Launching V1 on Tuesday. What should I build for V2?

Hey PH! Next Tuesday, I am officially launching the V1 of Zone, a native iOS focus timer that uses the Screen Time API to lock down distracting apps at the OS level.

I deliberately kept V1 extremely lean: pure SwiftUI, deep ActivityKit integration for the Dynamic Island, and a strict zero-knowledge architecture with absolutely no tracking. It is completely free with no ads.

As soon as V1 hits the App Store on Tuesday, I will immediately open the codebase for V2 to introduce a premium tier. I have a few ideas, but I want to hear from the community first:

If you could wave a magic wand and add one feature to a strict, privacy-first focus timer, what would it be? Advanced scheduling? Something else?

How do you like to work with AI coding agents?

There seems to have two types of developers:

Human in the loop: Those who like to control the behavior of their agents as it works, looking at the context usage, reading reasoning blocks, and approving individual file edits.
Agent first: Those who prefer to review the output of agents, rather than individual actions, and run one or more sessions in parallel.

What type of developer are you when working with AI coding agents?

Zone - An uncompromising focus timer that physically blocks apps.

Zone is an uncompromising focus timer and app blocker designed for professionals who need absolute discipline for deep work. Unlike standard timers, Zone utilises Apple’s native Screen Time API to physically shield distracting applications, featuring a signature "Strict Mode" that intentionally disables the ability to cancel an active session once it begins. Built with a strict "Zero-Knowledge" architecture, the app operates entirely on-device with zero third-party tracking or analytics SDKs.
