This is just me venting mainly, but if you have some ideas of things you wish existed, please post them.

First of all, obviously what I need is a younger person to remember things for me. Literally by my side to remind me of stuff. I used to have that in Mrs. Flops who is eight years younger. She kept me on track many a time. But now age is affecting her also.

Anyway what prompted me to start this is that I would like to have a timer app that counts up instead of down. For example, I now set something cooking and want to time it for thirty minutes. The timer goes 30:00, 29:59, etc.

I immediately forget how long I set it for.

I would prefer a timer that goes 00:01, 00:02 with the target time displayed also. It should go off at 30:00 but keep counting up.

Also a phone app for security codes that banks, etc. send. It is absurd that I sign into my bank account on my phone and then my bank sends my phone a code for me to prove it is me. If a criminal can sign into my account on my own phone, he won't be stopped by having to look at my tests and enter a code. Let an app detect the text and automatically populate it and hit send or whatever.

One more app: A voice activated AI voice recorder that lets me say aloud "Going to the garage for duct tape to attach the book cover." so when get to the garage, see a tool out of place and put it back, thus forgetting WTF I was in the garage n the first place, I can say "What?" and it will tell me "get the duct tape to fix the book." This may exist already.

You obviously do not understand the system. Give it some thought.
 
I want steel toed boots that are ultra comfortable right out of the box.
Now that I'm not married, I want a robot that knows how to cook and has my meal ready when I get home from work.
I wish I didn't have severe obstructive sleep apnea so I could sleep longer than 2 hour increments every night.

Starting to deal with the reality that a stair lift might be a good idea. The one time I counted the number of times in one day I used the stairs from the basement, I counted 30.

I'm approaching 72.

Hell yes.
Instead, I have this five-foot-tall, asshole (aka wife) standing in the house waiting for said object.
"Forget the duct tape, Biden?"
