I believe they predict when the next one will occur, and perhaps other features of which I’m not away. An app like the one I described might do the same: “it’s almost time for a haircut.” permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 2 points 1 year ago Uhhh, correct.
