I built this app primarily for my wife, who has tried many mainstream todo-list apps (OmniFocus, Things, and Todoist come to mind) over the years with little success. She isn't particularly interested in setting up a productivity system and the administrivia that goes with it. Even having to remember to look at an app once a day was far from ideal for her. This app is an attempt at a solution for anyone that fits this description, with a focus on alerting over organization. Here's how it works: you create a nudge that's set to trigger at a given date and time, and the app phones you, texts…

Hi all, just posting an update to my previous Show HN, where I announced a side-project I worked on which was a (web version) of a multi-user, notepad style calculator: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31817997 After a couple of user requests (and having a good think about it) I decided to migrate the web UI to create a Mac and Windows desktop app. After using it a little bit, I feel this is a much better experience than the webapp, and reduces a lot of the friction if I wanted to run a few small calculations. You can find the download links below:…

We're building an app that helps people manage their schedule, tasks and notes all in one place. The goal is to create a workspace, where people can manage their various priorities, both personal and professional, see a single schedule combined of all their calendars and manage their days without switching between multiple apps. At the moment we've implemented Google calendar synchronisation, basic tasks and notes. Also Emery has some things we really wanted to see in other apps – private notes for meetings, categories that can be used to group tasks/notes/meetings together, weekly…

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…
