Great app

I'm using it for awhile. Everything works good, but one bug I encounter - sync between iOS and macOS app. Sometimes, state of the iOS app overwrite state on macOS, i.e.: on macOS I got 4 interval, but on iOS - 0. After they are synced, macOS getting 0 as well as on iOS.

Great but need improvements

The main disadvantage is that I cannot go to the end of the current inverval. I can just "skip" it.
But what if I'm working and I have 5 mins to finish the current inverval and don't want to wait for them? Suppose I've done my current bunch of work and want to rest. Of course, I'm trying go to the end of the inverval by pressing X and what happens? Whole current inverval is skipped and didn't added to statistics. WHY? I'VE DONE IT!
The same with the rest invervals. I don't want to "skip". I want to go to the end of the interval (finish it).

Please, add fixes for that and other improvements that people keep writing to you. I'd like to give you 5-star but cannot :(

Great app but lacking some features

This is a great app, and I use it for several weeks already -- it's easily customizeable, convenient and working well. However, I would love to have some features that would greatly improve the experience. For example:

1. App would benefit of the possibility to mark interval as complete.
2. App currently doesn't support MacOS dark theme.

Also, it might be convenient to be able to arrange the intervals schedule for the day in a custom range in UI. For example, my schedule is not the same every day, and if I could come to the office and quickly arrange the intervals on a UI (e.g. have a long break not after 3 work intervals as usual but after 2 of them) that would help me a lot.

Otherwise, the app is great and I'm planning to continue using it.

Dear developer, thanks for taking time to make it!
