Ian's Awesome Counter

I lose track of time embarrassingly easily and this does a great job of keeping me present and on track. Would’ve happily paid for something like this and I am very grateful the developer keeps it functional. Only improvement would be to have a persistent notification that doesn’t clear the screen until you have selected yes or no. If you miss the ping right at your selected interval, you have to go into the app to open it and record whether or not you were on track. Otherwise amazing, fantastic, super useful app.

I don't understand how to use this on my watch. When I opened the app it only have me a list of times. 1) I wanted to select the current timer, 11:00pm, to start a timer to see if stay focused. 2) But there wasn't an 11:00pm in the list. Why? 3) There wasn't anything more to do in the app? How does choosing a time from the list help keep focused? No timer? No way to choose when to be notified asking question if I've stayed focused not how often to be notified? 4) I don't understand how this app helps. Also, how would that graph be made to show how you have been doing? 5). This app hasn't been updated for I think over a year. All the reviews except for one was from over a year ago.

I actually found this very useful. It keeps me on track and I recently noticed you can customize the timeframes on the 3rd page. Very convenient.

I have ADHD and am in grad school and let's just say I can count on one hand the number of days I've felt I put in a good effort and did not waste the whole day anxious and avoiding my work within the past *year*. It's easy to feel like you failed that day if you look in terms of large still-unfinished goals but for me just seeing all those good time blocks add up is very motivating and is helping me feel less overwhelmed by my course work. I appreciate the fact that it's only on Apple Watch and the perfect simplicity of the app, because it reminds you that what really matters is accomplishing your goals and not just having some more data that you can obsess over. I also LOVE the story behind this app and just want to say thank you SO much to Ian and David for making this available to anyone. I just got a notification from the app and probably should get back to work! This was very long, but get this app!!

I never knew I needed this app, but started using it. This has brought such an improvement to my life for such a simple app. Thank you a thousand times over.

Thank you from everyone with ADHD. Developing this app was a public service you probably won’t ever receive enough thanks for.

It’s a reminder that brings you “up to the surface” just long enough to make sure you’re still on course. After that it gets out of your way - no logging, nothing that wrecks your flow state. Just “hey hi - are you doing what you want to be doing?” and then it goes away. You don’t even have to go through the pan of setting up your day and saying “ this is what I shall work on today!” …. because we just don’t work like that. The ONLY ask I’d have is to lengthen or shorten the 45 minute interval. Some days in on a successful zone and I’d like to bump it longer; some days I’m struggling and I’d need to tighten it up to shorter intervals. Overall - absolute godsend. Thank you Ian for bugging your dad to make this 😉, and thank you, Ian’s dad, for deciding to make this and release it.

Thank you for making this. From, a pathologist with ADD

I’m not sure on what could be on the app that would make it unavailable for older OS

I have been looking for an app that does exactly this for literally years. And it comes from a developer I already know and trust, has an adorable background story, AND it’s entirely free? I This has retroactively made my Apple Watch worth it. Not even kidding. Thank you.
