I do think that's better. But I'm concerned that if focus changes have a visible effect, that could also be disconcerting to a user. I think I'd have to try it out.
It is similar on Mac OS. Seems like a reasonable method to shift focus. Doesn’t break things but it different so might need a little settle time to get used to.
Good point but I think it's now coming to a point where confusion might come into play. It's a balance between inconveniencing someone with auto focus and confusing someone else.
Honestly, I could see this working really well for lots of things which require deep focus. Even for programming without external distractions part of me thinks this would be absolutely wonderful.
Concentrate is great, but I'm going for something a little different with Focus over the long-term. Hope to have more features out soon that make this clear :)
I've used both a few times today, but it is really hard for me to judge how "focused" I was. Did I get work done with them? Yes... but I also get work done without either of them.
I like how you have a lot of the science information on the site that explains it. Plus the sleep mode is intriguing, as F@W says it is for focus at work and reading only (via their whitepaper https://www.focusatwill.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/White...).
I'd like to hear a third party opinion that objectively compares the science behind both of them.
Thanks for the discount, I'd probably keep using so I went ahead and paid the $25. Even though I have been burned a few times by the "for life" purchases, I don't expect it to last for more than 1 or 2 years ;)
At that point it sounds easier to have the focus switch executed automatically with all relevant parameters preset, e.g. duration or curve. Sort of like CSS transition or MIDI automation.
