Products that do what Discipline.io – Make binding commitments to your better self does
Hi HN, It's super hard to quit addicting apps. Existing solutions are non-binding, and therefore, require constant self-discipline and vigilance to be effective. Which is ironic, considering the problem we are trying to solve, is a lack of self-discipline. There exists a physical solution to this problem, in the form of a time-locked safe[1]. It’s effective for reducing app usage, but it's cumbersome and inconvenient. Fundamentally, what these lock-boxes do is impose a real-world cost on breaking your commitment. It’s not impossible to break your commitment, but it would require destroying…

Hello. I was looking for a simple and clean habit tracker. I went through a few apps but felt they were missing something.

Hi everyone I'm a Notion-addicted person and love to build my own template to cover different aspects of my life, either work or personal stuff. Once, I wanted to build a habit tracker template, and I realized Notion was not the best solution. You can organize it in a much more efficient way just with a pen and a piece of paper. However, the best tool should live on your devices and have a correct structure. Then, I decided to try to build an app using SwiftUI and SwiftData. The goal was to make it a very basic version in one month. But it took me two months. I tried to add only the core…

We need to break through task paralysis but we end up waiting until the last minute instead. Now we realize how privileged we were to have someone on the outside keeping us in check. We try to solve the problem by beating ourselves up,…

I’m an indie dev and recently launched a small iOS app called Stop It. It’s designed to support people trying to quit or reduce habits like smoking, snus, sugar, or social media. The app uses bilateral visual stimulation — moving patterns inspired by EMDR therapy — to help interrupt the craving cycle and bring a moment of calm.
