Fijn hulpmiddel

Ik vind het een heerlijke app op zowel macbook, Iphone als Iwatch. Het helpt me te focussen en streng voor mezelf te zijn. Ik laat me makkelijk afleiden en stel dat nu uit tot mijn pauzes.

Irritating

This app very often asks to write a review. That’s not helping me to concentrate on the tasks I’m doing, it doesn’t help me to focus.

Works better than other pomodoro apps

I had been looking for a good pomodoro application and finally I found this one. It really covers all the points I need
- Excellent interface
- Synchronisation with iPhone and with Apple Watch
- Easy to use
- Timer visible in menu bar
- Good keyboard shortcuts

It’s a great tool to implement the pomodoro technique, which in itself is fantastic for keeping concentration and focus on tasks at hand.

On the minus side, I think that the Apple Watch app needs a bit of work in terms of usability

Update Oct 2016: I am still using this app. I think I can attribute a big part of my recent professional success to this applicaiton. It really helps one keep focused and do just one thing at a time. Essential!!

Update Feb 2017: I still find this the best tool to ensure that I will get something done. The fact that the clock is ticking makes me concentrate in full in the task, and then the 25 minutes are actually very productive!
