Hey PH 👋 I'm Sangkwon — solo founder of Dayli
Non-technical founder from Seoul, Korea.
6 months ago I was spending 4+ hours a day on Instagram and YouTube instead of doing things I actually cared about.
I tried every productivity app out there. Deleted them all within 3 days.
Not because I lacked discipline — but because restriction alone never works.
You just unblock the app and move on.
So I had one idea:
What if you couldn't open Instagram until you actually earned it?
I taught myself enough to build it. Shipped iOS + Android solo.
No team. No funding. No technical background.
That's Dayli.
Complete your goals → AI verifies your effort → earn screen time → unlock your apps.
Today is Day 1 on Product Hunt. And I'm genuinely using my own app every single day.
Happy to answer anything — about the product, the build, or what it's like shipping solo from scratch. 👇

Wow, Sangkwon, love the idea of earning screen time … that's such a clever twist on productivity! Building Dayli solo and shipping iOS + Android is seriously impressive. I’m building an AI‑powered flashcard tool called The Sponge that helps lock in knowledge the same way you lock in screen time. If you’re up for it, I’m launching on PH soon … would appreciate a follow (See PRODUCT HUNT LAUNCH Link in my profile).
