PulseFocus
Pomodoro timer that actually blocks distracting apps
What it does
PulseFocus combines the proven Pomodoro technique with iOS Screen Time to actually block apps during focus sessions. Not just willpower—real enforcement. Set up per-tag blocking lists (block social media for Work, games for Study). Track your streaks, view detailed stats, and watch your focus habits improve over time. Features: • App blocking via Screen Time API • Dynamic Island & Lock Screen timer • Custom session presets & tags • Daily streaks & statistics • Beautiful minimal dark UI

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
