We build one free app a month. You bring the problem.
What it does
BuildForFree ships one free web app a month for a real organization with a real workflow problem. Not a chatbot draft. A hosted tool your team can log into in fourteen days after we have access and answers. Apply with a short form. We pick one. You get a working MVP. We get a public case study.
We build one free app a month for a real organization with a real workflow problem. Fourteen days to a hosted, tested MVP. You pay in access, feedback, and a public case study.
No pitch decks. No “Uber for X.” A hosted tool your team can log into — tested against the real workflow, not a chatbot draft you still have to finish. If selected, we ship in fourteen days after we have access, sample data, and a decision-maker. You get a live, tested app. We get a case study and a testimonial. If it needs payments, HIPAA, or a two-sided marketplace, skip it. This is the filter. If any of these are a problem, do not apply. A working web app for one workflow, hosted and tested with your actual process. Not a file. Not a conversation. Fourteen days after we have login, sample data, and answers. Past performance and proof. We want real problems, not ideas…from getbuildforfree.com

I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
