I built a tool to automate repetitive tasks by recording my screen
Hi HN, I'm excited to share ClickRepeat, a tool I've been building to tackle the tedious, repetitive tasks we all face on our computers. The core idea is simple: you record yourself performing a task once (clicking, typing, navigating apps), and ClickRepeat's AI learns the workflow. Then, you can replay that exact automation anytime, locally or eventually in the cloud. Think of it like creating macros by demonstration, without needing to write scripts or deal with complex RPA setups. For example, you could automate: - Generating weekly reports by pulling data from different apps/sites.…

Click2Minimize2025 · idemfactor.com · ▲8Hi HN, I'm the developer behind MyRephra. To be honest, I built this tool for myself, born from a deep frustration with the current state of AI writing assistants. Like many of you, I live in my text editors, word pages, and web forms. I found that despite the boom in built-in AI, they were actively fighting my workflow: * The Constant Context Switching: The biggest flow-killer. Why should I have to highlight, copy, open, find the tab, paste, click a button, wait, then copy and paste back? It's a dozen steps for one thought. * The Black Box Problem: Where is my text going? Is it being…
nudge2.0Jul 2026 · nudgetaskai.com · ▲107Hey HN! Nudge captures your screen every minute and uses GPT-4o to detect when you're distracted. Describe what you want to work on ("Review PRs on GitHub for 20min") and Nudge will alert when it sees you doing something else. I built Nudge because I get easily distracted at work. I've been using it for a few weeks and I'd say my procrastination is down 20-30%. (That's partly because Nudge forces me to break my day into small, concrete activities.) The AI detection can work perfectly but it depends on how clearly you describe your goal. For example, "I want to reply to my boss" is bad, but…
- IBI built a tool for repeatable checklists2024 · steplist.app · ▲117
For a long time (after devouring Atul Gawande’s The Checklist Manifesto), I've noticed a gap in the productivity tool market—most tools don't cater well to repeatable checklists. Task managers handle one-off tasks effectively, but falter with routines. On the other hand, project management software often feels overly complex. What I wanted was in the Goldilocks Zone between Todoist and Jira. For my own personal use, I created StepList. I've used it to assist and track workouts, my daily workday, software deployment and setup, household management, and more. Over the last year I've prepared…

Tapflow 2.0▲1,125We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
