    Mom Clock▲742

    Hi 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. This is not for everyone. Some people hate it. Some people love it. I’m genuinely curious where HN stands on this tradeoff: comfort vs. effectiveness. Happy to answer questions about: –…

    I 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.

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...
