Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS. I love the way that Free Time prompts you to do something before unlocking an app you have blocked. my scrolling on instagram went way down immediately after downloading it. the only improvement i would suggest is that sometimes the blocked app doesn’t get locked the first time you switch back to Free Time using the notification, and you have to re-open or go back to Free Time for it to lock the app, but not a huge deal. Hi! I'm so happy to hear that you're loving Free time. Thank you for catching this bug! I'm working on solving it right now and will have it fixed for the next build :)-Nicole I love the way that Free…from apps.apple.com

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
