Re:Show HN: Giraffocus – iOS app blocker with a mindful pause on Friday September 26, 2025 @03:12PM (#45389969)
We all know the feeling: you unlock your phone for “just a second” and lose 20 minutes (or even more!). Giraffocus interrupts that cycle with a gentle mindful pause, so you can catch yourself and save hours each week.

I built Giraffocus for myself, to stop doomscrolling. The mindful pause gives you a few seconds to reconsider whether you really want to open the app.

I’d be super happy if you tried the app. Any feedback is more than welcome!

Hi,I started looking at software engineering jobs at Apple. It looks like most of them are regarding positions in the US.Do you know if Apple is currently hiring developers who work remotely? I'm located in Europe and to be honest relocation to the US right now might be a bit tough due to COVID.

A product based company creates their own products, e.g: Spotify, Sumo Logic, Twitter.

What isn't a product company? Agencies, software houses, e.g: EPAM.
