Really love the UI and simplicity of adding tasks/task groups, but this app is (for some reason) a beast on my battery life. I sent you an email about this as well, but it was using well over what I had anticipated. From the OS X 10.11.4 Activity Monitor:

    Alloy
    Energy Impact: 651.4
    Avg Energy Impact: 24.6
This is compared to Google Chrome, which, with 15 tabs open, has an impact of 11.2. When I looked into it, the energy impact of Alloy is near that one would expect on a stress test (ex: http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/use-activity-monitor-energy-tab-...).

Any ideas what would be causing this much energy consumption?
