What it does

Notifications vanish the moment you swipe them — then you forget anyway. Mada is different: your reminder lives on your lock screen as a Live Activity and stays there until you tap Done. Built for the small recurring things that matter — medication, plants, family calls. One tap to complete, right from the lock screen. No accounts, no ads, no analytics SDKs; the core app stays on your device. iPhone, iOS 17+. Not a to-do app — just a forget-proof layer for what matters.

Mada is a persistent iPhone lock-screen reminder that stays visible until you tap Done. Built for medication, vitamins, plants, and small recurring habits you keep forgetting. iOS 17+ Live Activity. No accounts, no ads.

Mada stays on your lock screen until you tap Done. So you never have to wonder. Live Activity keeps your reminder visible until you actually tap Done — no more swipe-and-forget. Done lives on the lock screen, not three taps into the app. Dynamic Island works too. 10 minutes, 30 minutes, tonight, tomorrow, or pick your own time. One tap fromfrom mada.ddugddag.net

Mom Clock is a reminder app that behaves more like a strict parent than a productivity coach: – no snoozing – no “later” – optional app blocking using Screen Time APIs The idea came from my own behavior: I don’t need motivation — I need enforcement. This is not for everyone. Some people hate it. Some people love it. I’m genuinely curious where HN stands on this tradeoff: comfort vs. effectiveness. Happy to answer questions about: –…

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
