This is too good to be true. I just want to know if/how will you be monetizing this. The reason why I want to know is obviously how will I justify my privacy concerns.

@dorukhan_sergin Hey Dorukhan! Very valid concern! We will not sell or share any user data - we (as developers) cannot see websites or content you visit. We are likely to monetize through freemium tiers. We want our free version, the current product, to be accessible to all and be on every person's computer to save them time from the addicting parts of Facebook, Twitter...etc

I feel really distracted by anything during work (remote worker) I really need this! I will give it a try today

Oh just realized it's not a desktop app, I normally stay on my desktop while working

@hazelsong2 sorry =( we decided to build a Chrome extension first because it's the fastest way to solve a lot of productivity problems. We definitely recognize that a desktop app is needed, and it's definitely on our todo list!

Literally one of the best chrome extension I have right now! Amazing product.

Motion is fantastic! I often have to use "distracting" sites for work and Motion does an awesome job at keeping me focused on the task. The "1 more minute" feature is genius

@luke_harries That's awesome to hear Luke! Thanks so much for helping us building and iterating on this product.

I tried to set my productivity time from 11 am to 3 am, the hours during which I am usually awake, but I get an error message that my start time needs to be before my end time... I think this is a bug?

@daniel_ro14 Hey Daniel! Sorry - that doesn't work yet, the end time has to be before "midnight" right now. You are definitely correct that this seems wrong, and we've added this onto our todo list - should be available in the next week. Thanks for letting us know!

Like a lot that twist: "We built Motion to be proactive, but intelligent". Motion seems like a real game-changer in personal productivity improvement, good work @harry_qi @ethan_yu @omid_rooholfada2

@juanpablosarmi Thank you Juan! Glad you like it; we put a lot of emphasis on the intelligent part. Love to hear your feedback!

I see that you are using the same approach as iOS screen time this is exactly what I need right now on a browser. I am used to have StayFocused but unfortunately, they are not effective because I still have to visit Facebook frequently. This tool gives me to fine gain control to analyze and review what I need to do when I visit a distracting website. Great work! 👏🏻

@namtran_wd Thanks David! That was the reason we stopped using StayFocused and made this :)
David Tran
@harry_qi Thanks, I am using this tool everyday. It does a great job of limiting my time of Facebook. Thank you very much!

@namtran_wd That's great to hear David! Would love to learn your feedback :)

I'm incredibly frustrated with this product, and have experienced usability issues with it that prevent me from even trying it effectively. The calendar integration with Microsoft doesn't work, after authenticating nothing happens. Then while trying to troubleshoot, I've ended up having to endure the product onboarding video like 30 times because you can't skip it. Then on other occasions the hot keys ctrl + space don't work so you can't add tasks and just get stuck. I spent 3 hours today trying to get a time-saving product to work. That's not cool. I think you guys have an awesome idea, and honestly a lot of my major disappointment is because I live a daily nightmare of meetings and when I learned about Motion it was one of those "I have to have it" type feelings because it looked so cool. I really hope you guys get this working properly because I would love to be a paying customer.
