Terminal-first productivity system for focused builders

What it does

LockedIn is a modular, terminal-based productivity system built for developers who prefer focus over clutter. Unlike traditional task managers with heavy UIs, LockedIn runs entirely in the CLI and stores data locally using JSON. It’s lightweight, scriptable, and extensible. Designed for builders who live in the terminal, it removes distractions and keeps workflow fast, structured, and intentional.

A modular, Bash-based productivity powerhouse. Manage tasks, track projects, and analyze your growth—all without leaving your terminal. ██╗ ██████╗ ██████╗ ██╗ ██╗ ███████╗ ██████╗ ██╗ ███╗ ██╗ ██║ ██╔═══██╗ ██╔════╝ ██║ ██╔╝ ██╔════╝ ██╔══██╗ ██║ ████╗ ██║ ██║ ██║ ██║ ██║ █████╔╝ █████╗ ██║ ██║ ██║ ██╔██╗ ██║ ██║ ██║ ██║ ██║ ██╔═██╗ ██╔══╝ ██║ ██║ ██║ ██║╚██╗██║ ███████╗╚██████╔╝ ╚██████╗ ██║ ██╗ ███████╗ ██████╔╝ ██║ ██║ ╚████║ ╚══════╝ ╚═════╝ ╚═════╝ ╚═╝ ╚═╝ ╚══════╝ ╚═════╝ ╚═╝ ╚═╝ ╚═══╝ [1] Task Management [2] Project Board [3] Today's Focus [4] Statistics [5] Exit Selection: _ Built for Speed.

    Hey HN, you may have seen me post about Lock In recently—it's a minimalist task management HUD that sits silently on your desktop. It gained some traction for its Mac version, and as of today, it's finally available for Windows. The idea remains the same: productivity apps are often click-heavy databases that feel like administrative work. Lock In is designed as an "execution engine"—a small, transparent window that forces you to focus on doing. It works entirely via slash commands. E.g., /d 100 pushups, /lockin 1h. What's new in this release: Windows Support: Fully native builds…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
