Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built Shackle AI because every focus app I tried had the same flaw: the moment work got hard, I could just click “Close.”
Shackle is an enforcement layer, not another habit tracker. It uses on-device computer vision and window hooking to catch you looking away, grabbing your phone, or drifting to distracting apps. Get caught and you get an AI voice roast. Rack up three strikes and you land on the public Hall of Frauds while those apps get locked out.
Your face never leaves your machine. All vision processing happens locally.
Under the hood: Python FastAPI backend, a local desktop daemon, Firebase auth, and real-time telemetry sync.
I’d love for you to try it and tell me: how brutal was your first session? Downloads are on the site. I’ll be here all day answering questions and reading feedback. 🔒
