What it does
Most habit apps assume you'll show up every day forever. AlignMate assumes you'll quit by day 3, because that's what actually happens, and treats it as data instead of failure. You tell it what the scroll is costing you (sleep, focus) and the AI designs a small 7-day experiment, like "phone charges outside the bedroom after 9pm". You log each day, misses included. At the end of the week you know something real about yourself, and the next experiment adjusts to what the data showed.
Stop fighting your phone. Run one small 7-day experiment, hold to log it once a day, and see what actually worked. No streaks, no guilt. Free on iOS and Android.
Say what the scroll is costing you. A lab partner designs one small experiment, you hold to log it once a day, and on day 7 you see what actually worked. Say what the scroll is costing you.

App blockers ask for willpower against a lock you can open in three seconds. Both hand you the guilt when it slips, and neither tells you what actually loosens the pull.

A free minimalist daily habit tracker2024 · rdht.vercel.app · ▲158Hello. I was looking for a simple and clean habit tracker. I went through a few apps but felt they were missing something. I also had some time on my hands, so decided to make my own and share it in case anyone else likes it. Some of the supported features: Streaks based, track and beat your longest streaks Fully useable offline Freezes (similar to Duolingo's streak freezes) Visual map for tracking consistency Pause the app when you need a break or will be away For anyone curious about the tech stack: - React for frontend - Dexie cloud for storage and syncing - Vercel for hosting Link:…
- SLStreak.ly tracks what you do daily and I'd love feedback on the concept2010 · streak.ly · ▲54
I've been working on a side project called Streak.ly with a friend of mine for the past month or so; it's intended to help keep you motivated to do otherwise mundane daily tasks (like do 10 pushups, read for an hour, etc.) by letting you log "streaks" — consecutive days in a row of doing something. It's in private alpha/beta/gamma/whatever right now (has some rough edges to clean up), but is more or less functionally complete and pretty stable. I'm a big fan of the Seinfeld calendar, and have seen other services which do similar things but were unsatisfying to use, either from an aesthetic…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
