Reminders are annoying
Great app and really helpful for keeping on task. However the little reminders that pop up halfway through each focus session are really distracting and actually break focus

Helping me stay on track
Get the right stuff done quickly!

Ingenious 🙏
So simple to use! My job requires me to focus on multiple fields. (Marketing, customer service and sales) and I find myself really losing focus on my tasks. Especially because I juggle so much and therefore fall behind. This app has helped me be more productive and time block different tasks. The reminders also help me stay on track, as I’m a hardcore procrastinator who thinks she can do a million things at once. (Spoiler, I cant) Thanks for the simple solution!

Solid App
Great app that you can start using today! I can see it growing and improving even more with time and resources.
The #1 thing I love about this app is you aren’t forced into a subscription to use pro features; competitors are not for me for that very reason. Go indie developers!

Keep open on desk to keep focused!
Visual and compelling.

Just What I’ve Been Looking For
A great app that does exactly what I’ve been searching for - to layer up custom sessions of varying lengths and stages. Great design, easy to use and with a nice integration into Toggl. Can’t really recommend this one enough, if I’m honest.
