Pausee

What it does

I built Pausee after realizing I was spending 8–9 hours a day on my phone, mostly opening Instagram, YouTube and other distracting apps without even thinking about it. Instead of completely blocking them, Pausee adds a short pause before you open them, giving you a moment to decide if you actually want to continue. It also has scroll stopping, usage windows and mindfulness prompts. My screen time dropped to around 3–4 hours. Now I'm making it free for anyone who wants to try it.

  OwnTime – a chess clock for your day's priorities▲110

  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.
