I'm building https://timeguard.io https://timeguard.io, which is an iOS app that acts like HN's "noprocrast" setting but for the entire internet.
You pick distracting sites/apps to block, and then you choose when to pause the block and access them. I've found that little extra bit of friction in checking FB/HN/Twitter is enough to keep me far more concentrated and present throughout the day. Would love feedback from other HN users!
- danenania 9y agoHey Kyle, this looks nice. I use RescueTime[1] for this purpose on desktop, but since it doesn't easily interop with mobile/other devices, it's still easy to slip into procrastination by pulling out the phone. I'll try TimeGuard as a way to fill the gap. For me, the killer feature for this type of tool would be a blanket anti-procrastination mode that works across all devices. Maybe it could even make sense to integrate somehow at the router level? 1 - https://www.rescuetime.com/ https://www.rescuetime.com/
