while²
CRON JOBS, FOR HUMANS.
$3.49 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
# while²
A recurring task reminder for iOS. Cron jobs, for humans.
## Overview
AI is amazing. What a time.
And yet, I find myself staring at the monitor all day. I thought work would shrink — instead, I'm busier than ever, babysitting the AI agents I run in parallel. Even in bed, I can't put the phone down — firing /rc commands.
Meanwhile, life tasks slip quietly to the back. I cut my hair only after it's overgrown. I do laundry only when there's nothing left to wear. The toothbrush... when did I last swap it?
It hit me: if AI runs my work, why not let a program run my life? Hoping this idea resonates with as many people as possible.
