I’m considering purchasing ByDesign from AppSumo and really like the direction you’re taking with an all-in-one planning system.
I currently use a task management setup that integrates deeply with AI tools (like Claude via MCP). My workflow is quite automated—when I work with AI, tasks are automatically created, updated, and marked complete without manual input.
I read your comment that “our data is stored in Firebase which is fully encrypted” and I find it a good thing that your servers are secure, but I have this doubt:
Will all my data be fully end-to-end encrypted in a way that only I can access and read it, or might your employees also be able to access and read it? I am not saying that they will, but just asking if the possibility exists.

A: Hey!! Right now, when we say your data is encrypted in Firebase, we’re talking about encryption at rest and in transit. That means your data is protected on our servers and while it’s being sent, which is standard across most SaaS products.
However, that’s not the same as true end-to-end encryption.
With end-to-end encryption, only you would be able to read your data, not even us. ByDesign...
They would be eager to show they have End-to-End encryption. If they don't write it, they don't have it.
They also write "we can access your data if you explicitly give us permission", that simply means they only need a message or email from you saying "sure, access my data" and they can read it by themselves.
In end-to-end encryption ONLY YOU have the key to access your data.
Q: Your domain expires in 4 months, why can't you purchase it for next 10 years? How good is your MRR?

Q: AI integrations
Hi Arthur,
I’m considering purchasing ByDesign from AppSumo and really like the direction you’re taking with an all-in-one planning system.

Q: E2EE data encryption

They are also NOT even GDPR complaint, something to keep in mind.
