it lets me concentrate on my study. Because when I typically study, I head off and do other things as I can't fully focus. For example, I pick up my phone and surft the internet. after using this app, I just set a goal and finish it (finish planting the tree;) this affect me a lot. I highly recommend you guys to use when you study.

Can't see all the options on the screen when I click the edit button for a tree. It's missing the tags option and the stuff below the tags option in the dialog box. This is on a Samsung Galaxy z fold 5 when it is unfolded only (i.e. using the inner larger screen). That's a non-starter for me. The same problem happens in landscape mode on my Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. Also I'd like to be able to set timers for less than 10 minutes.

I love this app I really do it's my favorite time restricion app by far. BUT creating new lists is so needlessly difficult, currently you have to manually select every app you want to be able to use while a tree is going with no ability to search. How exhausting. Give us the ability to -search apps when creating allow lists. -allow us to create black lists (select apps to NOT use.
