nudge2.0▲107Hey HN! Nudge captures your screen every minute and uses GPT-4o to detect when you're distracted. Describe what you want to work on ("Review PRs on GitHub for 20min") and Nudge will alert when it sees you doing something else. I built Nudge because I get easily distracted at work. I've been using it for a few weeks and I'd say my procrastination is down 20-30%. (That's partly because Nudge forces me to break my day into small, concrete activities.) The AI detection can work perfectly but it depends on how clearly you describe your goal. For example, "I want to reply to my boss" is bad, but…

Dolph AI▲13Hey HN, I built Dolph AI — a focus timer for students that mixes deep work with a little AI fun. The idea is simple: 25 minutes of uninterrupted study time followed by 5 minutes of chatting with an AI The goal is to train focus, not just track it. I built this because I noticed students (myself included) often struggle to stay off our phones — especially with AI becoming more engaging than ever. Ironically, I wanted to use AI to help fight that. Dolph doesn’t do a million things. It just gives you a focused study space, then rewards you with 5 minutes of chill AI time where you can reflect,…

Hey HN, I've struggled with time-blindness my whole life. ADHD means I can write 14 tasks on a to-do list and genuinely believe I'll finish them before lunch.

No more lying to yourself about what actually fits. Just shipped 1.4 with Focus Mode The new version adds features I've wanted since day one: Focus Mode: Full-screen timer that zooms into your current task. Distractions fade, simple controls keep you on track.…
