What it does
MadFocus is an iPhone app blocker for people who ignore polite Screen Time reminders. When you open a blocked app, it calls out the excuse with tough-love copy. If you still want to scroll, complete one of six unlock challenges: read aloud, type a confession, face yourself, watch a life countdown, review your goal, or finish an ultimatum video. Choose a style for work, study, fitness, or discipline, set a short access window, and get back to what matters.

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. 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.
