions, code comments that survived earlier
word-boundary sed, plus a handful of identifiers caught on the final
verify pass.
transcription-app changes:
- README.md, HANDOVER.md, KNOWN-ISSUES.md, run.sh — magnotia/Magnotia
-> lumotia/Lumotia.
- docs/ — sweep across all subdirs except docs/handovers/ (preserved
as immutable audit trail). Includes architecture-map references
to magnotia_core::*, magnotia_storage::*, etc. now pointing at
lumotia_*; dev-setup.md tracing output examples (lumotia_startup
target); brief/ + superpowers/ + issues/ + whisper-ecosystem/ +
audit/.
- Cargo.toml descriptions on 9 crates (core, audio, cloud-providers,
hotkey, llm, mcp, plus referenced others).
- crates/core/src/{error,hardware,recommendation,paths}.rs +
crates/audio/src/wav.rs + crates/llm/src/model_manager.rs +
crates/cloud-providers/src/keystore.rs + crates/mcp/src/lib.rs —
doc comments and a model-manager user-agent string.
- Caught on final pass: BroadcastChannel("magnotia_task_sync") -> ...
("lumotia_task_sync"); magnotia_locale i18n localStorage key
renamed + migration shim added; CSS keyframe names
magnotiaPulse / magnotiaBar / magnotiaFade renamed in the design-
system kit; magnotia_viewer_item / magnotia_viewer_mode handoff
keys renamed in HistoryPage + viewer/+page.svelte; src/assets/
wordmark.svg text.
- src-tauri/src/lib.rs comment cleanup ("magnotia era" was sed'd
to "lumotia era" earlier — restored).
Preserved (intentional):
- crates/core/src/paths.rs — keeps "magnotia" / "Magnotia" / ".magnotia"
legacy detection strings in legacy_and_target_paths() so the
migration shim can still find user data from the magnotia era.
- src/lib/stores/{page,focusTimer}.svelte.ts + src/lib/i18n/index.ts
— migration call sites reference the legacy magnotia keys
deliberately.
- docs/handovers/ — historical audit trail.
cargo build --workspace passes. npm run check: 0 errors / 0 warnings
(3958 files). cargo test --workspace: 339 pass / 0 fail.

13. Competitive Landscape (Extended)
Tiimo (primary competitor)
- iPhone App of the Year 2025, 3M+ downloads, ~$200K/month revenue, ~500K active users
- Pricing: $12/month or $54/year (iOS), cheaper via web ($42/year)
- Had a lifetime option — removed it, community backlash was significant
- iOS and web only. No Android (as of September 2025). No native desktop app (web app cannot sync calendars or offer dictation).
- Cloud-dependent. No voice transcription as a core feature.
- Aggressive review prompts (3 prompts in 5 minutes reported by reviewers)
- Strengths: visual colour-coded timelines, AI co-planner, no-guilt design philosophy, NHS certification
- Weaknesses: slow animations, confusing UX concepts ("activity vs routine"), reported data loss issues
- B2B pivot underway — projects B2B to reach one-third of total revenue within two years
Structured
- Clean visual daily planner across iOS, Android, Mac, and web
- Lifetime purchase option at ~£52
- Android and web versions lag far behind iOS, iCloud sync unreliable
- Not designed specifically for neurodivergent users
Goblin.tools
- Beloved AI task breakdown ("Magic ToDo") — free on web, low-cost app purchase
- Collection of single-task utilities, not a planner
- Community favourite for one-time purchase model
Llama Life
- Excellent timeboxing with finish-time visibility (combats time blindness)
- No calendar integration, no free tier, very small team
Focusmate
- Dominates body doubling — 274 five-star Trustpilot reviews
- Web-only, not a task manager
Focus Bear
- Desktop-first (rare) — locks computer until morning routines complete, blocks distracting sites
- Australia-based, designed specifically for ADHD/autism
Super Productivity
- Open-source, local-first, runs on Windows/Mac/Linux
- Not originally designed for neurodivergent users
Lunatask
- Tasks, habits, calendar, mood tracking, journalling with end-to-end encryption on desktop
- Privacy-focused, small user base
Lumotia's advantages over the entire field
| Lumotia | The field |
|---|---|
| Cross-platform desktop + mobile (Tauri) | Almost all competitors are mobile-first or web-only |
| Voice as primary input method | No mature competitor integrates voice into a full planning system |
| Local-first, offline-capable | Only open-source tools and tiny startups offer this |
| Lifetime licence | Only Structured offers one-time purchase; rest are subscription |
| Research-backed neurodivergent design | Most competitors bolt on ADHD features as an afterthought |
The four underserved dimensions
- Platform: No polished, purpose-built desktop ADHD app exists.
- Input method: No mature tool offers voice as the primary input integrated into a full planning system.
- Architecture: Privacy-conscious and offline-first users served only by open-source tools and tiny startups.
- Pricing: Only Structured offers lifetime. Subscription fatigue is extreme in this demographic.
Lumotia addresses all four simultaneously. No current competitor does.
