For what it’s worth, the app, by default, will not take any action and largely act as a helpful reminder, and I highly recommend this type of use.

This is a symptom of caring too much about what you're focused on, though. While I appreciate that sometimes it's easy to forget important things, I think if you need inorganic means to remember to call your mother, you need to take a moment to actually consider that, rather than looking for the nearest software "solution".

Not everyone's brain works in the same way as yours, that doesn't make them a sociopath.
