Ratings and reviews

been using this for a couple of days and really enjoying it so far. using the big button to track distractions helps me cut them down. and the basic pomodoro functionality is great. only things that could be improved: 1. when first opening the app you see a big button which says to hit it when distracted, but it's not obvious that it's only when you're in a work session - just a minor UI/UX thing 2. I'd love to be able to set a longer break every few breaks (eg every 4th break is 15mins)

This app is clearly only intended to be used if you want to block distractions on your phone. It basically can't be used without granting numerous permissions that alert and block you from using the phone when the timer is up. I don't have a problem with distractions on my phone so I don't need it blocking any of that. I just need the alert but the app is literally impossible to use until you grant those permissions.

I LOVE this app. The only thing I'd change is the widget by making tapping the top of the task widget open the app, that way I won't need a redundant icon on my home screen. I'd also like the ability to sort items by priority in the widget too, it could maybe match whatever it's set to in app. This is my fav no frills productivity tool I've come across so far and the distraction tracker is truly thee way. Thanks for all y'all do, I bought a lifetime sub a while ago to support
