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…

Problem: You have a million things going on and stuff slips. Passport renewal, car registration, kid's doc appt, why you started going to the gym in the first place.

I built Milburn bc every mental health tool I could find was missing something: the therapy apps didn’t have voice/memory/too expensive, and the journal apps were always a PITA to sync with therapy. We trained the chatbot’s model on specific therapy modalities(I personally need CBT sessions, but we also have others like DBT), and then created a prompted journal, added a feedback loop, voice…

Hey HN! I built justtextfaro.com, a stupidly simple and extremely proactive text message based companion to stop those small tasks from slipping through the cracks. Just text Faro and it will make sure you wont forget it. The problem: The friction. Alarms/Calendars have fussy menus and are cumbersome. You’ll write something in your notes app and never check it again. When you are done with a task you have disable all said alarms/remove calendar events/update your notes app. The solution: Faro is frictionless. 3 key features: 1. Get a text every morning of what you have in…
