Today I found itch.io and I was scrolling for some music stufffor some time with multiple windows opened but this thing was only one that's the only thing that stopped me from going down this rabbit hole and Im gonna download and check it.
Yeah, deleting a note does not work f.e. after restart its back, those tiny things could really make the difference, you made a great tool with good ideas and all around philosophy, I would love for this to become a real tool for daylie use, that I can use to manage myself without fear of bugs.
Not sure why, but when I download and extract the Zip for the Mac version I get this error message: “Mad Productivity” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.
Any idea what is causing this? I can't open the tool!
To fix this issue, you need to run the following command from a terminal to fix the issue:
xattr -cr "/Applications/Mad Productivity.app"
Once you run that, it will give you a different prompt, about the security of the App bundle not being signed, just need to go into your security settings, after getting the dialog, and give permission to run it, and it will load up.
i was wondering if you can add an account system for thoses like me who work on multiple devices, also i just wanna say wonderful app i love it use it all the time. i was also wondering if there might eventually be a app and android mobile app
Hey! Thanks for the feedback! We’ve now shifted focus to working on a game that we plan on releasing soon-ish(tm).
However due to the project being open source, feel free to post the suggestion to the github’s issue tracker, so that anyone interested in bettering the program can focus on it :)
Loving the application! I think it would help the productivity if next to time tracked it also displayed the time spent prolonging your breaks. Right now there's no incentive to get back to work after your break timer has ran out. I should know, my break timer is running negative right now :)
I'm really loving this tool and it has helped me improve on both personal and work projects! Tried it, buyed it, zero regrets. On Windows 10 x64 the experience is flawless. On linux x64... not so much. Dragging the window around is very sluggish and jittery. Resizing the window is impossible. It just stops rendering altogether. No timers are going, fresh setup, no notes, nothing. Godot itself isn't quite as snappy as other applications, but it's light years better. Actually clicking through the interface is fine, but trying to wrangle the whole application window is an ordeal. This is perhaps minor as I work, unfortunately, in Windows and that's where I need it most.
One feature that I feel is sorely lacking is the ability to create multiple custom timers. The stopwatch and Pomodoro timers are perfect and do what I need. However sometimes I want a 30 minute timer, sometimes 10, sometimes 60. Having to constantly modify the Pomo settings is pain.
Lastly, and real moonshot here, it would be nice to do some basic reporting on project progress, task start and complete dates, with time spent total and per task maybe in a kind of heatmap or something. I'd totally be open to contributing in this area. I do data analysis on enterprise storage and I'm preparing reports for customers almost on a daily basis. This is my jam.
This app is cool! I just got it to try it out and I was wondering if you have posted anything about your experiences working with Godot to create apps?
I think a great addition could be a calendar, also the button used to add new tasks sould be put somewhere else, because it blocks the way to the buttons that delete old task. Also great app!
Any way to download older versions of the software? The latest version is crashing for me on my Linux system :-( I've created an issue in Github so hopefully it's enough info to track down what's going on and fix it.
Great app actually, used it in developing and it's working mighty fine!
However, it's a bit hard to use and can sometimes be unworkable with.
I would give a suggestion for A separate tab for Pomodoro, I think it's quite silly that all pomodoro timers are always tied to a task. Sometimes I just need to turn it on quickly and focus. Also it took me a stupidly long time to figure out how to use one.
It would be also good for an option to maximize the Timer instead of having it on the side, I found it disappointing that I couldn't move the borders of the timer.
But overall, a really nice application made by a smart witty developer. Thank you very much for bringing this software for our use.

Procrastinating since born.
Totaly so cool, would love support but looks like you moved on to bigger and better things
yeah, we’re in full production of our next game project :) I do agree though, i’d love if mad productivity got a maintainer!

Can you add images to the note section?

Sure i'll give it a look, thanks for the reply! Wasn't sure you would answer.

Waaaait, shouldn’t the negative time be the indication of how long you’ve prolonged the break for? :D

The windows build crashes when opening and it doesn't open at all
The build I downloaded did not crash. I'm on Win10 Home.

Replying on github, I’ll see if I can find the previous binaries somewhere also we should be able to fix this somehow :)
