owldown··on iPhone Duo
I'm right-handed but I always keep my phone in my left pocket and use it with my left hand (keys have always been in my right pocket). I'm also pretty curious about the answer to this.

Why do you think eSIM is a US only thing? Common in Western Europe and Japan and South Korea and Mexico and Canada and Australia and Thailand as well. China and India are the big outliers, but that can change.

It isn't recording or storing audio, so laws against audio recording don't apply.
owldown··on HomeOS – A self-hosted family dashboard for a kitchen touchscreen
Cool idea, but anything that doesn’t sync offline is useless for me as a shopping list. It is good to add things to the list while in the kitchen, but the real value is having the list available while I’m inside the walk-in cooler at Costco. Reminders in iOS syncs in the background, and is up to date on my phone and my wife’s phone.

These three bullet points paint a much clearer picture of what this app does (I’ve not used it, so I can’t say whether or not the picture it paints is accurate) than the screenshots or description that are currently on the App Store.

I was wrong about the lack of a free trial.

Looking at what is on the website and in the App Store, I still don’t have a good understanding of what this app even does. It prints something based on your calendar and some self-help prompts?

App Store rules aside, since this app has no free trial, it should be easier for a potential customer to understand what this app is attempting to be.

“Comparable” is maybe true if we are talking about single core performance, but for memory bandwidth, the M1 Max is about 8 times faster. Wider bus, lower latency, not even close.
