Physical barrier on the phone is probably the best way to tackle with such things, but that's not what always available or convenient. I liked Opal, but with Intenty I tried to create an alternative way without blockers or limits. For

Thanks Never used 'Google Play Pass' and haven't explored it from a dev perspective. If that's something like a toggle in Google Play Console then I see no problem enabling it.

Advanced reminders are going to be a thing for the next big release. I agree that one problem is to pass the unlock, but staying on track with your intention is a different story. One periodical notification with static text can in theory f

Thanks! > One feature request: instead of giving me a freeform field to enter "why", give me a few of common uses cases as options like: - Picking up the phone for real use (order, cab, call etc) - For social connection - For m

In my case it depends on the nudge I'm currently set up. If that's about using the phone less, like during focus time I pick it up habitually to procrastinate the screen can say "Just put it down and check it at the scheduled

More advanced reminders are the most frequent feature request so far. As a very trivial way to implement it, I'm thinking about showing the original screen periodically instead of the notification. But the thing you suggest with modify

For the long term, I recommend changing the prompts from time to time and adjusting intensity and cooldown settings. Sometimes even turning it off, so you are not getting used to the screen.

On iOS it's simply impossible to implement. There is no way you can display an app over other apps after unlocking. I tried to implement something similar, like a widget, but that's a completely different app. Unfortunately, such

Thanks for the try. Now I realize that the decision to make nudges in the same way as modes on iOS was a bad decision. I made it intentionally, you select nudge as one mode to enable. If you want to customize the content, just change the pr

What I'm trying to achieve here is to make more conscious choices. If I want to scroll Reddit, I would like to make a deliberate decision rather than doing it habitually in an "uncontrolled" way, just immediately out of bored

Well, I agree. The fatigue from the screen is real. What I'm trying to achieve here with the app is to give a set of tools that can help deal with this fatigue. Like adding a variety to the texts you see, changing the intensity of the

Allow me to clarify about "in-app purchases". The "in-app purchases" are for small complementary features, like making the screen appear on a schedule, making it impossible to skip the screen, and adding a lock button to

While I felt the same after reading, there are worthy recommendations that are good reminders. For example, learn as much as possible about the domain and stack you are working in or read books about fundamentals rather than blogs because b

Not 2024 book, but I found "Essentialism" by Greg McKeown valuable despite it being a mainstream self-help book. While the core message isn't revolutionary (focus on what truly matters), it provided a useful framework for re-

Wow. I just found Ensō and it's freaking awesome. I often use focus mode in IDEs if available. Probably I'm going to try it instead of my Obsidian. Also, I wish something similar existed for mobile as well.
