Essential Habits

Build Consistency: Habits, Tasks, Goals and Notes in one app

What it does

Essential Habits turns habits, tasks, goals and notes into one simple daily screen. Check in with a single tap, and every day earns an honest score that colors your calendar like a heatmap. Most habit apps are either gamified toys or spreadsheets wearing an app icon. Essential Habits is neither, it's a private local-first app with one job: helping you build consistency, day after day. Made by an indie developer, feedback are welcome. 🚀

    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…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
