Session

I’ve given up on Session for being too fussy and attention stealing. My bias: I have ADHD, so what I say may not apply to you. I liked the ability to type notes directly into the Session interface, thinking on paper about the steps needed to get the work done, or anything else. That feature is gone now. But my main complaint is that the controls don't make intuitive sense. For example, how do you respond to the "What's your focus?" prompt? You click on the light gray word "Intention", and be sure to keep the description brief enough to fit. Why is the STOP control hidden under a "…"? Your guess is as good as mine. Eventually I started using another app that includes timed sessions within its features. I still occasionally use the iOS version of Session, which hasn't been boiled down like the Mac version. Working on the Mac while the phone times me is an OK system. But it's best to avoid that gear icon. Weird things are hidden there.

Really love the ability to start a session on one device and have it running everywhere. My usage is very basic -- I activate it using widgets and never really interact with the app itself (and never leave notes or anything of that sort). For me, the cross-platform blocking of sites and apps I reflexively open is really helpful. I know I can easily disable a session, but that little bit of friction reminds me why I have it running, and that goes a long way.

Muita enrolaçao pra abrir o app, cheio de perguntas, fora que o seletor de tempo é horrivel, deixa a gente digitar, ao inves disso tem que selecionar o tempo em uma roda que nao é nada precisa, demorei pra conseguir definir 50min, pois vivia saltando entre 48 e 51
