Nice Idea Poorly Executed

I appreciate the attempt to do something unique with the multiple use-cases, but the lack of scheduling/automation, ease with which it can be cancelled and weird UX make it a bit pointless.

I exchanged emails with these guys several years ago. Nice people, really talented, but like so many developers, massively overconfident in their combined product design and business skills.

App

This app is a life saver. Excellent for those looking to better manage their time - blocking youtube saved me about two hours a day
