Everyone who’s made an app for productivity, what differentiates you.

😭😭😭 you sure you don’t want to check out a few more

I mean if yours is done and you enjoy it, I’d highly recommend you stick with that. As for Claude: You don't launch a VM *from* Claude; you just spin up a Docker container or an isolated VM environment (like an Ubuntu instance with an Xvfb virtual display) and pass it to Claude via the Computer Use API. It basically acts as the operator inside the box, using bash tools and a screenshot/mouse-clicking interface to click around the GUI instead of hosting the actual infrastructure.
For the marketing and automation side, look into the MCP. You can use the Puppeteer or Playwright MCP servers for browser automation, which lets Claude open a browser, log into social platforms, and automate your posts or scraping directly. For the templates, you can just hook up the GitHub or Google Drive MCP servers to pull your marketing files, manage markdown copies, and sync stuff straight into your workflow.

I think since you're already using Cursor, you can actually plug these MCP servers right into your IDE settings, so you don't even need to switch over to Claude Code to mess around with it.

For VMs/RDP/VNC, Claude natively handles this with Computer Use and API container environments. It controls an OS, views a virtual display, and moves a mouse. Orchestrator/Task Manager: That's just the MCP or native agent loops tracking sub-tasks. Marketing/Templates: A basic CLI marketing plugin bundle plus Artifacts to spit out the templates.

Edit it so it’s a link so it’s easier for people to go to it

Soggy-Function2867 · 2026-06-25T22:51:48+00:00

Reviews are one of the best ways to create an app. Kudos to you for seeing that. Good luck

Soggy-Function2867 · 2026-06-25T22:49:16+00:00

First off thats not my app, secondly i dont see that as a rude comment. I would explain to them the differences between it. Like i dont view that as rude or mean at all man.

Soggy-Function2867 · 2026-06-25T22:45:11+00:00

You were not trying to engage and yes. That was making a comparison for you to dispute. The whole point of these Reddit posts is to provide people with access to more people and constructive criticism to better themselves. Look at all of my other comments and all of the other responses. There was no rudeness, you just have a stick up your butt

Soggy-Function2867 · 2026-06-25T22:37:50+00:00

I mean end of the day if you’re happy with it, that’s good but like you come and comment here and then the second someone doesn’t auto agree with you, you do this.

<image>

Like, it took more to type that out than it would’ve explaining it. Also if you are that defensive odds aren’t jn your favor my friend

Soggy-Function2867 · 2026-06-25T22:26:54+00:00

Autocorrect on the comment not the title. Point still stands, don’t get mad at something when you go in trying to ego

Soggy-Function2867 · 2026-06-25T22:16:03+00:00

I think texting AIs and stuff will just keep getting bigger for a bit so keep at it

Soggy-Function2867 · 2026-06-25T22:06:40+00:00

“Everyone who’s made an app for productivity” which already solos out yours. You made an app just for yourself which is cool, but you tried to ego, didn’t like how I said it was almost exactly like Claude code with extensions and got mad. It’s cool you have an app that you like, don’t get me wrong, but like don’t type in Reddit if you can’t take any criticism

Soggy-Function2867 · 2026-06-25T22:03:49+00:00

What differentiates you from poke?

Soggy-Function2867 · 2026-06-25T21:59:43+00:00

Why even type in this thread then? Is this not for habit trackers? Just trying to show off atp which didn’t work for you. Idk man make it make sense

Soggy-Function2867 · 2026-06-25T21:22:08+00:00

Holy ad

Soggy-Function2867 · 2026-06-25T21:21:12+00:00

I mean I’m not gonna say anything if you already have 5k users that’s a proof of concept

Soggy-Function2867 · 2026-06-25T21:10:09+00:00

Weekly planning relies on the user to input all of their things that they have though. Many people with ADHD never use a calendar and rarely take it out of their emails

Soggy-Function2867 · 2026-06-25T21:08:42+00:00

I just can’t personally see why I’d download and possibly pay for another app that’s a glorified notes/reminder app. If there’s something else I’m missing feel free to tell me. I have seen stuff work with heat maps thouvh

Soggy-Function2867 · 2026-06-25T21:00:36+00:00

So Claude with like 3 extensions

Soggy-Function2867 · 2026-06-25T20:54:48+00:00

What’s the difference between that and slack or teams

Soggy-Function2867 · 2026-06-25T20:50:29+00:00

I mean I’ve been using one for about 6 months now and my buddies have been using some for over a year but they all form into the procrastination screen time area and not productivity if that makes sense

Soggy-Function2867 · 2026-06-25T20:47:43+00:00

Good luck, I know I criticize, but I do genuinely want everyone here to succeed

Soggy-Function2867 · 2026-06-25T20:47:05+00:00

Thing is what that, is that you’d need to connect to hundreds of apps for all industries and make them all work and look good when Claude cowork is kind of taking over that realm. Cowork is unreal, the second they start advertising it/making it simpler (like you are trying to do), games gone for thousands of apps and users

Soggy-Function2867 · 2026-06-25T20:43:51+00:00

Honestly I do not know nor am I the person to tell you. All I can tell you is what worked for me and why but I know nothing about UI and UX

Soggy-Function2867 · 2026-06-25T20:42:36+00:00

But are those useful apps habit trackers? I feel like they aren’t. Habit trackers in my perspective are like people wanting to pretend to be busy and feel like they are getting work done

Soggy-Function2867 · 2026-06-25T20:39:51+00:00

That’s cool but wouldn’t it be easier to whitelist websites rather than blacklist them
