What it does
Monk stops you right before you open distracting apps. Using science-backed methods of craving delay and habit stacking, it turns screen-time urges into mindful actions. Build better habits every time you reach for your phone.
Monk keeps distracting apps locked until you do real habits, earn Monk Coins, and spend them to unlock screen time you actually earned.
Monk keeps Instagram, TikTok, and other distracting apps locked until you do real habits, earn Monk Coins, and spend them to unlock screen time you actually earned. Your favorite apps are built to pull you back in. Deleting them, using blockers, or telling yourself to stop only says what not to do. Monk gives you something better to do instead. Monk turns screen time into habit time. Less mindless scrolling. More of the things you actually want to do. Instagram, TikTok, X and more stay locked until you earn time. Walk, meditate, work out — real habits fill your wallet up to 100 coins. Pick 1 to 15 minutes and hold to unlock. One coin equals one minute. You earned it. Calm your mind, focus…from monk.zone

I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Autism Simulator▲779Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
