What it does

Most apps that track loved ones feel invasive — location sharing, read receipts, constant pings. Dot Okay does the opposite. One green dot means they opened the app today. That’s the entire signal. No location. No messages. No pressure on either person. It’s the first app built purely for quiet reassurance — not communication, not tracking. Just knowing someone’s okay.

    Hey HN, I've had this idea stuck in my head ever since I published Year in Pixels [1]. I've been adding a little thing here and there to this app, and now it feels nice enough to share. It's very interesting what daily tracking does to one's mind. While I already have apps to track everything else like sleep, heart rate, etc., I was still missing something to track my mood. The simple act of thinking about how you feel a couple of times a day already changes things. A moment of reflection. I opted to add Astrology, Checks (habits), and other goodies. Hope you like it as much as I do. Best,…

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
