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.

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 built Recode because I realized I was spending 8-10 hours a day on my phone pretty consistently.

Anyways, since it worked for me I felt like sharing it. App store link:…
