I'm really curious how this technically works on iOS. What kind of process is running in the background?

@emieljanson And how much battery life is it eating?

@emieljanson it seems that the app uses location tracking. It's very good product, but as I've (as many others iphone users) battery issues I can't use it on a daily purpose.

@noahkagan They use lo-res location tracking, so the battery drain should be minimal.

I feel like we should give it a week and post our results. I'm currently trying to be less attached to my phone, so it'll be interesting to quantify my usage!

Awesome landing page... that's a CTA done RIGHT. I wonder what their conversion rate is like... did you know that texts have a 95% open rate in the first 5 mins?

Thanks for the comments guys. Glad you like it! It will be interesting to see what your results will be in the coming days. We are going to look into the social ideas. Reuben thx for the props on our landing page! Simplicity wins :)

@tewy I'd be interested in seeing if this moves the needle on Calm.com's funnel... I bet there's a number of psychographically-targeted apps you could build that would pre-select for your demo, and (along with social) really diversify your acquisition channels. Are you tracking what other apps your customers are using? Could be useful for targeting/partnerships.

@chrismessina yeah, very similar. I started with Moment but didn't like the location tracking requirement.

@AnujAdhiya @sandracarden or socialized so I can compete with friends/colleagues for the lowest score. Check out Forest for a version that gamified based on 30 minute intervals of NOT checking your phone: http://www.producthunt.com/posts...

@AnujAdhiya done (I think - haven't tried it yet but just discovered it/installing it). Check out https://twitter.com/forestapp_cc Oh right, @alwaysunday already mentioned it.

Very very cool, have wanted this for a while. How does this detect when phone is checked though?
