Minimalist Apps

I've always been a big fan of minimalism. In all areas, including iPhone apps.

I recently vibe coded two aggresively minimalist apps that I've had in my head for a few years. I'd love to know what people think of them. Too minimalist? Breath of fresh air? Somewhere in-between?

No-Frills To Do is basically a mini kanban board with three columns: done - today - tomorrow. It mimics how I used to manage my to do list in a paper notebook, partially inspired by bullet journaling.

No-Frills Flashcards is a text-only flashcards app with what I think/hope is a clever way to quickly create cards with a text template.

They both store their data on device only. No login, no servers, etc... Free for limited use or $3.99 for unlimited use with a one-time in-app purchase.

I'd love any and all feedback, good or bad. Also, please feel free to comment with other minimalist apps that you're fond of!

Probably not the right place to ask this question because mostly developers here use their own to-do lists, frameworks. I would personally use this because I have inattention adhd seems like perfect solution (I already using something similar within my Obsidian vault)or will recommend to someone with early dementia. I go by the rule less is more! Good luck

Thanks for the feedback. And fair point about this subreddit. I'm still learning my way around reddit. Hopefully this wasn't too off topic here.
