The team is passionate about their mission/vision. I have high hopes for how this product will grow.
Pros:Best productivity application I've used; great data visualization identified causes of distraction quickly; made me more focused in days
Cons:Missing contextual tasks; sometimes email is a productive task, sometimes its an unproductive one :D
Having used a number of productivity apps before, I can say most of such
apps focus on one of the aspects, only: e.g. time boxing, tasks organization etc. And none of those provide a complex solution, "all-in-one". Y-Productive is definitely one of pioneers here. It tracks your productivity in real time. In the focus mode, I have much more chances to complete the work. Feature of history/statistics makes me thinking about retrospective of my work, and it gives another bunch of motivation. Categories feature allows to "teach" the app constantly, and prevent a distraction next time.
I also know Y-Productive team works on the feature kind of "Smart Coach" - virtual assistant which gives an advice based on user behavior. I`m really starving to test it, since this sounds like real AI. Also, mobile app may become a logical extension to the current...
Pros:Cool UX/UI design and useful features - focus mode, reports, categories. My personal assistant who never sleeps and tracks my productivity.
Cons:Not really a con, but... I`m missing Focus Mode for desktop apps (Mac/Win). Now, Focus Mode works for browsers, only.
I've been using the app for very long time and I'm completely amazed from the first day. It's not only functional but it's also beautiful and user-friendly (yes, a very important point!).
I had problems with working constantly on things but now it greatly improved and I know where I lose my time and work on improving that.
Pros:Easy to understand, ability to track where you lose your time, block unproductive web-sites.
Cons:I miss a mobile app but it's in developers plans :)
Would really recommend to try out the app if you want to have a tool for focusing on your daily tasks.
Pros:Simple yet powerful tool with great UI/UX. Productivity counter and focus mode are really good features.
Cons:Maybe would be great to have Productive/Unproductive categorisation for different spheres (like work, self-learning, home etc.)

Saw it. Tried it. Signed up for it. Liked it immensely more than Rescuetime within a short while of use. Decided to stop using Rescuetime since I realized that it recorded plenty of information, but the experience wasn't really what I was hoping for when I started using it and I rarely checked the data. This app is cleaner upon first impressions and I've already found myself using it more and paying attention to what I'm doing and not doing more. Well done and looking forward to future updates.
Pros:Very nice to use & only takes a few minutes to get used to it. Already find it helping with productivity & being used more than Rescuetime.
Cons:All the people that are grumbling that the Maker is actually charging for something he made.
