24 alternatives to Velprium
Hi HN, I'm Minjae, a solo developer. - About two years ago, I came up with an idea and worked on it as a side project for about three months, but I had to quit because I was overwhelmed by my main job. However, when I recently used a coding agent to configure the specifications and have the development done, the implementation speed was incredibly faster than it was two years ago. So, I focused on refining the specifications and rode that momentum to launch the service in just two weeks. - The reason I developed Velprium was the problem of my data being scattered across multiple places when…

Hey HN, after the app I actually used to track my period wanted me to log in and save my data in the cloud, I decided to write my own. Most apps in this area are based on a subscription model and display far too much information anyway. For me, a simple calendar is enough where I can add a few notes if necessary. So that is the result of my work - a simple design and the data is only saved on the smartphone.

Hi HN! I've been building Dayflow, a macOS app that automatically tracks what you're actually working on (not just which apps you have open). Here's what it does: - It creates a semantic timeline of your day; - It does it by understanding the content on your screen (with local or cloud VLMs); - This allows you to see exactly where your time went without any manual logging. Traditional time trackers tell you "3 hours in Chrome" which is not very helpful. Dayflow actually understands if you're reading documentation, debugging code, or scrolling HN. Instead of "Chrome: 3 hours", you get…

I love the looks and UX of the Google calendar. But I wanted to have a version I could use more freely in my own projects, still looking similar to the one from Google.

Understanding scientific articles can be tough, even in your own field. Trying to comprehend articles from others? Good luck. Enter, Now I Get It! I made this app for curious people. Simply upload an article and after a few minutes you'll have an interactive web page showcasing the highlights. Generated pages are stored in the cloud and can be viewed from a gallery. Now I Get It! uses the best LLMs out there, which means the app will improve as AI improves. Free for now - it's capped at 20 articles per day so I don't burn cash. A few things I (and maybe you will) find interesting: * This is…

Timesible▲130Hi, I'm a developer, and after years of experimenting with various ideas, I finally shipped and reached a satisfaction point with my product. It’s called Timesible — a time tracking and project management tool designed to help businesses and teams optimize their productivity. Over the years, I’ve built plenty of projects, but most of them never reached the finish line or died out pretty early. This time, however, I wanted to build something truly useful. I decided to create a product that offers a simple, all-in-one solution to track time, manage tasks, and keep everything on budget. The…

I initially released this as just an IOS app. Since then it has been growing steadily but a lot of people have emailed asking for a web / android version. It took me nearly 2 months to build a version for the web. The nice thing about using Convex as my backend is that all the data is always synced between the app and web. I do not have to setup any syncing logic. The moment you change something in the app, it will reflect on the web version in realtime. I know there are loads of these kind of tools online but it's starting to feel like mine is actually starting to differentiate itself…

Heya HN, I started journaling about a year ago and recently landed in my perfect setup, a simple sentence to remember each day, combined with a flexible habit tracker. Over the holidays I turned this approach into a free expo app that I want to share. Basically, you get: - One sentence per day, enough to remember each day. - Flexible habit tracking (still working on finding the best UX here) - No backend, no tracking, all in device (just sentry for errors) - Clean, minimal interface - Export your data - Stats to track your progress I built this primarily for my own use, but I'd love to hear…

deariary▲10I have never been able to keep a diary. Tried paper notebooks, journaling apps, daily templates. Always the same arc: a week of momentum, then nothing. The busiest days vanished first, because I was too busy living them to write anything down. At some point I noticed that I was already recording my life without trying. My calendar had every meeting. Slack had every conversation. GitHub had every commit. The raw material was there, just scattered across a dozen APIs. So I wrote a set of collectors and a cron job that pulls it all together every morning and has an LLM write a diary entry from…

I started running 5 years ago and it completely changed me. Recently, I decided to train for my first marathon and needed something more than just tracking my runs to motivate me. I noticed all the apps currently available are just trackers and route finders, but nothing has solved the problem of consistency. So I thought of combining the basic idea of the Forest app with running and created a small app for myself which would reward me with plants and trees for my runs. I am not a mobile developer but then i came across Capacitor. Since I knew Next.js and have been working with it for the…

As a result of the industry I work in (TTRPGs), sometimes I get to do really fun things. Fun things like: Lock myself in a room with a copy of Calendrical Calculations and make a custom timeline maker for fantasy turbo-nerds like myself. Events are represented as integer minutes since the epoch (0, in this case). Then we use a calendar definition to parse those minutes into readable dates, based on the calendar. This allows us to plot events on a big zoomy Gantt timeline, as well as a standard list and calendar view. There's still a few things I want to add: Moon tracking for the calendar…

Hey guys, I wanted to show you an application I built during the last year and a half or so. It's called Dawarich and it's a free open-source self-hostable web app that is aimed to replace Google Timeline. And it did for me and couple of hundreds of self-hosters. Recently my partner and I also launched a subscription-based cloud version, so those who don't have time or not interested in self-hosting could use it too. So, what Dawarich can do for you? - It visualized your movements - You can track your movements with our iOS app (I partnered up with a friend to make it happen) or one of 3rd…

I've been trying to figure out how long feature development takes, for years. I'm not a fan of (a priori) estimations of work, which just seem like the wrong measure. I think I've got a better way. Genuinely interested if some git gurus can improve this. Particularly around the pre-push hook, which is dependent on retained squash commit text. Or if there's an entirely better way to achieve the same thing.

Hi! I'm launching https://intentions.life, a calendar designed for small habits. I used Google Calendar for 6 years, but found it hard to put small habits there, because everything takes up at least 15 minutes worth of space. It was one of the reasons my health deteriorated whenever I was too focused on writing code and talking to users for my startup. So since 2022, I spent my holidays building intentions.life. It lets me configure all my habits/chores in one place, and display them as compact bullet points. You can see the in-depth demos without logging in, and use the…

Hi Everyone, I've been working on FastMonitor.io solo for about a year now. FastMonitor monitors how fast your site is, and alerts you if it gets slower. Wanted to show it to you guys and get some feedback. Back Story: I built the basic tool kit for my previous startup - we were doing SEO and had very slow page speed across a wide variety of pages, so I ran lighthouse on an instance every day and put the results in the database and on a chart. This allowed us to chart our progress and celebrate when our pages got faster, or roll back / find the problem when things got slower. Feedback:…
