Claude 89c63891fa chore: rebrand from Kon/Corbie to Magnotia
Replace all instances of the legacy product names "Kon" and "Corbie" with
"Magnotia" across user-facing copy, code identifiers, package names, bundle
ids, file paths, and documentation. Preserves the unrelated "konsole" (KDE
terminal) reference and the parent CORBEL company name.

- Renames 10 Rust crates (kon-* → magnotia-*) and the tauri binary
- Updates package.json, tauri.conf.json (productName + identifier)
- Renames CSS classes (kon-rh-* → magnotia-rh-*) and animations
- Renames brand and roadmap docs
- Regenerates Cargo.lock and package-lock.json

Verified: svelte-check passes; pure-rust crates compile under new names.

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

Magnotia's advantages over the entire field

Magnotia 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

  1. Platform: No polished, purpose-built desktop ADHD app exists.
  2. Input method: No mature tool offers voice as the primary input integrated into a full planning system.
  3. Architecture: Privacy-conscious and offline-first users served only by open-source tools and tiny startups.
  4. Pricing: Only Structured offers lifetime. Subscription fatigue is extreme in this demographic.

Magnotia addresses all four simultaneously. No current competitor does.
