πŸ”§ Fix this

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

  1. A comparison directory of sleep apps that clearly labels which core features are locked behind paywalls.
  2. A browser extension that scans app store pages to highlight 'freemium' limitations before download.
  3. A community-driven database that verifies if an app's advertised features are actually accessible without payment.
