24 alternatives to Bits – Your 3 times/week fantasies finally come true (video inside)
I've just published my app and I would love to have more feedback on it. I got the idea when I was busy moving around several projects during my last semester. And I always don't know which project I should work on next. Even worse, whenever I'm busy with something, I no longer have time to "read book", "go jogging" etc. That's when I thought it would be great if there is an app that keeps track of all the tasks that you want to do and habits that you want to make. And here it is! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKVr0k9Hax0…

I initially released this as just an IOS app. Since then it has been growing steadily but a lot of people have emailed asking for a web / android version. It took me nearly 2 months to build a version for the web. The nice thing about using Convex as my backend is that all the data is always synced between the app and web. I do not have to setup any syncing logic. The moment you change something in the app, it will reflect on the web version in realtime. I know there are loads of these kind of tools online but it's starting to feel like mine is actually starting to differentiate itself…

Hi guys, This is my first time building something from scratch so go easy on me. I've always used to-do lists to keep me productive and stave off anxiety (not sure why they work so well for me but they do). I get kinda annoyed at the to-do list apps on the app stores because they move tasks to the bottom of the list when you tick them off. Some people may like that, but it annoys the shit out of me, because I like to feel a sense of progression as I go down through the list over the course of the day. So this was borne out of my frustration really. I also made it browser-based so it's easy…

I've been working on a side project called Streak.ly with a friend of mine for the past month or so; it's intended to help keep you motivated to do otherwise mundane daily tasks (like do 10 pushups, read for an hour, etc.) by letting you log "streaks" — consecutive days in a row of doing something. It's in private alpha/beta/gamma/whatever right now (has some rough edges to clean up), but is more or less functionally complete and pretty stable. I'm a big fan of the Seinfeld calendar, and have seen other services which do similar things but were unsatisfying to use, either from an aesthetic…

Day Chunks▲13I 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)

Howdy HN, As a small side project, I built a small app to share weekly time schedules. It's been useful for me to help schedule meeting and share semester schedules with friends. I hope some others find some use with it. I have a few more simple ideas to implement with it, and any suggestions are encouraged. Thank you!

I built this app in less than 4 hours over a busy and noisy weekend to help me stay focused while studying, during my college days. Since then I have been maintaining this open source project. Its been quite a fruitful and enjoyable ride. Hope you all like it :)

Care to share a screenshot and the 'killer feature' of any of your personal, self-built productivity tools? eg. I made my own calendar and money-tracker last year - there are no other users, it makes no money, I have no plans to make it public, but it holds my life together :) http://i.imgur.com/h2keJDg.png GREAT BECAUSE... it tells me how much I'm going to get paid this month. Absolutely no ulterior motive here (ie. I'm not canvassing opinions for a productivity app startup or anything), just interested.

Hello guys! I need some help reviewing, and refining the landing page for an app that I'm building: http://taskr.punchdev.com/ (and here's a screenshot in case my DNS hasn't updated yet: http://cl.ly/0M1w340S1M2T1m0W3G2I ) It's a to-do list app that differentiates itself from others by making sure you add new tasks daily. Plus, it makes it easy for the user (you) to see the status of a task thanks to colors (blue for week-long tasks, red for overdue, orange for nearly due, and green for not due yet. Bonus points: The screenshot on the right is actually made with Keynotopia! Thanks a lot…

Hello HN! I got pretty overwhelmed with Notion, Trello, etc. (Even though they are great tools!) as an indie dev, so I built an app that is simpler to use and perfectly suited for an indie like me :) You can basically divide your projects into multiple milestones (a milestone could be e.g. a new version), and the milestones can have multiple tasks that are either todo, in progress, or done. The progress for each milestone is calculated with those tasks, and you can also prioritize and categorize the tasks using tags (E.g. for me, #ph turns into "High Priority", and #pm into "Medium…

Activity Jot▲10Hi HN! I'm first time poster here and so excited to share with you a neat little app I've launched recently. The app is called Activity Jot and its main purpose is to track tiny little irregular activities and events in your daily life. I'm sure many of you want to remember the last time you went grocery shopping and how much money you spent on grocery at that time; or how long you spent time on your last gaming session; or how regularly you are eating out, and at which restaurants. If you're struggling to keep track of those activities, this app is definitely for you! Check it out at…

Hey hackers, Like many of you, I'm always trying to optimize my productivity, and I have tried a lot of apps out there to do so. I didn't find the exact one that I could use, so I built one for myself. Check it out and let me know if you have any thoughts!

Hi Everyone, I created a mobile app called Accumoo, and I would appreciate it if y'all can have a look, download and give me a favorable review. Lots of blood, sweat, tears and love went into this app, and I hope you LOVE it as much as I do - it's the app I always needed and wanted. Anyhow, I've been a Rails developer and Software Engineer for a long time, and this is my first stab at a mobile app. It's a "habit tracker" app on steroids that's just fun to use - syncs across devices, local-first architecture - and an easter egg game for good measure. Help a disabled vet out and give it a go.…

Aikoa▲7I build Aikoa for myself to replace paper lists and todos. There is gaziljion different todo apps. Why not use one of them? Every todo app I tried just confused my brain and I wanted something really simple that makes me want to mark tasks as done. And as a nerd, I wanted the power to stay in the background. I’m currently building Aikoa in my free time, but I keep releasing new features regularly. As a fun bonus for all early birds, I’m sending out a limited custom sticker. Delivered anywhere in the world. Would love to get feedback from you and hope this little web app helps you as much it…

a habit▲6I kept failing at habit apps. I'd add 6 habits, miss a day, feel guilty, stop opening the app entirely. So I built the opposite: an app that only lets you track one habit at a time. The idea is that one habit done beats ten habits planned. Pick one thing, show up daily, and only move on when it's automatic. It's free with ads. Would love your feedback on whether this constraint feels liberating or limiting. iOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1549454193 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.davvie.hab...

Hello there, When I started training for the first marathon in my life, I download a 6 months training plan, printed it, pinned it to my fridge, and started circling each completed training day. Sadly, I would often get injured during my runs, which would lead to days or weeks without running, and a lot of changes to the plan I had printed. All running apps that I tried either forced me to follow their plan from the start (which I didn’t want to do because I was already in the middle of training) or made it extremely slow and difficult to add a custom plan. So I decided to create my own app,…

ToNotDo▲2last week i was "working" on 5 things and i was completely overwhelmed to the point that i literally didn't know what to do. i did use ai chatting apps (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc..) and explained to them what i have in my mind but they didn't help me the way i wanted to, idk but they all seem to have a setting or something that makes them act as motivational speakers when they detect that you are overwhelmed (i even tried specific prompts guiding them to not act this way, but didn't help) so, i thought why don't i just make the tool that will fix my exact problem? and i made ToNotDo, a…

I made this app because I have such flexible schedule that I needed a tool where I can organise and structure my days efficiently. All apps I tried had title based events (you had to type manually what you want to do each time). My app is based on the premise that most people do the same activities/routines every day: So when creating an event in this app, the user can just select the from the pre-created activities/routines instead of having to type it in manually. After you download the app you get 1 day completely free testing, after that you can use the code LAUNCH for another…
