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

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?

@aracena What I'd do is to connect with a Trello board and select the column, then grab all the cards of that selected column and show them in the app, and then click on a task to start the counter on that task.
