24 alternatives to I built a tool to sync localStorage between devices

At my day job, we have a daily async stand-up. We have to message a slack bot how many hours we have worked on a given task that day and overall. The format is: > Task: "Task Name" | Worked: 5h Total: 16h > Description: Finished implementation of feature. I don't complain. Most fully remote jobs come with a version of this, but doing it manually got tedious. So, I needed a simple app that would track this. I am not usually a fan of "vibe coded" apps, but this was an ideal candidate for it, since it's not production code. Most LLMs solve the problem by creating a single HTML file with forms…

    Hi HN! I've been building Dayflow, a macOS app that automatically tracks what you're actually working on (not just which apps you have open). Here's what it does: - It creates a semantic timeline of your day; - It does it by understanding the content on your screen (with local or cloud VLMs); - This allows you to see exactly where your time went without any manual logging. Traditional time trackers tell you "3 hours in Chrome" which is not very helpful. Dayflow actually understands if you're reading documentation, debugging code, or scrolling HN. Instead of "Chrome: 3 hours", you get…

    Hi 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…

    Started as a timer to track my freelance coding hours and stay focused. It’s local-only, zero-login, minimalist. Not monetizing it (yet), just seeing if others find it helpful. Thoughts welcome.
