We're hoping to add analytics in a future update.

Thanks for the feedback - I can definitely understand it not being intuitive. If you want to remove the alert for now you can do so from the preferences window (it's the "Mute get …

Will definitely look into it!

Thanks a lot. We focused a lot on simplicity so I'm glad that shines through. Your feedback is super useful to us. The ability to turn off the active task is probably something we …

There's a quick add functionality which allows you to add a task with a keyboard shortcut. Would Alfred integration still seem useful to you?

Thanks Matthew!

Thanks! Let me know if you have any feedback.

Definitely! I got lucky in the sense that wanting to create Effortless forced me to learn Swift. I wanted much more control than something like Electron or BitBar could give me, an…

There is one global keyboard shortcut that is available everywhere, and that can be changed from the preferences window. You can change this shortcut to be something that doesn't c…

No blog post yet but I'm happy to answer any specific questions here. Effortless is a fairly simple app although there were some tricky edge cases to handle like when the task name…

We have no trial version to download right now unfortunately. If you want to try it out feel free to send me an email at julian@effortless.app and I can send you a promo code to do…

Thanks! We considered a subscription service with some added features but decided instead to focus on simplicity. Right now there is no syncing, but we will definitely consider usi…

Right now everything is stored locally - we don't even have a server running. An iOS app is definitely something we're thinking about, although we want to focus on improving our cu…

The task name is truncated any time the app notices that the full name wouldn't fit in the space available in the menu bar. If new menu bar space becomes available I haven't yet fo…

It's definitely something we're thinking about. There have been many times when I'm not at my computer that I'd wished I had access to my task list, or had something like Effortles…

Hey HN! My name is Julian, and I made Effortless with aracena to solve a problem we were both having: how to focus on exactly one thing at a time. Effortless displays my current ta…

If you're referring to real numbers, then virtually no real numbers have a name. If all real numbers had a name then you could order them alphabetically and put them in one-to-one …

It's because you're underestimating the average intelligence of an HN reader. Basically everyone here knows how probability works for independent events.

Except, as the comment you responded to suggested, you would use a different email for each service.

"Very simple. Don't choose the type of startup that has a 3 in 10 chance of succeeding on the off chance that you are the lucky one that hit's the lottery." That doesn't sound simp…

I've attended rationality sessions organized by the people behind the Center for Modern Rationality, and they do teach about how to find hidden assumptions, and judging quality of …

That parameter is absent when you're not logged in.

The "Wifi Only" option exists.
