Prompt template
Todo app prompt — copy, paste, build
A prompt for a focused native todo app — projects, due dates, reminders, and a quick-capture sheet. Designed to be opinionated about defaults so the first build does not feel like a blank canvas.
The prompt
Build a native iOS and Android todo app with: (1) a home tab showing today's tasks grouped by project, (2) a project list tab with task counts per project, (3) an "add task" quick-capture sheet accessible from anywhere with title, due date, project, and priority, (4) a task detail screen with notes and subtasks, (5) push reminders configurable per task, (6) a completed-today celebration animation. Use Expo, React Navigation, twrnc for styling, AsyncStorage for state, and Expo Notifications for reminders.

Build a todo app with one default project, due dates, and reminders. Skip subtasks.

Does the prompt support recurring tasks?
The Lite variant does not. The Pro variant scaffolds daily, weekly, and custom recurrence. You can also add it later in chat without re-running the whole project.
Are reminders real push notifications?
Yes. The prompt wires Expo Notifications and asks for permission on the first reminder add. AppGenie autofills the dependency.
