Hi Everyone, I'm very easily distracted a habitual phone checker and struggle with my ability to focus. So my co-founder and I decided to make a simple app that shows me all the time in the menu bar the task I'm working on and a timer. I feel that by seeing the task all the time its harder for me to get sidetracked, and the timer creates an artificial constraint that allows me to stay focused. I hope you find it useful, I really would love to know your opinion

@aracena I saw this on Twitter whilst procrastinating and all it's done is make me procrastinate more... =/

Really enjoy the implementation of this simple app. Would be useful to consider any of the following in a Pro plan:

1 - Pomodoro

2 - Integration with Asana/Todoist/Trello/etc

3 - Statistics

Pros:

Super-simple interface and the notification alarms that your time is running out

Cons:

Cannot configure it with custom goals...yet?

Looks really nice and useful! Good job 👍 just one thing, I see a white strip on the right of my task list, UI bug? Also, I'd be really useful if you add integrations (Trello, Slack, etc...) and sell as pro feature (freemium model) 😄 Another thing, how did you build it? Electron? Swift? Thanks! 🙂

This is awesome! I'm manually doing this now with Things 3 + Brain.fm (for timer). Suggestion – how about displaying the total time for the tasks added (& time left)?

@jijosunny Thank You Jiro, I would love to understand this, so like email 20 - 19:59 something like that?

@aracena Nope, I think you're doing that perfectly with the timer. I meant the total time to complete all tasks (overall timer). If I add 4 tasks of 15 mins each, and complete 1 task, it should say 45 minutes left. Just to give a sense of time. BTW loved the 'add 5 minutes' feature 😻

@jijosunny Got it!!! Love that idea. I'm glad you liked the add 5 minutes, we try so many version of this, and we finally ended up with this version, It's awesome that you notice it and like it :D

This! I've been going through countless pomodoro timers etc. looking for something that does just this. Thank you for reading my mind! :)

@chandika Awesome!!! what do you think can be improved?

@aracena It will be good to increment the original time set for a task when you 'add 5 minutes'. that way you know how much time was spent in the end. other than that, i think it's best to keep it as it is. it's the simplicity that gets the job done here.
