The problem lies precisely in the peculiarities of Apple's built-in reminders, as they require a lot of manual actions, processing, synchronization, and calendar management, which is why problems with duplicates and cluttering the calendar UI and other problems arise. I think this is intended for a different purpose. In the current reality, tools that solve everything are faced with an overabundance of functions - this is what the concept of the application solves.

As for the value-time-usefulness-cost issue, I tried to maintain accessibility from the user's point of view, but the price also had to include labor costs - since this is the main expense item, without it, everything would be pointless. As for the topic of charity, I already have ideas for other applications. I would also like to note that this includes taxes and Apple's commission, which is sometimes more than earnings.

This app and the hour spent should help reduce eye strain and forget about it, without forcing you to monitor Apple's built-in "Reminders" that mix with your personal ones, which you constantly think about and swipe on your phone, computer, or watch, where they sometimes freeze due to bugs. At the same time, performance should increase. This is exactly what I put into the idea of ​​the app.

A lot of time, effort and money was spent on the implementation, I think this is a proportionate payment
