User reviews

Exactly what I needed

Incredibly helpful I only wish I could set the time frame after midnight because I work nights.

Fantastic app

I lose track of time embarrassingly easily and this does a great job of keeping me present and on track. Would’ve happily paid for something like this and I am very grateful the developer keeps it functional.

Only improvement would be to have a persistent notification that doesn’t clear the screen until you have selected yes or no. If you miss the ping right at your selected interval, you have to go into the app to open it and record whether or not you were on track. Otherwise amazing, fantastic, super useful app.

Confused Newbie

I don't understand how to use this on my watch. When I opened the app it only have me a list of times.
1) I wanted to select the current timer, 11:00pm, to start a timer to see if stay focused.
2) But there wasn't an 11:00pm in the list. Why?
3) There wasn't anything more to do in the app? How does choosing a time from the list help keep focused? No timer? No way to choose when to be notified asking question if I've stayed focused not how often to be notified?
4) I don't understand how this app helps. Also, how would that graph be made to show how you have been doing?
5). This app hasn't been updated for I think over a year. All the reviews except for one was from over a year ago.

I actually found this very useful. It keeps me on track and I recently noticed you can customize the timeframes on the 3rd page.
Very convenient.
