I built a tiny open-source tool because starting was harder than the work

Описание и применение

StartTiny — это простое, локальное приложение для борьбы с прокрастинацией, которое позволяет пользователям быстро начать работу, используя гибкие таймеры и простые задачи.

Задача

Users struggle to begin tasks because the first action feels too big, leading to procrastination.

Результат

StartTiny reduces the barrier to starting tasks by offering a simple, local-first interface with customizable timers and task prompts, helping users overcome initial procrastination.

Рабочий процесс

• Open the StartTiny web page in a browser
• Add a task with optional priority and deadline
• Choose a timer interval (e.g., 10/2 or 25/5)
• Click start to begin the focus session
• Use the private brain dump to jot distractions
• When the timer ends, mark the task as complete or continue with the next task

Доказательства

StartTiny is built around that first two minutes.
