### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-08-05*

I don’t do this as much as I should I mean use the timer but when I do, it helps me so much. I have a little bit of ADHD and so the timer helps me stay focused doing something productive for at least 25 minutes of the time it’s been a game changer for me.

### 5/5 — PERFECT

### 4/5 — Sleek

*2025-04-18*

The app is sleek, effective, & powerful!

The timer pauses when using other applications. 
I tend to do some work on my phone, which pauses the timer. 
Causing inaccurate focus sessions & rest sessions.
How can I fix this issue?

*2024-12-04*

I am not sure, but the phone automatically locks during the timer. I didn't close the apps during the timer. The timer stops when the phone is locked. 

There are no dynamics island or Live activities, and the widget is not interactive.

Waste $20 🤷
