Show HN: your personal, self-built productivity tool

21 points| westiseast | 13 years ago | reply

Care to share a screenshot and the 'killer feature' of any of your personal, self-built productivity tools? eg. I made my own calendar and money-tracker last year - there are no other users, it makes no money, I have no plans to make it public, but it holds my life together :)

Absolutely no ulterior motive here (ie. I'm not canvassing opinions for a productivity app startup or anything), just interested.

More of an anti-productivity tool, but I built a small app to manage my TV watching queue because I wasn't happy with any of the 5+ alternatives I tried.

The "Killer Feature" is really the lack of features: all the other tv episode tracking guides have a bunch of Social crap, cover art, or lacked a unified queue. All I wanted was a single queue of episodes that automatically gets added to when new stuff airs.
