Most of the time, procrastination is not caused by laziness, but by difficulty getting started. Once you do get started, momentum will often carry you through to the end. Procrastination is only the surface symptom. The deeper reason is that our brains are naturally wired to: * dislike vague tasks and not know where to begin * fall into perfectionism, worrying about not doing it well, so it feels easier not to start at all * prefer short-term pleasure, such as scrolling on the phone * lose self-worth even further when procrastinating. At that point, the subconscious may start attaching labels like “I’m someone who always procrastinates,” leading to self-denial, inner friction, and a vicious cycle (it is very important not to label yourself this way!) This little app can break down the tasks you do not want to face into extremely specific steps with one tap. Every step is easy to complete, and each one comes with guiding text to reduce your psychological resistance. Once the task is broken down, all you need to do is take the first step with its encouragement — after that, you may find it hard to stop. # Key Features 1. Multiple Coaches The app comes with 4 carefully selected built-in coaches (Coach W specialises in helping you start, the cool and blunt big-sister coach is direct and well-balanced, Miss S is great at arranging chained tasks, and the NPC Mage excels at turning boring tasks into role-playing adventures). 2. Coach DLC Download the coaches you like on demand! A minister, a butler, a professional communication coach, a sleep guidance coach, even a chef coach… one app, endless ways to play. 3. Growth System (Beta) Make your real-world effort visible inside the app, so you can fall in love with the version of yourself that keeps improving. 4. Personal Profile Every time a coach creates a plan, they will refer to your personal profile to design steps that best fit your situation and write encouragement that motivates you most effectively. It also supports per-coach rewrites, so different coaches can see different versions of your profile. (For example, the “Master Chef” sees your food preferences, while the “Minister” sees that you are a Spanish princess.) 5. Navigation Mode (Focus) An ADHD-friendly focus mode: large text always visible (based on the GTD approach), progressive step disclosure, and course correction to help you slip naturally into a focused state. 6. Idea Capture (Not a TODO List) "Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them." Shake firmly on any screen to capture an idea instantly. You do not need to come up with brilliant ideas every time. But as long as ideas keep appearing and keep getting captured, those low-probability good ideas will eventually connect, grow, and turn into real change. 7. Lorebook Define a dictionary for your own world — a lorebook that packages complex instructions, technical terms, and personal SOPs into reusable entries. 8. Apple Watch Support! This is especially useful in situations like cooking, exercising, or walking, when it is not convenient to keep looking at your phone. 9. Iterative Revision A good plan is shaped through revision. PlanCoach’s powerful editing features let you adjust and refine it endlessly with AI until it truly fits. ==== The app price is increasing month by month, and the lifetime purchase will gradually rise to ¥268 — the earlier you buy, the better the deal!

PromoMeld is a unified hub for subscriptions and useful notifications from stores, cafés, services, events, and online projects. Receive only what truly matters to you — without unnecessary spam, random subscriptions, or dozens of separate apps from different brands. PromoMeld is suitable for all kinds of projects — from small coffee shops or hair salons to stores, events, services, and online platforms. With PromoMeld, you can: • subscribe through the app or QR codes • receive notifications only from selected projects • keep all subscriptions in one place • temporarily disable notifications • view message history inside the app • choose notification formats • control notification frequency and delivery times • report unwanted or suspicious notifications With PromoMeld, you can receive: • promotions and discounts • news and updates • information about events and activities • important notifications • special offers The app gives you full control over notifications: • in-app notifications only • push notifications • silent mode • important notifications only PromoMeld works in two formats. The first is project subscriptions. Users voluntarily subscribe to projects they are interested in and receive notifications only when and as often as they choose. The second is quick access to information through QR codes without subscribing. For example, a company can place a QR code on a poster, package, business card, or advertisement. After scanning, users can instantly access information such as an address, map, menu, schedule, link, event details, or other materials — without requiring a subscription. PromoMeld also supports a feedback and reporting system. If a user believes notifications are unwanted, misleading, or spam-like, they can submit a report directly inside the app. Such reports are reviewed, and if necessary, a project may be restricted or blocked. For businesses, PromoMeld is a simple way to inform users without the need to create a separate mobile application. Companies create their projects through a web panel and distribute QR codes for subscriptions or quick access to information. PromoMeld does not create automatic subscriptions and does not send messages on its own. Users receive notifications only from projects they personally choose. The app is completely free for users. Platform usage is paid only by business accounts. PromoMeld is built around the idea of respecting the user. No automatic subscriptions. No aggressive spam. Only voluntary notifications, feedback, and full control.
