Thanks to @theospears in the Discord for posing this. We came up with the following list of candidates so far:

1. Beeminder, for [doing what you want](https://blog.beeminder.com/akrasia "Inaugural blog post!")
2. Anki, for having a superhuman memory
3. Khan Academy, for autodidactification
4. Mathematica as exobrain probably doesn’t fit in this category (it would open the floodgates if so) but I do use it for various best-self things, like autogenerating intra-day graphs of my weight. There’s also [a tiny app I use](https://allitimentation.glitch.me/ "HT Cantor Soule-Reeves") to keep track of my [alliterative alimentation scheme](https://blog.beeminder.com/allitimentation "This continues to evolve. Biggest change is substituting in Tareable Tuesdays for Tumescent Tuesdays.").

What else have y’all got?

Roam Research and LeechBlock definitely belong on my personal version of that list.

Oh yeah, probably lots of things in [Beeminder’s integration gallery](https://www.beeminder.com/home "AKA the front page of Beeminder") count!

TaskRatchet for doing what you want when it’s not a regular thing.
