iOS Screen Time is a fantastic app blocker because it's built into the OS, unlike third party apps that can simply be uninstalled. The only problem is that it uses a 4 digit passcode. If I set the passcode myself, I can always override my app limits by tapping ignore limit and entering the screetime passcode. So I built WaitToUnlock.com. It's a simple website that generates a random ScreenTime passcode and guides you through entering it in a deliberately confusing way (for example: "enter 3, enter 7 + 2, delete it, now enter 5..."), making it very difficult to remember the final code. The pas…

Certain logos started standing out to me on LinkedIn as brighter/whiter than everything else around them. I dug in and found out this is accomplished by adding a gain-map to an existing JPEG, visible only on HDR screens like a newer MacBook Pro. LinkedIn is the only social network I've found that isn't stripping them out, but of course you serve them up on your own site. I worked with Claude Code to turn it into a little browser-based utility (no registration) and hope you find it useful!
