Lightscreen: A voice agent for cheating-proof tech screens
Right now, Lightscreen is narrowly focused on helping hiring teams weed out cheaters at the screening stage with AI-proctored coding tests. But I can see lots of other uses for software like this in academia (take-home tests), medicine (licensure exams), law (bar exams) and so on. From a UI standpoint, there’s already a lot to like here: the voice agent doesn’t interrupt, which is more than OpenAI can say, and it gives appropriate hints without giving too much away.
Blitzit: A simple to-do list and timer for peak productivity.
I’ve tried dozens of productivity apps and I alwas go back to creating to-do lists in Apple Notes. The big reason why is because too many of these apps are so complicated that productivity becomes secondary to the app itself. Blitzit is different. The team have struck a sweet spot between having a solid feature set and keeping it simple. It breaks your day down into lists with each task havingatimer. While you work, you can add notes, take breaks, and enter “focus mode” — a reduced interace to be less distracting. Now, if it could just do my tasks for me while I catch up on my reading list that would be great.
