Why I made it
The question was simple: which parts of getting ready for bed are repetitive enough that a computer can keep track of them? The answer became a checklist, a timer, and a place to write down the day before closing the laptop.

Bedtime App
A bedtime checklist, brushing timer, and journal put into one Python app because apparently going to bed needed software.
Notes
The story so far
Small, but actually useful
There is nowhere for a personal utility to hide. If the sequence is annoying, I notice it that night. That made the feedback immediate and the next improvement fairly obvious.
What comes next
The repository is public and the app can keep changing as the routine changes. Realistically, the next feature will arrive after I get annoyed by something enough times.
