Show HN: Focus timer that turns hours into assetshttps://seton.run/# The ProblemYou probably spend a lot of time on screens.If time is money, the hours we spend are capital expenditures. We should be careful about how we allocate them, because they're the capital we have.Peter Drucker said: *The first step toward executive effectiveness is to record actual time-use.*But it's not easy. We generally track time on the spot with a timer, or just a clock. It doesn't give us a sense of long-term progress.Most timers on app stores have limited features, such as pomodoro. Some apps are too complicated. We don't need calendar or team features, which sacrifice simplicity for personal use.# The SolutionThat's why I built Seton - a focus timer that visualizes your time spent like an asset you’ve invested.https://seton.run/All you need to do is press "Start" for the activity you're working on. The activity can be reading, writing, meditation, or anything else.When you complete a focus session in the app, it accumulates. You can look back on your time spent with chJan 10, 2026 4:26 AM

Show HN: Bringing back a classic square face generatorhttps://squareface.art/Years ago there was a small Flash toy I really loved — a simple “square face” avatar generator made by a Japanese artist. You could mix eyes, hair, and expressions and quickly make a cute square profile icon. It was everywhere on forums and blogs back in the day. Someone complains the old SWF doesn't work on her device,so I decide to rebuild it. That’s why I made SquareFace.art — a browser-based square face generator inspired by the original Flash version. No plugins, no installs, just open the page and start customizing.The goal wasn’t to modernize it too much, but to keep the same playful, lightweight feeling:Pick face partsMix and match stylesDownload your square face iconWorks on phones, tablets, and desktopIt’s mostly a nostalgia project, but also a small attempt to preserve a bit of early web creativity that used to be very common and now feels rare.If you remember tools like this, I think you’ll know the feeling — simple, fun, and surprisingly sticky.Here’s the site: https://squJan 9, 2026 1:36 PM

Show HN: On-device natural language search for your iPhone photoshttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/momento-find-every-photo/id6743543299Hey HN,I built Momento, an iOS app that lets you search your photo library using natural language.I started working on this because I was frustrated with Apple Photos search (especially when I did not remember when or where I made the photo) and it often took a lot of time to find a specific old photo.Momento performs a one-time local index of your photo library and then lets you search using queries like “woman with red hair and a dog by the river”. It returns matching photos from your library.All processing happens on-device using Core ML. Photos aren’t uploaded anywhere, and search works offline. It's Apple-only for now.I initially built this for myself, showed it to a few friends, and after getting feedback decided to polish it and release it publicly.The app is freemium, free to use for the most recent year of photos with the fastest model and a paid unlock for the whole library and more accurate models.As this is the first public version I'd love to have feedback on UI/UX as wellJan 9, 2026 10:40 AM
