Alexey here. Like many of you, I have a "public" email for my SaaS. And like many of you, my morning routine used to start with 20 minutes of deleting:
"Quick question..." (Sales pitch)
"Partnership opportunity..." (Link exchange)
"URGENT INVOICE" (Phishing)
I calculated I was spending ~70 hours a year just triaging spam. That's two weeks of dev time lost. Existing filters (Gmail, Outlook) work after the email hits my inbox. I wanted something that stops it before.
I ve been building desktop apps for years, and I ve realized I really enjoy focusing on desktop over web or mobile. Frameworks like Squirrel .NET make updates smooth, but the reasons I prefer desktop go deeper than just convenience.
Two less obvious benefits for me:
User data stays on the user s PC I don t need to worry about security, privacy, or building complex backend systems. I can focus on features instead of infrastructure.
Low ongoing costs I don t need expensive servers to keep things running. If I lose interest or shift focus, the app doesn t go offline; it can keep working, and I can return whenever I want.
Headline: InBucket - Pre-CRM for small teams/Ringfence you inbox by client
I manage around 20 clients and my inbox was overwhelming. I tried setting rules etc. but it never worked so I just built inbucket to try and solve my problem.
The real power of a tracking tool isn't just in responding to alerts it's in using the data to create positive, safer routines for your family. Let's shift from reactive to proactive.
Review Patterns, Not Just Pinpoints: Instead of just checking "where are they now?", occasionally review the weekly timeline together. Notice consistent patterns: "Your commute home usually takes 25 minutes. If it ever takes 45 on a normal day, that's a sign to check in."
Geofence for Routines, Not Just Control: Use geofences as positive confirmations. An "Arrived at Soccer Practice" alert isn't surveillance it's a signal that the afternoon plan is on track, eliminating the need for the disruptive "did you get there?" texts. Number Tracker allows for these positive, low-friction notifications.
What a productive couple of days . In just 2.5 days I was able to implement an Email Sequence Automation feature for my email marketing platform project(simplomail.com).
was mostly researching, thinking, planning, and writing the specification.
We built Zack because we were tired of task managers that just store lists. Most productivity tools stop at organization. AI assistants stop at suggestions. But real life isn t about storing tasks, it s about finishing them.
Zack is a life-execution app. It helps you move from intention to completion.
Instead of static lists, Zack highlights what matters next and lets you act immediately: Turn emails into tasks Draft and send replies Manage follow-ups Book flights and hotels Reserve restaurants Find gifts or experiences
No switching between apps. No bouncing between tabs. Just progress.
As a founder, I saw how expensive and slow traditional jewelry photography is, often costing brands 20k- 50k per shoot. I built JewelViz to change that.
