    Mom Clock▲742

    Hi 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.

Social media is great as long as you don't overuse it -- I learn and connect with friends thanks to it. But it's too easy to get hooked. When you open addictive apps, SpeedBump gives you a few options: 2, 5, 15, 30 minutes. The more you want to use, the more you have to wait before opening.
