Description
You keep promising yourself a 9 PM cutoff. CaughtShipping holds you to it, publicly. Set a Curfew and a tiny desktop app watches your work apps. Leave Cursor open past cutoff, and you get 5 minutes of grace (or none, if you're brave); then your fall lands on the public Blotter: streak reset, timestamp, roast. Keep your word and climb the Wall of Rest. Two emergency overrides a month for real life. It only ever sees app names, never your code. Free on macOS and Windows.

Could you build this?
Yes A lightweight Electron or Tauri desktop background utility that monitors active process names and pings a public Supabase backend leaderboard is very easy to build with AI assistance.
