Show HN: Lock In – A command-line style productivity HUD (now on Windows)

https://www.letslockin.xyz/
1•TedOS•16h ago
Hey HN, you may have seen me post about Lock In recently—it's a minimalist task management HUD that sits silently on your desktop.

It gained some traction for its Mac version, and as of today, it's finally available for Windows.

The idea remains the same: productivity apps are often click-heavy databases that feel like administrative work. Lock In is designed as an "execution engine"—a small, transparent window that forces you to focus on doing.

It works entirely via slash commands. E.g., /d 100 pushups, /lockin 1h.

What's new in this release:

Windows Support: Fully native builds (installer + portable). Cross-Platform Hotkeys: Ctrl+/ (Win) or Cmd+/ (Mac) summons it instantly.

Rollover Review: when a day resets, you get a modal to Keep, Defer, or Drop unfinished tasks.

Undo System: Fearless editing with 20 levels of undo.

I built this because I wanted something that felt more like a terminal utility and less like project management software. Would love to hear your feedback on the Windows build or the workflow philosophy.
