Tasks, pomodoro, and time tracking in one panel
Four months on Echo after a year on Blitzit. Same architecture: tasks, live timer, pomodoro, one panel in the menu bar. Blitzit handles that well. Start a task, the timer runs, complete it, the timer stops. Fast, clean, gets you into flow quickly.
The separation is idle tracking. Blitzit measures task duration. Echo measures presence within the session. A 50 minute block splits into actual focused time versus idle, so a session reads as 50 minute timer, 38 minute work. Blitzit reports the timer. Echo reports the work. For accurate time data, that distinction matters.
Distraction logging is marginal. Idle tracking is the feature worth paying for. Blitzit captures intended time. Echo captures real time.
