An active plan should be allowed to be modified in many ways:
1) Change of the name of the plan (already mentioned elsewhere)
2) Anything that further restricts the plan should be allowed. Example include: adding random letters to type, changing a plan from random letters to forced mode, or making any schedule tighter, or allowing the plan to be restarted automatically the next day, or extending a plan with a certain end, etc.
3) It should be possible to fully view the plan, even when active. Right now if I want to understand an active plan, I have to clone it, just to view it.
Finally, to avoid errors, make sure the user confirm the changes.
Currently the lists, plans, etc. do not make it handy to ban large number of websites.
At this point, I want to ban every single website that I find distracting, this currently include a number of websites in the hundreds, and will possibly reach a number in the low thousands (over several years).
But of course, I want to be able to search and manipulate that list, for example to unban a site that was not distracting in the end.
Suggestions:
1) Enable alphabetical ordering of banned websites.
2) Enable easier scrolling down/searching, etc. of banned websites.
To give an example, I was trying to change from the daily mode to the weekly mode, and poof, I am locked out of my computer and have to type 1000 characters. Why? I didn't know that the weekly mode would mean a break.
If this worked like a Plan, I would first need to pause the plan, to play with it, shift from daily to weekly, realize that I don't want the current weekly plan and change it to what I want.
Another problem. I was trying to edit the break, and poof, I am locked out completely because of a tiny mistake, and I have to type 1000 characters.
Missing features are:
1) Several break plans, each with its own active and passive protection.
2) Having end dates, start dates.
3) Make the break plan resume the next day automatically.
All these features would be useful. In short, please make breaks function like plans!
I would like to make a suggestion. It would be nice to cumulate the time not spent. What I mean by that: I set up 2 mins an hour for youtube, which is very little. However, if I only watch 1 min, I would like the other minute to run over to the next hour, so I would have 3 mins, etc. If I dont watch any video, at the end of the day I could watch a good 15 mins video. This is better than setting up a maximim of 15 mins a day, which I may burn straight away in the morning.
I have never seen this option anywhere in these types of software and I think it would be a nice unique feature. Of course it wouldn't be a default option.
This might be a niche request, but I think adding the ability to close apps even if they are operating in the background (e.g. minimized or obscured behind other apps) would be very helpful in resolving a number of potential cheating methods for FocusMe.
Hello everyone. My name is Greg. I really like the app so far. I like the variety of options and ways to block. The uninstall and forced mode are nice. I have a porn addiction, and also tend to waste time in general watching political videos on youtube. It's easy to waste a lot of time and not do what I should be doing, so I'm hoping to use good technology to fight the bad aspects of technology and improve my life.
