Software Reviews and Criticism

  • By McCloudFace

    Grateful for this 🙏🏼

    I have tried...too many ways to put a digital sticky note on my screen that stays present and visible at all times, but stays out of the way so I can get things done. I now have a bright yellow, bold text reminder in my menu bar, and it's fantastic. For anyone who is prone to yak shaving, diving down rabbit holes, or otherwise being easily distracted, like me, this is a really valuable, simple way to stay reminded of the one thing I should re-focus on. To Sindre: they say the universe returns what you put out in the world. The universe owes you unlimited good vibes. Thanks for all the cool stuff you put out there for the nerds. I, for one, really appreciate your efforts. ☮️

    Love it and really appreciate the scripting functionality

    This app is really useful for me because I'm always getting sidetracked when I have to work on large/overwhelming tasks and it serves as a reminder to get back on track when I see it. I also really appreciate the ability to script any text into the app for which the developer has written up a wonderful How To guide. Thanks so much for this awesome little app!

    5 Stars for Each Thing

    I was promised the app would solve one problem, very well, and it does that one thing I need which is put a reminder in my face about something. That hasn't changed in 2 months, and that's not the fault of the app - at least I know what I'm not getting done, always. Really cleanly does it well too, which I've come to expect, the author does great work.


  • By Woozy Appleseed

    A simple concept, executed beautifully

    It's such a simple concept, but having a dedicated always-present space to keep a current focus item has been a really nice way to keep on task! Beautifully simple and, dare I say, perfect execution of the idea.

    It does one thing

    It puts the one thing in your status bar as advertised. Especially if you're easily distracted by the apps up there its good to keep you on task.
