Ask HN: Share you personal favorite productivity tools, workflows or setup

5 points·yashness··6 comments

Share your personal favorite tools/workflows/setup. It could be a webapp, mobile app, automation, workflows or a setup!

I’ve been using Gistr, a tool my team and I are building. It helps me save links (articles, YouTube videos, etc.) and jot down key takeaways or generate AI summaries on top of them. Kind of a mix between bookmarking and active note-taking.

What I like most is that it makes the content I consume more “actionable” I can revisit important points easily or share the insights if needed. It’s still early, but it’s become part of my daily reading + research workflow.

Which llm do you use for your AI features and how do you deploy them?

Currently we are using gemini

I’m building a mobile app with called Routin with my based that helps people track and improve their daily lives — from tasks and habits to health, fitness, finances, and creativity. It gives you AI-powered insights and uses gamification to make self-improvement feel rewarding, not overwhelming.

My personal productivity setup is pretty simple:

I group my day into focused blocks (work, exercise, writing, etc.)

I track each block in Routin to reflect and stay consistent

I get weekly insights that help me spot patterns and improve gradually

I’m currently looking for a sales/marketing co-founder who’s passionate about productivity and wants to help grow something meaningful. If that’s you or someone you know, I’d love to chat! ace[@]angelofpc[dot].com

I wrote a blog post about this a wee while back - whaddayathink?

I use Black Screen (https://blackscreen1.com/) for personal productivity. I use it to make periodic breaks and that makes me a lot more productive, especially when I feel tired.
