Cool app. Do you have any tips for using apps to manage your time?

Hi Philip, I subscribed to the pro version, how do you activate dark mode on the iphone?

@lancescadden1 Thanks Lance! It's currently based on your phone system (dark mode / light mode). I'll put it on settings on next update (in few days!) Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hey @philipyoungg ! Congrats on launching Session — one comment after downloading the Mac app: Unfortunately, the interface is barely usable when using Dark Mode (both text and background are light gray / white. Is this something already on your radar?

@decu Thank you Teo! 1. Can you check on System Preferences > General > Appearance > Accent Color whether it's graphite (black)? If yes, change it to other color and see if the issue still exists. Or are you in BigSur? Both happens because of bug from macOS. 2. I would love to make it a one-time fee—but it's really proven unsustainable. Syncing need server—it needs to run 24/7 and not free. Ideally I want to make it one-time purchase with free update for a year. But that's not currently possible on Mac / iOS ecosystem.

How exactly Pro and free version differ?

@asnim_p_ansari1 it's available on here https://www.stayinsession.com/pr... Basically full analytics access, sync between devices, backup on cloud, dark mode, etc. Otherwise, the Pomodoro timer part is free :)

cool! does it provide analytics for the time spent on different activities?

@vlad_nekrutenko I've considered adding tagging & project, but afraid that I'll become a chore for user because it needs upkeep ("ah, I forgot to add tagging", "what was the tag for project X again?", etc). I do want to add it in the future. Still researching a good UX that have minimal annoyances.

I was a beta tester for this product, I've not yet used in anger due to a lot of my work being on Windows at the moment but for a beta version of a product I was incredibly impressed with the quality!
