Thesis Lock
Lock your investment thesis before hindsight rewrites it.
What it does
Thesis Lock records the reasoning behind an investment, not just its outcome. Users lock their original thesis, assumptions, catalysts, risks, capital limits and exit rules before hindsight can rewrite them. Later reviews create time-stamped versions, while transparent rules flag thesis drift as Stable, Review Required or Thesis Broken. It works fully offline with no accounts, subscriptions, AI, broker connections, telemetry or cloud storage.
Thesis Lock is an offline investment-thesis discipline tool for research-driven investors who want to make decisions against a written plan rather than memory, emotion or hindsight.

Create a structured investment thesis covering the core rationale, assumptions, catalysts, risks, capital boundaries and explicit ADD, REDUCE and EXIT rules. Once the baseline is locked, Thesis Lock preserves

Show HN: Perceptions - Better investment results by avoiding behavioral pitfalls Hi All, I’ve been working with a team of institutional investors to develop a product (called "Perceptions") that allows an investor to create a thesis (reasoning) for an investment and then add measurement criteria, confidence level as the thesis evolves. It ensures you stay true to the reason you bought the shares and avoid behavioural pitfalls. It gives you nudges when it looks like you are making a behavioural error. The goal is to allow investors to organise their reasoning behind an investment, what’s…

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.
