As someone with ADHD, the concept of it - having essentially a second brain that helps you remember, prioritise information, work your calendar, todo list, reminders, etc. - is great.

The core issue is that companies think they can turn this into another data source while making you pay for it.

Precisely due to this, I'm working on a project that does away with the corporate control and allows one to use these products (for now focused on a handful of major brands and DIY solutions using more polished ESP32 based devices from e.g. Waveshare) without the corporate cloud: running either locally on your phone (AI processing somewhat limited), or on a self-hosted cloud with connectors for AI models and services.
