Show HN: Free and Open Source Anti-Procrastination App

Hi I'm Joel, a 26 year old developer from Argentina, just finishing up my CS degree.

This is my first open-source app, I wrote it as a side project from my main startup that I'm trying to get off the ground. I've always been really into productivity and making the most out of each day (even to the point of tracking every hour over the past year) and figuring out when I'm making progress and when I get distracted or side tracked.

So I came up with the idea of an app that would ping you at random times through the day to check whether you're procrastinating or not, and if you were, ask you to log the reason why. My idea being that being aware and tracking something could help you step back and figure out the reasons it happens. I've read studies that those who are prompted to reflect each day on something (eg what they ate and why) tend to do better, so hopefully this app helps in a similar way.

The app itself is free, there's only a couple links to my main startup in there that you can ignore. I plan to add more login types (eg email or none) later if there's enough demand. The logins are for cloud sync so you can use on multiple devices or in case you lose a device.

For tech stack, I'm using React Native and Firebase, since these are the tools I'll be using on my main project too.

Appreciate any feedback or requests!

I’m a fan of these low friction approaches like this, I’ve implemented a few of them for various purposes but in the end I always end up ignoring them after a couple of weeks or so.

It would be awesome if you could create a version for F-Droid. If not, that's understandable. This looks really cool!

Procrastinating is normal.

What's abnormal is the fear of not being productive or competitive.
