Very good

Much better than all the rest I tried, especially Emphasis — do avoid that one.

Simple and easy to use

Helpful for tracking and measuring my pomodoros and keeping me focused.

Helpful & interactive

This app is very helpful and the integration with your calendar blows other apps out of the water.

I do however believe it would be better if it had the following functions ....

•the ability to pause one job, and move onto another and then come back. Ie. Time stamps per job incase of disruption.

•integration with quickbooks / studio ninja and other invoicing programs whereby you can see how much time OVERALL you spent per job

•integration with fitness apps to help with step count and keeping yourself moving when working.

Amazing app for studying

I use this every day and it’s so useful! I enjoy the breaks and it helps me keep focus without feeling burnt out. One teensy problem is that text can sometimes continue off screen but that’s only a minor thing for me.

Great for productivity!

I am able to timebox my focus hours. Manage my todo priorities and see results in the calendar. Great app!

A different way thinking

Great, simple interface that nicely interfaces with Office 365 calendar

Response from developer

Thanks Marvin! you can timebox your focused hours between meetings or appointments in your calendar, the app will also tell you at what time you will finish your day.

So Helpful!

DayNinja is so helpful! Being able to organise everything and see all my tasks for the day is so good. The focus timer is especially effective as the time slots aren’t too long or short.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. As your ability to focus improves you may wish to extend this time. The duration of a block a break and the number of blocks until a long break can be adjusted in the settings. Enjoy!

Indistractable tool

I have been reading Nir Eyal’s new book “Indistractable”. If he had an app, this would be it.

Using this app I can make time for traction using time blocks and get the reward of seeing how many hours I have been focused each day.

Response from developer

Oh! I love Nir Eyals' work. You may have noticed that we have built into the app some of the concepts from his 'Hooked" book to make the app habit forming in a good way :)

Best Pomodoro timer!!!

Awesome - cool app! I am a freelancer and need to stick to my time schedule to keep all my clients happy. You guys have done a great job!

Response from developer

Yes, we designed the app exactly for people like you. You work and your time is important. It is hard as a freelancer to keep focus when being bombarded by clients and IMs, so setting aside hours of focus time to get the important work is what we strive to do.

Great for organising

I find this app so helpful it really helps me to organise all my tasks. I am a current uni student and use this app often. Thank you!! Very helpful.

Response from developer

Thanks Cj! Check out our new version, you will see that now your focus time appears in the calendar. Now, you can plan your focus hours around classes but also see your focused hours back over your day.
