Love everything about the concept -- especially cross-platform blocking everywhere -- but it's just too clumsy to use and too needy. I don't understand why Session can't run in the background, especially on the Mac. If I start a session on my phone, I have to launch Session on the Mac as a front-of-screen, icon-in-the-dock app instead of it just running a little helper program that does this one job. I don't want to fuss with the UI all the time, that's the whole appeal for me.

Génial pour toutes les personnes pour qui 20 minutes est compris entre 10 et 45, un outil incroyable pour prendre conscience du temps que l’on met, de combien on déborde en pensant que cela ne va durer que 5 minutes de plus.

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

Great app to set your day goals and accomplish focusing on no other thing

I really enjoy using this app, but the timer completion feature disrupts my workflow. When the timer finishes, the app unnecessarily overlays on top of other active screens. It would be a significant improvement if it could just notify me with a sound and maybe a small popup on top of the screen or something similar without interrupting my workflow

10/10 It is just what i needed to focus

I love using this app to do pomodoro! I always gave up the method due to my irregular task time, but this app solved the issues! And this app can add the event (pomodoro sessions) to the calendar, so it is easier to track my focus time.

Connects to Firebase by *Google* and requires an email account to sync with devices. Doesn't sound great on the privacy part. Can't you guys just sync using iCloud? Wouldn't require another account, would use E2EE and doesn't use Google's infrastructure... I'll stick with Focus.app for now...

Je recommande pour les gens qui ont un manque de concentration.

To-do is great addition!

great app. helped me become more focussed with enough flexibility to accomodate unforeseen situations .

I cannot activate on my iPad?! The second step does not unlock the full version or syncs with the app on my MacBook. Otherwise I am very content daily user of this app.

I just want simple pamodoro, and this app show welcome screen with bunch of questions and then show a blank screen.

Difficult to work with. Should be simpler

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.

I have severe ADHD, and my problem is not focus, but instead taking a break. This helps me do just that. I love the design of the app and the timeline feature. Being able to make categories for what I do really helps thins as well.

Easy to use.

Once I got the settings sorted out, I found it to be pretty helpful.

The app is an excellent product which satisfies my needs!
