zem is the to-do app for the days you can't. the hardest part of any task is starting. so every task in zem gets a 2-minute button — tap it and just begin. finishing is optional. that's the whole pitch. what's in the box: - a quiet today list, no streaks shouting at you - "split this task" — paste in the wall ("file taxes") and zem breaks it into the first three small steps you can actually start - a mascot that grows as you complete tasks (and forgives missed days) - a morning energy check-in that matches the day's tasks to where you're at - soft notifications, capped at three a day - iOS widget so today's next step is on your home screen - end-of-day swipe — see what you got done in 30 seconds things zem deliberately does NOT do: - shame you for missing a day - ship streak counters that reset on one bad week - ask for your contacts, calendar, or location - sell your data — we don't even collect task content privacy: - we never see what you write. tasks stay encrypted on your device and on our backend; we can't read them. - the only third party that ever touches a task title is openrouter (which forwards it to the underlying model), and only when you tap "split" (with caching so the same title never goes twice). - anonymous usage events are off by default in the EU. you choose. free 7-day trial, then a small monthly or yearly subscription. cancel any time from the App Store. — Subscription details (Zem Pro auto-renewing subscription): - Zem Pro Monthly — billed monthly at the price shown in-app, auto-renews each month until cancelled. - Zem Pro Yearly — billed yearly at the price shown in-app, auto-renews each year until cancelled.
