Reviews
What focused work sounds like
“The first timer app I've stuck with for more than a week. The break reminders actually get me away from my desk.”
“Simple enough that I set it up once and never had to think about it again. That's exactly what I wanted.”
“Seeing my sessions stack up through the week is a small thing, but it keeps me honest about how I'm spending my time.”
