Turtle Steady: an open-source AI app that breaks big tasks into small daily steps

A DEV Community post presents Turtle Steady, a low-stress productivity companion submitted to Hacktoberfest's Week 3 'Slow and Steady' open-source AI challenge. The app splits overwhelming project goals into manageable sub-tasks using Gemini-powered guidance intended to reduce burnout and task paralysis. A second project, Slow & Steady, is a minimalist white-and-red interface that uses Google's open Gemma models via the Gemini API to encourage small, consistent daily actions. Both tools are built with Python and vanilla web front ends, with the author stressing local data control and avoidance of proprietary lock-in. The author claims planning that once took 30 to 45 minutes now completes in under three seconds.
