Mom Clock▲742Hi HN, I’ve tried dozens of reminder and habit apps over the years. They’re all polite. Gentle. Easy to ignore. So I built something intentionally different. Mom Clock is a reminder app that behaves more like a strict parent than a productivity coach: – no snoozing – no “later” – optional app blocking using Screen Time APIs The idea came from my own behavior: I don’t need motivation — I need enforcement.

I kept missing appointments and meetings because calendar notifications are too easy to ignore. Alarms, on the other hand, always break through silent mode/DND and force you to acknowledge them — but setting them manually every day was another chore. With iOS 26’s new AlarmKit, I built Beacon: it automatically syncs with your Apple Calendar and converts important events into real iOS alarms. You can define simple rules (like “only events with ‘Interview’ in the title” or “meetings with 3+ attendees”), and Beacon sets the alarms for you — no extra work required. Would love feedback!
