This could seriously be a good commercial product!


Hey, don't beat me to the punch! I thought about it right after posting too, that might have to be my next side project.


I was gonna say drop your twitter, then the irony hit me


Let us know when we can preorder or subscribe for updates :)


+1 on buying this, time for a Kickstarter!


If you're serious about this, go through Crowd Supply rather than Kickstarter or IGG.

They take a larger cut but are much more hands on with the marketing, and this kind of project would be right up their alley.

Couldn't recommend them more after my own experience with them as a 21 year old fresh grad.


Yea I'd buy this


same, i want to get notified when released


I’m all for tangible, tactical solutions to problems that are currently enabled by software. For example, a phone tells the time, but it’s not always as straight forward as looking at a clock.


If only one could buy a clock, or watch.


I can see parents wanting to use it.


While it's not exactly the same, there's an app called "Self Control" on macOS that blocks selected websites for chosen amount of time, and after it is engaged it is virtually impossible for you to disable the block until the timer runs out. I use it a lot.

I would buy this.


This exists as a commercial product (e.g. Freedom App), but you can just as easily add buttons and switches to a Home Assistant setup that does the same thing.


I would invest in this
