What it does
OwnHour is a calm Android app and site blocker. Set schedules, limits and protected rules for apps, websites, keywords, adult content and short-form feeds, with privacy-first accountability and no shame-driven streaks.
Block apps, sites and keywords. Protect your focus and get your hours back. OwnHour holds the limits you set, with accountability that fits how much help you want.
OwnHour blocks the apps and sites that pull you away, holds your limits when willpower dips, and hands the hour back to you. Calm by design — no streaks, no shaming, no guesswork. Set it once on a clear-headed morning. It keeps working at 11pm, when the pull is strongest. Apps, sites, whole domains, single keywords and adult content. YouTube Safe Search stays on, whether or not anyone is watching. Give an app twenty minutes a day. Close the feeds after ten. Keep mornings clear until you’ve had coffee. Gentle when you want a nudge you can step past. Strict when you mean it — the session ends when the clock says so. Every blocked moment tells you three things: what happened, whose rule it…from ownhour.app

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. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
