  • Freezing and Battery Drain

    Freezing ❄️🧊
    - When I try to edit time of task
    - when I press return or enter on keyboard
    - When I try to change size of an individual task where it shows the bento box sizes
    This app drains my battery horribly 🔋

  • Just one more thing

    A widget would make life easier, a small widget with a future to add one, three bentos (think about the Spotify widget look and feel) and that’s it.
  • The Most Brilliant Task Managing App

    As someone with executive dysfunction, this app has proven amazing. I just hope we could add unlimited bentos. And have separate collections for those bentos.
  • beautiful app; not functional

    this app is stunning and the goals it sets out to meet are exactly the ones I need. each time I name a task, though, the app freezes and I have to relaunch it. I also can't change the duration of any of the tasks. I want to love this app, but it's unusable for me in its current state
  • Good addition to your favorite productivity system

    I love testing out new productivity apps and especially ones that have a clear vision vs just making the same old system prettier, so I was excited to try Bento. I do usually jot down my top three priorities for the day in my bullet journal so my biggest question was whether this app would add value to that process, and it did! First, Bento forces you to decide how you will work through your list, starting with the biggest, smallest, or medium task. The timer lets you focus on on the task at hand and the instrumental music in the background is lovely and relaxing. The pictures and animations are also pretty and create a nice ambiance. This is not going to replace any of your existing productivity apps, but it’s a great add-on for those of us who may struggle to focus or know where to start. Definitely recommend if you have ADHD/executive functioning issues like me. Feedback for developers: the graphics are beautiful, however it veers too much into cultural appropriation territory for my taste, as my understanding is that the developers are not Japanese. You can appreciate Japanese culture without making it the whole thing of this app. At the very least, give some credit to the Japanese artists who inspired this aesthetic. The switching themes function doesn’t work. I tried several times to do it in the settings, but the original theme remained. Would be great to have a longer track for the looping audio, and maybe some different choices. I love it for now but can see myself getting tired of it after a few days.

  • Beautiful, Stunning & Mindful

    Having started a new more mindful approach to life this app has proven to be really amazing. The three level to do list is perfect and really helps you get much more done and feel better while doing it. Not only that but you feel more relaxed because you feel better able to manage your day and time and get everything out of it. Thank you! Worth the price.
    One suggestion - I LOVE the Bento 🍱 image you guys have - would there be a way to make the bento more visual with the checklist - to me it’s just part of the relaxing and soothing organization of it all and I’d love to put my goals visibly in a box / thanks! 😃

  • The system works!

    Really loving this app! I've followed the developer's productivity tips for quite some time now, so I was very excited to see they had an app of their own coming out, and sure enough, the Bento system works! It's a great way to segment your tasks into digestible bites to make you feel much less task overwhelm. On top of the functionality of the system and app, the app itself is pleasant to use, with relaxing visuals and sounds. A+!

  • A refreshing entry to the productivity app space

    Bento is a fantastic addition to my new workflow. I love how the app complements rather than competes with my current task management system. More themes, native iPad and MacOS support, and widgets would make this app even better!
  • Increases productivity

    Simple app with amazing philosophy. I’m able to target and break down my priorities to something manageable so I’m always working on either the important or urgent.
  • Great start ⭐️

    I’ve started to use Bento to use my time more effectively as I work throughout the day. The methodology is sound and it enables me to do both the critical projects AND the smaller (but still essential) day-to-day tasks. I’m very excited for the updates to come and the team is very open to feedback which I am very grateful for.
