Questions people ask.
Short, honest answers. If yours isn't here, send a note and we'll add it.
-
01
Is DONE(kinda) really free? Forever?
Yes, free to download and free to use. There is no premium tier, no monthly subscription, no "unlock the calendar for $4.99". Every feature in the app is available to everyone.
The plan is to keep it that way. If a future feature is genuinely expensive to run (which would be a strange thing for a local-only app), it would be a one-time optional unlock — never an ad, never a subscription.

02
I use a phone and a tablet — how do I keep them in sync?
You don't, automatically. There's no cloud sync because there's no server. What you can do is Settings → Data → Export on one device, save the JSON file somewhere you can reach from the other device (Drive, email, USB cable), and Import it on the second device.
It's a deliberate choice. Real-time sync usually means an account, a server holding your data, and a privacy policy that grows. We picked the slower, manual path so we wouldn't have to ask you for any of that.

03
Will there be an iOS version?
Maybe, eventually. The honest version: shipping on Android first means a tighter feedback loop with one platform, one set of design quirks, one Play Store listing. iOS would be a substantial rewrite, not a port, so it's something to look at after the Android app has settled in.
If you want to be told when (or if) it lands, an email-when-it-ships form will appear here once we have one.

04
Where does the name come from?
From the days that aren't a 100% kind of day. You wrote down four to-dos, you did two and a half. The third one you sort of started. The fourth you didn't get to.
Most planners treat that as a failure (look at all that red). DONE(kinda) tries to treat it as what it is: kinda done. Which is, more often than not, fine.

05
What permissions does the app actually need?
Three, and only when you turn the related feature on:
- Notifications — to fire reminders for to-dos and the optional morning briefing.
- Coarse location — only if you turn on the optional Weather flourish, and only to fetch local weather from Open-Meteo. Turn it off and the permission goes unused.
- Vibration — for the haptic feedback on swipes and the rage-shake gesture.
No microphone. No camera. No contacts. No background location. The full breakdown lives on the privacy page.

06
Will the app keep getting updates?
Yes. The plan is small, frequent updates — a fix here, a polish there, occasionally a new feature when something earns its place. Anything substantial will be summarised in a "what's new" page that'll appear here once there's something worth writing down.
The app stays usable even with no internet, so an update gap won't strand you.

07
How do I send feedback or report a bug?
A contact email is being set up. Once it's live, it'll appear in the footer and on the privacy page. Bug reports, feature ideas, gentle complaints, and wins (“I checked off three things today”) are all welcome.
Different question? a contact email is on its way — in the meantime, the guide covers most of the app in detail.
