User reviews

Neat device, full of slop tho.

The device that this is for is really well-designed and manufactured. I am genuinely happy with the device.

The firmware is pretty limited, though, and all of the apps are noticeably vibe-coded.

All of the audio (including the “music”) is AI slop, though. I wish they’d actually hire people for this rather than just slopping everything, Lord knows it costs enough.

Why is there no sound when the time is up?

Overall, it's great, but where is the sound notification or at least the vibration on the watch?

Good start

Can see the vision. Would love native support for iPad that’s not just an upscaled IOS app, higher quality backgrounds, and the accompanying hardware

Great design!

It’s an astonishing design for a free app! Would be great though, to have an option to increase the timer size. Also, some kind of task tracking or a history of completed intervals would be helpful for analyzing work times. Keep up the great work 👏

Cool needs some work

So far it seems to block all apps regardless of what I tell it to block.
