Very interesting. I'll give it a shot right now!

Just for curiosity, how hard was it to release this for both android and ios? (I assume since its free that its only a side project)

Hi! Thanks for trying.

Yes, you are right that's a side project.

I spent a lot of hours after work playing with Swift on iOS and Kotlin on Android. But thanks to good Google and Apple documentation it wasn't a bad journey.

But about the release process, it was much harder with iOS than Android.

Trying it out, would be cool if you could configure it to only ask every 2mins or something

Thanks for a try. It sounds like a great idea. I will take it into account. Are you on iOS or Android?

On Android!

I thought about such reminders, but I have a concern that it will be too much notifications. But anyway, it can be optional.

I don’t know if this would work on iOS (or if it’s already implemented), but any idea if I can make the app pop up directly every time I unlock the phone? This would mean that I don’t need open the app manually myself /keep the app on top before I lock the screen.
