Show HN: AppTimer an open source tool to limit app usage and boost productivity
Hi HN, I’ve created AppTimer, a simple cli tool made to help you manage your time more effectively by limiting how long you use specific applications. If you’ve ever found yourself losing track of time while using an app or want to improve your focus during work, this might be helpful for you.
Features:
- Launch any application from the CLI and set a time limit.
- Automatically terminates the application after the specified time.
- Simple and lightweight, built with Go.
Use Cases
- Curbing screen time addiction by setting limits on entertainment apps.
- Enhancing focus by controlling distractions during work hours.
I’d love to hear your feedback, suggestions, or ideas for improvement. Contributions are also welcome
This is my first ever solo project so help would be reallyyy appreciated
- breck 2y agoI would flush out your github profile a little more. Get a personal homepage going. A twitter. I don't think this AppTimer app will be anywhere closer to your big hit, but I think you will have those in the future! Great start.
