24 alternatives to Exercises you can do at work, emailed Mon-Fri
http://www.exercisesatwork.com/ I evolved this service over several months and since June it's in a state where I can show it to the public. The service is built on Google App Engine - an interesting experience on how the restrictions of the platform make you focus on the scalability of your app. Edit: wanted to add details as this might be interesting to HN. The challenge was to be able to get the emails and the associated timezones AND know what the time it is right now in that particular time zone. Then, I would have to email those records that would match the time, all this in 30…

Midday▲969I’ve been working on automating bookkeeping tasks, and one big pain point was manually reconciling receipts with bank transactions. We built a system that runs in the background, parses receipts (including Gmail), suggests matches, and learns from confirmations to auto-match over time. It's built into Midday and fully open-source. Let me know if you have any questions!

I am a software developer and in the last few months after recently becoming a father I was barely finding time for a proper workout. Recently I was reading about new research on Snack Exercises and how beneficial mini workouts of less than 2mins every so often, during the day are to our body. So, I decided to build an iOS App for me and others to help with this. The app generates a list of exercises that I need to tick to complete daily or loose my streak. The algorithm takes into account muscle groups and balancing the exercises to hit most main muscles. I also stayed going through all…

Wellcome▲95Hi everyone, I got tired of the daily "Where is everyone working from?" / "Who's coming in today" messages in various slack channels. So I built *FindMyTeam*: it's a Slack app that pings your team once a day with three buttons – Home, Office, Traveling – and then shows a quick who's‑where summary (plus a monthly heat‑map in the App Home to see patterns). How it works: * Once a day the app posts a reminder to check-in * Either hit one of the three buttons, or use natural language (AI, yo! ;) * The app maintains a summary each day in the channel * Reminder times can be customized per…

Hello, For quite some time, I've been unsatisfied with the built-in timers on both Android and iOS; especially for workouts, when I needed to set up a configurable number of series with rest periods in between. That's when I started thinking about building something myself. It was just a timer and I said to myself "how hard could it be?", I had no idea. The first iteration of the project worked "just fine", but the UI was an eyesore (even more than it is now), and the UX was quite awful as well. As you can probably guess, I'm not versed in design or front-end development. In fact, my last…

Since I went remote(working) last year, I found it hard to track my work/focus hours. To begin with, I started with my mobile stopwatch but found it to be inefficient and distracting. I then tried some time management tools online but they were geared towards enterprises than individuals. Plus, had too many features. So, last weekend I created https://www.timemygrind.com/ - a simple focus time tracking tool that requires no login, no internet and has no ads. Once you finish your work, it shows the times in the table below. I usually pause when I take a break or go out for…

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

Scheduling meetings across multiple time zones has always been painful for me, especially across daylight saving time transitions. So I built a visual timeline that makes it easy to find overlapping availability. Add your locations, drag to select a time range, and share a link. Recipients see the proposed times in their local time zone automatically. A few things that might be interesting: * Location search over GeoNames with fuzzy matching using weighted edit distance, so typos and partial names still resolve correctly. * Shareable links encode the selected time range and locations in a…

Hey HN. I made a micro site one recent evening to see upcoming (and recent past) timezone transitions. At my job, we have some timezone specific code where we often see spikes in metrics due to random timezone shifts around the world. Just for fun, I wanted a way to easily see where and what this timezone shift might have been, so built this mini site to do so. Its fully clientside and works by making use of the Internationalization API, so if you need an API for this you're coming to the wrong place, but feel free to yoink the code. Its just one fat index.html file. Served off my VPS via…

Hey HN! I made TimeAnt because my dad needed a simple way to track his time at work and he didn’t like the other apps out there because they were too complicated or had way too many features. So, I built an app that just does the basics: track work hours, meetings, breaks, lunch and optionally lets you add notes - and that's it. It’s totally free, works both online and offline, and doesn’t require an account (but you can create one if you want). The goal was to keep it super simple and let you focus on tracking time without all the fluff. It also gave me a chance to learn Swift and build my…

Hey HN, I recently created dailydebrief as i was kinda bored of hopping between my apps and calendars in the morning and checking each one and just wanted a simple brief and catch any important things for the day. You just have to connect to your apps like Google Calendar, github, Strava, Monday.com and it will sends you a daily email debrief at the time you choose summarizing your day (i prefer 9am). You can also get a weather update too but i plan to add a lot more. What’s different about it? - The emails are minimal and fast to scan (built for busy developers). - Growing integrations off…

Hi HN, happy to share this project that I’ve been working on. Ingrain is like Clerk for user activities. With Ingrain, you can add user activity logging to your app and display them in minutes using our UI components. I know from my past experience of building internal tools and b2b apps that user activity logging is a useful feature that is always requested, but often shelved for other core business features. By providing this as a service, Ingrain saves developers time, especially from building the UI to display the activities. My partner and I really like the whole concept of Clerk and we…

I’ve always liked fast online tools for jotting notes or organizing thoughts — but most “productivity” sites either save data to the cloud, require sign-ups, or are full of distractions. So I built an online productivity tools website, a small collection of browser-based tools. It includes an online notepad where you can write and save notes right in your browser, a cornell notes tool available in more than 20 languages, and more coming soon like a pomodoro timer and a simple blank page for focused writing. Everything works entirely in-browser using localStorage — no accounts, no cloud sync,…

I am currently working with seven people in different timezones and I needed to see when they would answer my emails or when I could chat with them. Although Amy did offer a tool to solve this problem (http://everytimezone.com/), I found it too confusing for my simple brain. This is how is born the Remote Team Work Hours tool! (I am competing with Microsoft on the longest product name, any suggestion?). I would love to hear your feedback and how this tool could be improved to be more useful. Cheers! link: http://taskarmy.com/remote_team_work_hours

I spend way too much time reading emails and scheduling. I just want something that handles it for me.. without needing a whole new app. So, I’m building this thing that lives in WhatsApp. It helps with emails, scheduling, todo lists etc.. right from my whatsapp. Honestly, I feel like batman with alfred at my sevice lol. Still veryyy early, but I wanted to check if others would be intrested. Would love to hear what you think. <3

I've spent the last couple weeks working on getting this up and running. It's my first web app. The use case it is designed for is for shift workers who work x days on, y days off. So if you ask them "Are you going to be able to go to my wedding on July 15, 2012" they have no idea. This helps solve that problem. Feed back as always is appreciated.

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…
