I built an app that locks my fun apps until I finish the boring ones

Wait 5 sec.

Every app blocker I tried lost to my own arguing. "Just five more minutes" works every time when the blocker is a suggestion. So I made one that isn't a suggestion. Habits and tasks pay minutes into a time bank. The apps I mark as leisure stay locked until the balance covers them. Do the dishes, earn 15 minutes. Skip them, no scrolling. Android, Kotlin + Compose, GPL-3.0. No account, no server, no analytics, and no INTERNET permission at all – it's one local database on the phone. Started as a personal tool, I'm still the only user, and it's v0.1: https://github.com/cloph-dsp/earnd Some things it does that I wanted: partial credit for a half-done task, a comeback bonus after time away, and a hard mode with no easy exit from the lock screen.   submitted by   /u/kastru [link]   [comments]
