What it does
Handover blocks the apps you choose: hard blocks, daily minute budgets, timed sessions, or unlocks you earn by walking, breathing, meditating, or scanning a barcode at home. The twist: there is always a way out, but it costs part of your streak, and the price is shown before you pay it. No lockouts you cannot escape, just a deliberate cost. Free for a full week with every rule type on. No ads, no analytics, no tracking, account optional. Built by one person in Australia.

Using the free version of the app and like how easy it was to setup rules. No complaints so far. Using the free version of the app and like how easy it was to setup rules. No complaints so far. A daily budget is now spent in five minute blocks. Press Start and you have five minutes. When they are up the shield comes back and asks whether you want to keep going; answering it buys the next block. If you have already put the phone down and nobody answers, only a minute is charged, and a shield you close without going in costs nothing at all. Time left is shown in whole minutes rather than seconds, because minutes are the precision the figure actually has. When your Welcome Week ends, your…from apps.apple.com

- DIDiscipline.io – Make binding commitments to your better self2023 · discipline.io · ▲87
Hi HN, It's super hard to quit addicting apps. Existing solutions are non-binding, and therefore, require constant self-discipline and vigilance to be effective. Which is ironic, considering the problem we are trying to solve, is a lack of self-discipline. There exists a physical solution to this problem, in the form of a time-locked safe[1]. It’s effective for reducing app usage, but it's cumbersome and inconvenient. Fundamentally, what these lock-boxes do is impose a real-world cost on breaking your commitment. It’s not impossible to break your commitment, but it would require destroying…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

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…
