### 2/5 — Mandatory Timers

*2025-10-29*

I have been looking for a to-do list app that selectively blocks and unlocks apps. I was so excited to find this one. I wanted to like this app, but the fact that every single task has a mandatory timer is a complete dealbreaker. 

What do you mean I can’t check things off that I’ve already done? If I forgot to set a timer beforehand (or it takes less time than I anticipate) there’s nothing I can do but wait? Correct me if I’m totally missing a feature here, but unless that changes I just have to use a different app.

**Developer response:** Hey, so sorry to hear that you were disappointed with some of the app features, let me explain a couple things. I can see now why that would be frustrating. The reason I had it like that was to discourage people from cheating themselves. I figured that if people had to wait the whole timer they would be more likely to actually do the task instead of just checking it off when they really wanted to use their phone. However, I can see now that there might be people of different self control levels and that might be a feature that is beneficial for those people. So, my next update I will be adding that as an option in settings. You can turn it on and it will let you instantly complete tasks. I just submitted an update to apple with this change. It is in settings but will require a 24 hour timer to take into affect to prevent other users from exploiting this change. Thank you for your feedback it is muchly appreciated. :)

### 5/5 — This app got me into Harvard!

*2025-11-22*

Before I started using this app my screen time averaged 10 hours a day. After only a week of using it, my screen time dropped to only 2 hours a day and my productivity increased so much! I was able to lock in on all my schoolwork and college applications and essays. I can’t believe it made it possible for me to get into Harvard. Without this app I’d be homeless!

### 5/5 — Great app
