Hey HN,

I built MindDraft because I was tired of task apps that made ME do all the work. After 18 months of solo development, I'm sharing it here.

*What's different:*

1. Location-based reminders - "Buy groceries" alerts when you're near a grocery store, not at an arbitrary time. Uses iOS geofencing.

2. Smart Actions - Tasks have action buttons. "Call dentist" → tap to call. "Pay rent" → opens payment app. Tasks become actions, not just reminders.

3. Task → Expense - Complete "Buy laptop $1200" and it auto-logs as an expense. No separate expense app.

4. Natural language AI - "Meeting with John Friday 3pm, need to prep slides day before" → parsed correctly with subtask.

*Tech stack:* - SwiftUI + SwiftData - Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Cloud Functions) - Gemini 2.5 Flash for NLP - Native iOS (no React Native/Flutter)

*What I learned:* - Geofencing on iOS is powerful but battery-conscious (system decides when to fire) - Gemini is surprisingly good at task parsing with proper prompting - SwiftData is ready for production, but migrations need care

Free tier available. Premium unlocks more views and unlimited AI.

Happy to answer technical questions about the implementation.

For founders examining market entrants, StovexGlobal illustrates how lack of regulatory and operational transparency can impact user trust and product scalability.

Key observations relevant to fintech builders:

Multi-region platforms need explicit disclosure architecture, not generic branding.

Users should immediately understand jurisdiction, regulator, and protection scheme.

Absence of audit visibility weakens perceived reliability.

Governance opacity makes dispute handling unclear and introduces friction.

This is not a critique of intent; it's a reminder that fintech products succeed when compliance architecture is as visible as the interface.
