Care to share a screenshot and the 'killer feature' of any of your personal, self-built productivity tools? eg. I made my own calendar and money-tracker last year - there are no other users, it makes no money, I have no plans to make it public, but it holds my life together :) http://i.imgur.com/h2keJDg.png GREAT BECAUSE... it tells me how much I'm going to get paid this month. Absolutely no ulterior motive here (ie. I'm not canvassing opinions for a productivity app startup or anything), just interested.

Plus, it makes it easy for the user (you) to see the status of a task thanks to colors (blue for week-long tasks, red for overdue, orange for nearly due, and green for not due yet. Bonus points: The screenshot on the right is actually made with Keynotopia! Thanks a lot…

tickk▲5Hey HN, I built tickk because I have ADHD and every productivity app felt like work. I'd have an idea, open an app, then spend 5 minutes deciding if it's a "task" or a "note" or which project it belongs to. By then, the thought was gone. What it does: - Talk into your phone/laptop → it transcribes and auto-categorizes into tasks, notes, or events - Uses local NLP (compromise.js) - no data leaves your device - Works offline, no account needed, completely free The key insight: Capture first, organize later. Your brain shouldn't have to categorize while it's still thinking. Tech stack: -…
