Start in 1 Second (Zero Friction) No complex settings, no login required. Just open the app and press one button to dive into your flow. We eliminate the gap between thought and action to help you execute immediately. 2. Dopamine Every 5 Minutes (Micro Rewards) Do you have to endure 25 minutes to get a reward? Not here.
