Mom Clock▲742Hi 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 running into this: timer on my laptop, alarm on my phone, timezone / discord timestamp conversion app in a separate tab. Switching between them was a hassle and I wanted to be able to set them up and manage really fast anywhere I was.

Works without an account or signup. All tools are fully functional immediately. Sign in to save your data across sessions. Pro adds live cross-device sync. Shared countdown links show…
