Feature: Differentiate Show Timer notification - curiousdreamer - 02-14-2025
Currently, the Show Timer notification for Launch Limits show the timer of how long your launch is and the delay before you can access the application again. If I close the delay notification, it turns off the setting in the focus plan entirely, even though I want to see how long I have left in the launched app. Personally I do not want to see the delay notification for more customizability in the notifications, which can be annoying at time or if I am screen recording, for example. I also find that I am not reminded of the delay between launch limits, I actually use the app less, which with which apps I have configured with Launch Limits, is actually a good thing. I think that the Show Timer notification should only show the timer of how much time you have left, and not the time left in between the times you can open the program. Or better yet, make the two types of notifications separate and make them separate options in the settings of the block plans. The first type of notification can be called Show Launch Limit Timer and the second type of notification can be called Show Delay Launch Limit Timer, or something like that.
