We definitely support that! You can set any number of flexible work zones during your day, and it'll even send you an alert if you work too long in a zone you said you wanted for recharge time. :)

Oh I see. You allow this in-app.

Your signup flow, though, has a start time + end time and doesn't make it clear you can add these windows in. It made me pause during sign-up and I wonder if it would cause other folks to drop off. Maybe could be solved with copy somewhere even?

Similarly, as far as I can tell the signup flow does not let me add half hour increments (e.g 8:30am - 6:30pm). I also can't figure out how to add that even in-app.

Great note about the signup flow not messaging that. We’ll correct that for sure. In terms of 30 minute increments, that’s not currently supported due to super annoying technical reasons around the way we’ve structured our database. Something else we’re working on.
Is there a way to define different zones/types of work? I work 10-6, but study 8-10 and 8-10pm.
It might be possible to work that way, none of us have tried it explicitly yet though. That's a great feature suggestion, I'm adding it to the roadmap.
