Show HN: Lock In – A goal Mac tracker controlled by typed commands

https://www.letslockin.xyz/
2•TedOS•2h ago
I built a task/goal tracker where the entire UI is one input field.

The idea: your goals live in four quadrants (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly). Everything happens through commands. The app docks to the side of your screen.

Adding a goal:

/d 50 pushups

Chain them:

/d 50 pushups /w 3 gym sessions /m finish project /y learn piano

Updating progress:

Create an alias with /alias p pushups, then just type 25 p to add 25. Three characters.

Review your week with /review 7d. Rename goals, change targets, convert between quadrants—all through commands.

Each quadrant auto-resets at the right interval (daily at midnight, weekly on Monday, etc). You don't manage anything.

Why I built it this way: I kept bouncing between productivity apps looking for something faster. Nothing stuck because they all wanted me to click through menus and organise things. I just wanted to type and move on.

So I made something deliberately constrained. One input. Four quadrants. No settings screen. No integrations. The lack of features is the point.

Curious what the HN crowd thinks—especially if the command syntax feels intuitive or too obscure. Still iterating.
