An editorial reading of the saved reviews

A unique combination of a Pomodoro timer and a task list with gamification: coins, trees, and stats. Acts as an external motivator for people with ADHD and procrastination. Task order in the list cannot be fixed, and Watch control is rough.

This is the best app I have found (after trying so many) for managing focus and procrastination. After 4 months I'm still going strong in my work and finishing projects which would've been impossible to achieve without the structure that this brings.
