Ever since I began incorporating the Bullet Journal into my daily life for the past 3 months, I have started to experience some of the benefits of using this method of logging and journaling down my thoughts, ideas and tasks. There is one downside though, this method and concept has been built around the idea of using physical notebooks to write down everything. But in reality, I find it cumbersome to have to carry around multiple notebooks on a daily basis. That adds extra weight to my bag as a wandering digital nomad. It’s not that the creator didn’t have a companion app for his book. There is one. But according to many of the reviews and ratings on the mobile app store, it feels like a half-baked app. So, that is why I’ve decided to create my very own instead. Besides, it has always been a personal wish of mine to build and publish my own productivity tool. For the “MyBulletz” app, I’ve drawn inspiration and ideas from two of my favourite note-taking apps of all time – Notion and Evernote.

Speaking as someone that is also on the ADHD spectrum, I’ve found those apps to be lacking. Perhaps the better way to describe it is that these generic note-taking apps were not designed with ADHD folks in mind. And so, I want to make my app centered around folks like myself. Yet, at the very same time, it will also be beneficial and useful to generic note-taking users that want a cleaner and different experience. I intend for this to be a “freemium” app, and I will be building it using the Flutter/Dart framework considering that it serves my cross-platform development needs. I look forward to finishing the prototype in the near future and doing some testing myself, maybe sharing with a few close friends for testing too, before I finally release the Android version on Google Play Store.
