What it does

Lock USDC to a goal. Hit it and every cent returns to your wallet. Miss it and it's sent straight to the charity you chose. Fully onchain and transparent. You can add verifiers to vote on whether the goal was completed, or you can self report it. The flow goes likes this: define your goal > choose how much USDC and time to commit > choose a charity to donate to if you fail > add verifiers > Done.

Lock USDC to a goal. Hit it and every cent returns to your wallet. Miss it and it's sent straight to the charity you chose.

Lock money to your goal. Hit it and every cent comes back. Miss it and it goes to a charity you chose. You already know what you need to do. You've known for a while. The problem has never been information, motivation, or a better system. The problem is that breaking your word costs you nothing. Commit USDC to a goal you set. No wiggle room, no fine print you didn't write yourself. Daily check-ins track your progress. Your verifiers witness your work. Confirm your goal and every cent returns. Miss it and it goes directly to your charity. Shipped after 3 failed launches. $500 locked, 6 weeks. No extensions. Thirty pounds, six months. The first dead lock was $200 to a mental health charity.…from applockin.com

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
