Clinch

What it does

A ~15s mindful moment between you and Instagram, TikTok, and the apps that pull at you — breath, puzzle, fact, rotated so it never gets stale. Then it asks: what brought you here? Pro ($1.99/mo · $14.99/yr · $39.99 lifetime): unlimited apps, all 6 interceptors, Coach (patterns → one-tap blocks), hard-block scheduler. iOS 17+. No account, no cloud — stays on your phone.

Clinch intercepts every open of Instagram, TikTok, and the apps that pull at you with a ~15-second mindful moment. Then asks: what brought you here? Aggregate stats only, anonymous.

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes▲1,181

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
