Time 2 - Stay focused and crush procrastination

by

We all know and hate the guilty feeling we get when we procrastinate. With Time 2, that feeling is a thing of the past. To use the app, you add a task like "Tweak Sketch mockups, 30 minutes.” & a brightly colored timer counts down as you work. This timer helps you feel a slight twinge of pressure so you get your work done.

Looks great, guys! I see the point in structuring your day into blocks of time. This makes great sense in order to get a quick overview of your day. What I do miss in this app, is a way to manage my time while doing the work. Say you plan to use 3 hours on a task. Personally I would need (small) breaks, therefore I use the pomodoro technique where you work 25 minutes and then have a 5 minute break, and after 2 hours you do a 30 minute break. If you could manage to get that flow integrated in Time, what would be awesome!

@henninghorn Thanks for the input! The way I do it personally is to create different tasks for each thing I want to do. So, I'll do work for some time, then have a break task, then do more work. You can alternate like that to achieve a pomodoro-like effect. The app is flexible to anybody's working style. Our fear is that locking people in to any specific flow makes it confusing and restrictive.

I just bought the app and look forward to use it tomorrow. The app seems very useful (especially for a college student 😉) and looks beautiful. The list of features is impressive 👍 Great job and congratulations on launching the V2 👏

@shaandsingh looks interesting. I’ve two quick questions. 1) Can we get free upgrade if we have purchased original Time 1 app? 2) Any plan of working on Mac or Apple Watch app? Combination would be killer and more productive.

@shaandsingh I currently use FocusList and that’s working amazing for me as it has Mac and iPhone apps. They have Watch app too but I hardly use it and it has lot of bugs in it. I really want to try out Time 2 but only iPhone app is restricting me.

@enworl Time 2 is a paid upgrade. Mac is on our timeline.

@shaandsingh Can you share a rough idea by when will it arrive? I’m super excited. 😄 Also, Time 3 will be paid upgrade or a free upgrade?

My god this looks so freaking great but still no Android version after so long? 😭

I was never able to understand the upvoting... Maybe it's more of lobbying going on with this app. If you Have u ever used the first version for a while, which was full of bugs...Money and time wasted. now rather than improving the app further, Developer is here again on product hunt with version 2. I definitely don't mind paying and helping for further development but it's not fair to release imperfect app every year and ask for money. Anyway, Good luck.

@nilsej We've spent a lot of time working out the bugs from the 1.0 version. Time 2 does not have any of the reported issues from the first version of the app.

@nilsej Regarding your concerns, I'd be happy to discuss over email and offer you a promo code for a free copy of the app. If you take a look at Time 2, you'll see it's beyond stable and is leaps and bounds ahead of Time 1.

@erikvdplas hyped. might be coming to Amsterdam for tnw’s conference. They invited me over. You going?

Something is really wrong with the Search in App Store. When you enter Time 2 nothing is found. You need to use the whole app name to find it: Time 2: Beat Procrastination.

Very nicely done app intro tutorial, all around well-designed as well, plus intriguing simple concept.

Please create a Mac app, or let us sync with Reminders app. I usually add all my reminders while at the computer, so I use Fantastical for now. Actually the sync with Reminders feature would work best, I guess.
