Hiit Interval Timer Pro

I find that Fitness and Productivity Timer helps me maintain productivity and lends a solid framework to getting things done. I currently use it while I learn programming, specifically JavaScript. I would tend to either cram to much or get infinitely distracted and not do enough, and through consistent practice I’ve managed to improve my abilities through repeated 30 minute sessions with 5-8 minute breaks in between. I’m not saying the app is a magic cure all - really, it adds a gamified framework that rewards you slightly with points when you complete your timed sessions. However, this importantly makes the act of training your mind into solid shape more focused and fun, and has helped me at least get more productive at work I found very boring at first. I highly recommend this app!

I love Fitness and Productivity Timer. I started using it about 1 year ago to help decrease my screen time and, most usefully, to track my focused time working. I find it especially helpful for tracking writing time. The act of planting a tree adds an element of habit that helps me focus. I don’t really participate in the community there or competition, but I have planted with friends. I find it a bit clunky in that regard because we often have to enter the codes manually to join a room or do so from email. One time I was able to just click an invite in the app. I think you have to have the plant with friends screen open for that to happen and that timing is rare for my slightly scattered friend and I. It would be great if that link stayed available or there were another way to make this easier.

I love this app so much! I use it to keep me off my phone in the morning, while working, and during the nighttime. I’ve used it religiously for about three years now. I have no real complaints, but there are one improvement I would love to see. The list of achievements has not changed at all since I downloaded the app. I’ve fulfilled most of the achievements except for the global ranking, which I’m not super interested in. It would be great if they added new achievements that were higher bounds of the pre-existing one (I.e. 60 days in a row or 100 days total focused time) and if they just added new achievements (such as planting 1, 5, 20, etc real trees). That would be a great way to thank their most avid app users, like me.

I’ve only just gotten this app but it’s helped my productivity loads! The only problem is when I’m trying to use my phone as a calculator or texting a reply and suddenly my trees die, I wish there was a sort of a pause button on it (even though it’s fine the way it is). I also love how you can buy different trees but I wish there were more achievements that one could unlock, I find myself not having enough money to buy items (especially as the price goes up by 100 coins after every purchase). I also wish there was a setting for longer than 2 hours (I usually go out for longer than that but don’t bring my phone with me and I can’t help but lament the amount of coins I wasn’t getting). Besides that, everything is awesome and this app is definitely worth its price.

I love this app so much - I have a horrible phone addiction and have tried a ton of other apps but nothing is quite as motivating as knowing I’m going to kill my little tree if I don’t get off my phone. I’ve set up those Apple Screen time limits and every time the limit comes up, I just say “15 more minutes” with absolutely no shame. But I NEVER kill a Fitness and Productivity Timer tree. The only thing that would make this better (and for which I’d love the developers forever) is if you guys made it possible to schedule trees in advance! I often wake up and start the day on my phone and half my work day will go by before I *realize* and actually plant a Fitness and Productivity Timer tree. If I could preschedule a tree for the morning, that would allow me to start off the day on the right foot. Super hope you guys implement this - and thank you so much for the wonderful app!

I've been using this app for a few months now, and it's definitely helped me get work done. Even though I don't go on my phone that often, it's a good reminder to stay focused on the task at hand. If I do feel like going on my phone and need to work, I'll just open this app and set an allotted time to stay off my phone. I highly recommend this app to anyone who is serious about getting work done, so that the motive to keep your tree alive accompanies the desire to get stuff done. Even if you lack self discipline, I think it's worth a shot. I really like the assortment of trees, so you can set goals to get new trees or get enough coins to plant a tree in real life. Great app!

I’ve tried several methods to focus on studying or schoolwork, and this is the only thing that works for me. Even though the tree isn’t real, the thought of killing it hurts me worse than I would like to admit, and it really helps me focus!! And the sounds are so nice to listen to, it’s wonderful. I do have a suggestion though!! I wish that when we have our phone locked to preserve battery, we could see how much time we have left without unlocking our phone. That way, we don’t have to unlock our phone every time we wanna see how much time remains and we don’t break focus as easily. Just a suggestion!! The app is fantastic and I love it to death, good job
