Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?

Re:Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use? by _kush on Wednesday December 13, 2023 @02:59AM (#38624038)

I've built a few apps which started out as tools for my own use and later polished + released for public.

- Cone: This started out as a small tool to help me identify the name of the colors of objects around me (i am a red-green colorblind). Now it's a full fledged color picker app with a Pantone license - https://cone.app

- CBVision: This is another small tool for colorblind people which shifts the problematic colors to a visible hue for easy differentiation - https://cbvisionapp.com/

- Unwind: I made this to help me with box-breathing - https://unwind.to

- LookAway: This is the latest app that I've created to help me with digital eye strain. - https://lookaway.app

Cone looks fantastic. You're going to make me buy an IPhone.

Huge fan of unwind! I have been using it for nearly a year.

Looking forward to the update. I have the quick launch on my Apple Watch face complication… where I usually use it after I had initially fined-tuned the exercises in the app. My only bit of feedback is after a session on the watch it doesn’t always consistently show the before/after HR which then doesn’t consequently update other health metrics like HRV etc.. otherwise love the app and the watch app!

Awesome work. Love your clean design and copy. Unwind has one of the best App Clip experiences I’ve seen. I’ve similarly built an app for my family to collaborate on recipes which I’ve since made public - https://umami.recipes

Cone and CBVision look amazing. I know several people who could really benefit.
