I have been struggling over the years with ADHD and I have gone through various promodoro/timers. This is the only app I can use on my phone, iPad, and Mac computer. The app isn’t perfect, so I brought these concerns of mine to the developer’s and their team’s attention. They have been very receptive to my emails. I find Shadow Task to be without a doubt, useful, and for someone who is in graduate school, my finances are tied up, so I am very happy it is a free app.
