💡 Looking for your next high-impact project? Here's an idea with strong validation and a clear market need.
The Market Gap: Traditional reminder apps fail a significant segment of the population, particularly those with ADHD. Notifications are easily dismissed, and tasks quickly forgotten due to executive dysfunction and information overload. The core pain point is not a lack of reminders, but the lack of a persistent and impossible-to-ignore reminder system.
The Validation: This idea stemmed directly from a Reddit thread in r/ADHD with 96 comments and 126 upvotes, where users are actively discussing and seeking solutions for exactly this problem. Top comments reveal frustration with existing tools and a desire for creative workarounds that highlight the need for a persistent visual reminder. Users are literally trying to put sticky notes on their phones!
The Solution & Unique Angle: Wallminder proposes a mobile app that temporarily replaces the user's phone wallpaper with their most important task in large, bold text. It stays there until marked complete. This isn't just another notification; it leverages the most frequent interaction element of a smartphone to provide an 'unmissable' cue. The closest existing solutions (like iOS lock screen apps) don't offer this full-screen, persistent visual impact, giving Wallminder a first-mover advantage.
The Opportunity:
Clear Monetization: A freemium model with premium features (multiple reminders, advanced scheduling, customizations) offers flexible pricing via subscription or lifetime purchase.
Large, Engaged Niche: The ADHD community is highly vocal and actively seeking solutions, providing fertile ground for organic growth and community-led feedback.
Manageable MVP: The core functionality (wallpaper replacement, task entry, one-tap completion) is achievable for a solo developer or small team, especially using a cross-platform framework like React Native.
Strong Defensibility: While technical hurdles exist (especially with iOS permissions), overcoming them creates a significant technical moat and a defensible user experience.
This is a well-validated problem with a novel, high-impact solution ready for a builder to bring to life. Who's ready to make a real difference in daily productivity for millions?
