24 alternatives to Bin collection calendars for the entire UK

Hi HN, I built ukbinday to provide a nicer way to find your bin collection days and actually remember when to put them out. It shows your upcoming collections and generates a calendar that updates automatically as the schedule comes out. Coverage is at about 85% of the UK so far and I'm working on getting that to 100%. There is also an API for the Home Automation community. This was built on top of two amazing open-source projects without which this would not exist: https://github.com/robbrad/UKBinCollectionData &…

Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    Hi HN! I've spent the last few months building HomeSheet - The all in one tool to track your personal assets. I built HomeSheet to make organizing and documenting my belongings a breeze. I've always wanted to put together a home inventory to protect myself in the event of a disaster, but I never found a solution that I liked. Right now HomeSheet is in early access, and I'm still working on determining what additional features users would like. I'll be around in the comments if you have any feedback, questions, or just want to say hi!

    I built this app to manage my day because making schedules manually each week was tedious. The app automatically generates a new schedule every week and helps me stick to it. I first posted an early prototype a while back—this is the polished version. If you try it, I’d love to hear your feedback. (* with the subdomain it's day-chunks.web.app)

    I live in London, and I got tired of endlessly searching for things to do every weekend, I struggle to make good plans (which my wife isn’t happy about). We like most seeing new exhibitions etc, and I hate Timeout London as it’s full of crap and restaurant promos imho. I decided to scrape all exhibition, museum event pages with help of AI, and automated it. Built a website, which lists live art events and exhibitions (only in London for now) and wanted to share it with you. Hope you find it useful, and please let me know if I missed any places (which I’m sure I did)

    Made this todo list + calendar heat map over a couple of weekends, so its rough, but should be valuable enough to be used. Currently stores data in local storage, but I'm working on persisting data with auth + a database. Features coming in the couple weeks: (1) Search, (2) Categories. Hope you find it useful!

    Hey Hacker News! To test implementing AI (and paywalls tbh) in software for the first time, I made this simple calendar creator (no mail address required) that lets a person create a calendar based on his needs and availability and export it to his calendar app, pdf or receive a daily newsletter with his daily tasks (and more). After wrestling with different models (f.e. with huggingface) and encountering different problems, I decided to use ChatGPT's models, tune them a little and see how the result works out. ChatGPT's low price enables me to give users the opportunity to create calendars…

    Hey HN! I'm the creator of Calendar0, a menubar calendar for MacOS and Windows that I've been working on for the past few months. The app is designed to make calendar management actually accessible without opening a browser every time you need to check your schedule. One of Calendar0's main goals is to eliminate the constant context-switching between multiple calendar accounts and providers. The latest update finally adds Apple Calendar support alongside Google and Microsoft 365, so you can now see all your calendars in a single unified view. I also just shipped bulk operations: you can add…

    For years I've used paper and a printed clock to organise my day. Found it way better than any list or timeline app. Played around a bit and made a digital clone to speed things up: Reassign.app (best experience is on desktop) Anyone else think of their day as a circle rather than a list? edit: it also has MCP integration (https://reassign.app/api/mcp) — my Claude already connects to Linear and Calendar, so I use it to start and plan my day. I can quickly get a skeleton of a day out and then polish until done.

    I came up with this idea when I was looking to move to London with a friend. I quickly learned how frustrating it is to trial-and-error housing options for days on end, just to be denied after days of searching due to some grotesque counteroffer. To add to this, finding properties that meet the budgets, commuting preferences and work locations of everyone in a group is a Sisyphean task - it often ends in failure, with somebody exceeding their original budget or somebody dropping out. To solve this I built a tool (https://closemove.com/) that: - lets you enter between 1-6…

    Hi, This is my new project (https://www.timepike.com/) which tries to solve basic problem of most small agencies: tracking working hours and holidays of employees and generating invoices for clients. I know that there are many similar solutions out there. Still, I haven't found one solving this problem in really clean, intuitive and super helpful way (for employer as much as for employees). That's why I decided to build one. Any feedback is really highly appreciated! Cheers, Wiktor

    I have never been able to keep a diary. Tried paper notebooks, journaling apps, daily templates. Always the same arc: a week of momentum, then nothing. The busiest days vanished first, because I was too busy living them to write anything down. At some point I noticed that I was already recording my life without trying. My calendar had every meeting. Slack had every conversation. GitHub had every commit. The raw material was there, just scattered across a dozen APIs. So I wrote a set of collectors and a cron job that pulls it all together every morning and has an LLM write a diary entry from…
