What it does
I built Away: Focus Timer because I realized I was picking up my phone dozens of times a day without any reason. Instead of blocking apps or forcing productivity, Away simply replaces that moment with a quiet timer. Every time you reach for your phone, you pause and ask yourself: “Do I really need this right now?” It’s a small psychological shift that helped me use my phone less - and I hope it helps others too.

Away is a nice app. It has a clean UI with no extra stuff that you didn’t ask for, and it works to reframe the idea that instead of you looking at how much time you wasted in the Screen Time settings you can see how much time you’ve saved that you otherwise would’ve lost!

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…
