We're flattered, but what we have isn't more willpower or passion for productivity - it's habits and routines that we cling to religiously because we know we're all one tiny, little, harmless peek at our notifications away from getting absolutely nothing crossed off our to-do lists for the day.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

Ghazala Begum

Jamyson Haug

Laetitia Berton

Giovanna Scalzone
