they've executed brilliantly, glad to see it's working well for you. along with the one-tap setup and social accountability features you point out, other noticeable differences between their solution and our are

- we can pull you out of an app at the end of the time you intended to use it for

- we support restricting websites

- we let you accumulate your progress over time via a streak, which is quite motivating (at least for me personally)

One sec lets you restrict websites! But the other two features you listed are compelling. I may give it a try

I just installed it on my iPad, but adding a number (I am on my iPad and I am in the 0.00001% who doesn’t use phones) is a no go. There is an Apple sign in, but I prefer e-mail if possible.

The Apple signup also cuts of at the bottom.

You mention phone use in the description of the app, but also address iPad users if possible.

I am big fan of allowing people to see what would be happen by choosing one over the other, usually with a (?) symbol.

So I am not going to use it right now. Hope you can work with this feedback.
