🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. Implement a 'skip' or 'try limited version' button on the onboarding screen for new users.
  2. Offer a 7-day free trial that does not require immediate payment information.
  3. Create a 'freemium' tier that allows basic sleep tracking without requiring a subscription.
