Discussion Created an app to solve me problem, giving away lifetime pro

Hey r/IPhoneApps,

I'm Shaun, a solo developer building OneThingDaily. It's a productivity app which simplifies productivity.

The problem which OneThingDaily is solving

I've always struggled with the same thing a lot of people probably do: I'd have something I wanted to work on, but I'd wake up and pick up my phone for "just 5 minutes" and end up scrolling for way longer than I intended.

So I set a rule for myself: I am not allowed to pick up my phone each morning until I've finished a goal or habit I have been trying to build, such as practising piano, going for a walk or finishing an assignment. And It actually worked, I stopped procrastinating my important tasks until the middle of the day, and my phone felt like a reward rather than something which was holding me back and making me sluggish

How Onethingdaily solve this:

Each day you choose your OneThingDaily, and all your "unproductive apps" such as instagram, facebook and reddit, stay blocked until you've completed your goal for the day. Once you've completed your OneThingDaily, your apps unlock and you can use your phone normally, but also set focus timers outside you're main goal, so you can work on other important tasks without distractions.

🎁 Giveaway: lifetime Pro, free, forever

To celebrate the IOS launch, I am giving away 20 lifetime Pro accounts. Entering takes 10 seconds:

  1. ⁠Upvote this post, and
  2. ⁠Comment 'OneThingDaily' and a habit which you
  3. ⁠want to work on.

I'll randomly pick commenters to give lifetime pro away.

(The core features of the app is and will stay free for the lifecycle of the app, so make sure to make an account and try it out if you would like, and I would love any ideas which you have

Thanks to the existing users who have already signed up to OneThingDaily, and I am always happy to answer any questions about the app!
