This is really cool! I know developing apple apps is expensive, how can I donate?
Thats so kind! No need to donate, just use the app and give me any feedback. I love developing things like this!

#76Earlier quoted context omitted.
Saw there's a "Support Us" option in the app for $2. Will do that!
That is so kind! Feel free to share it around. Appreciate the support!
Ofc. Not sure if this was inspired by the thread on non-distracting products, but you could try plugging over there too [0]. Hope you're enjoying the HackerNews high today

#79By the way, you can trigger iOS shortcuts with NFC tags, so in principle you can trigger any functionality exposed as a Shortcut action. However, NFC recognition doesn’t always work as smoothly as one would hope.
Yeah 100% I think I commented this somewhere else as well. Your phone already has this natively built in, you don't need any of these apps at all.
Over the break I wanted to build something that was gonna make this easier for myself. I built it and made it totally free and open source. I don't see a competitive advantage, but just a fun challenge for myself to build and get this type of app reviewed.
Maybe I'll write a blog post about the apple review submission because that was a not fun lol
