What it does

Kro locks the apps that you’ve set as distracting and after your budget is over, it makes you do exercises like pushups to unlock them. This limits your screen time and improves your health. The reason that makes it better than other apps is that it lets you trade exercise for phone time instead of just locking your apps until the next day like similar apps you just end up deleting.

The only way back in is push-ups or squats, counted live by your camera. You can't press ignore on a push-up... or a squat. Kro blocks your most distracting apps. The only way back in: push-ups or squats, counted live by your camera. No reps, no scroll. Every blocker has a back door: a "15 more minutes" button, a settings toggle, an honor-system check-in. You found it by day three. Kro's only back door is on the floor. HOW IT WORKS • Pick the apps that eat your nights and set a daily budget • Spend it,…from apps.apple.com

    I built an app where you LITERALLY have to do push-ups to use Reddit (or whatever app). My guy, this is the summer you get SWOLE! Build a massive chest instead of doomscrolling on Hackernews. Also, it's FREE. You can set it on a schedule. You can set it on a time limit. You can set it after X opens. Or even after you come home from work. The apps will remain blocked until you do your push-ups! The app is built natively on SwiftUI. I use Apple's native Vision API to detect body parts and joints. I use Apple's Screen Time API for app blocking. I don't know what else to say so go on now and get…

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…
