Thanks a lot. We focused a lot on simplicity so I'm glad that shines through.

Your feedback is super useful to us. The ability to turn off the active task is probably something we will incorporate in the next release. Having the ability to add tasks without a timer needs to be thought through a bit more by us since many users use their Effortless task list as a sort of notepad. Please let me know if you have any more feedback!

One more thing - maybe I’m imagining this but I wonder if you might have a bug that causes the alert sound to go off sometimes even when the tasks are paused? I’ve heard an occasional ping from two different computers since installing the app yesterday, and I can’t figure out what else would be causing the sound.

I know what you mean, the idea is that if you pause the the task it will remind you every 5 mins to resume the task. Basicly you have to compleat the task or remove it. if this becomes a problem write me to [e-mail] and we will find a way to improve it

Huh. That’s not at all clear, and strikes me as weird. I think you’d have to pair it with some visual indication...

Thanks for the feedback - I can definitely understand it not being intuitive. If you want to remove the alert for now you can do so from the preferences window (it's the "Mute get back to work alert" option).

Big fan of the auto start and countdown stuff you’re doing — there’s a lot of value in the “pomodoro method” which this could approach or help automate.

It’s not for everyone, but the idea is to trigger a kind of competitiveness/relentlessness with your todos that helps focus and flow.
