Prostir – A calm productivity app to plan without burnout

Hacker News

Hi HN, I’ve been working on Prostir, a simple productivity app that helps you plan your day, capture thoughts, and build habits — without feeling overwhelmed. The idea came from personal frustration: most tools either try to do everything or feel too rigid. I wanted something calmer — a space to think, not just check things off. So I built Prostir using Swift + SwiftUI, with focus on speed, minimalism, and offline support. I’ve been building Prostir, a mindful productivity app that helps you organize your day, jot down thoughts, and build healthy habits — without getting overwhelmed. It’s already available on the App Store and has gone through a few iterations based on early feedback. The goal has always been the same: to create a calm and simple space for planning, especially for people who find traditional task managers too rigid or stressful. Prostir is free to try, and if anyone here wants to explore the premium features, I made a promo code specifically for the HN community: Use promo code in appstore: "HACKERNEWS" Prostir: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/daily-planner-prostir/id653569... Would really appreciate your thoughts or impressions. Always learning from how others approach building focused, human-friendly apps. Would love your feedback or ideas — especially if you’ve built something similar or tried calming productivity tools before. Thanks for checking it out!
