I love the fact that the timer keeps going if you have it in the background, because I need my phone for all kinds of stuff, and only count the use of certain apps as distracting. I'm sure a lot of people want y'all to change this, either cuz they can't trust themselves to tell the bean to stop knitting, or they can't remember/can't be bothered to switch it off every time, but this feature makes it usable for me. If changed, could you please make it toggle-able, so everyone can use the bean?
I love this little app! It is the perfect incentive to leave my phone alone while I'm focused on other things. One of the best uses so far has been setting it for 15-30 minutes when I'm crawling in bed. It helps me not pick up my phone and do all the last-minute things I think of and then end up distracted and awake until 2:00 am. I get to settle well and still have my phone at arms reach when I wake up or if there is an emergency.
I love the idea, and the interface is engaging, but I can't figure out how to keep the focus music playing when my screen display times out. Is there a setting I'm missing? EDIT: Thanks so much for the quick reply! Here, have another star as my appreciation in advance for the fix! :-D
This is just what I needed. Knowing that if I get distracted, I distract my little bean from their work, really keeps me in line. I don't want to have my bean upset with me.
I've collected 75 socks so far. I've used it to study on my class work, and even turned off the TV to listen to the calming bean music. I've downloaded many productivity apps, and while focus and productivity aren't the same things, there is a connection between them. The app is limited like Neko Atsume, sweet, simple, to the point. I appreciate the amount of designs and the general lack of a paywall. I would pay for a Gregor Mendel testa, or Patrick Stump.
