Escape - Track all your unnecessary trips to distracting websites

@imns81 100% my reaction as well haha

@imns81 Kind of like avoiding going on WebMD when you're in pain because you'll inevitably discover you have some terrible disease.

@thedannychang @imns81 doesn't help that every diagnosis on Webmd for any symptom is an incurable cancer haha

@antoneliasson Can confirm that yes, it is.

@bentossell @antoneliasson When you realise how good your job is 😄

@ohadisohad I'm running both this week to see if this offers anything different or interesting.

@baadier @ohadisohad We also deliver weekly reports with Stackup. Try them all out!

@ohadisohad I use RescueTime too! But the problem is it only adds app the time. Not enough. What kills you is going to Facebook for 4 seconds every 5 minutes. Yes, it adds up to 1 minute over a morning, but it's so much worse than browsing for one minute! I like to compare this to falling asleep: If you hear a SHORT alarm every 5 minutes, will you ever fall asleep? And if you keep listening to an annoying alarm for 5 minutes and they you get to go to sleep, isn't it easier?

@ohadisohad I love rescue time, but the weekly reports aren't enough. I need a daily report so that I can do better incremently.

@bentossell Welp, I think it's kind of dawning on me that I have a serious slack problem...

@bentossell I agree, this app wouldn't work for me as I'm a social media manager and I'm on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, etc. during my work hours. Apps looks gorgeous though.

@aboundlessworld @maneesh @_vojto +1 for open-source the project. I use Pavlok and it's awesome tool that has API.

@gigitsui Ooops. I'll talk to our lawyers about that. Wait, we don't actually.. Sorry, I'm just joking, but I wasn't expecting it to be on Product Hunt under the spotlight. To answer your question, it uses Amplitude, but only 1 event – Launch, to track how many active users we have. And there's a signup form (which you can skip) connected to Parse, but it doesn't do anything yet, only creates account in Parse. We built that because in the future we would love to share anonymized data (with user's consent of course) with researches – but it was all going to depend on whether anybody would like it or not.

@giridharvc7 I see a lot of Mail opens as well, even if I don't use it at all. Looks like everytime I open Gmail, it shows Mail open as well.
