Interesting approach. I've tried time-blocking before and always abandoned it because estimating task duration is hard. Does DayZen help with this or do you just get better at it over time? Also curious how you handle tasks that run over.

Apps adjusts for actual vs planned time. This is quite good idea, ill think how to implement in the next release that when tasks run over, they glow orange on the clock—you see the cascade immediately and make the cut/push decision in the moment.

This looks great. One thing I'd love to see: integration with focus modes on iOS. Could it automatically trigger Do Not Disturb when you start a focus session? That + the Dynamic Island would be chef's kiss

As someone with ADHD, the visual approach makes sense. Do you plan on making it more proactive rather than just utility tool ? like an assistant ?

Still scoping it, would love to add AI for assisting, however, figuring out how to ensure privacy and security for such use case

Love the privacy-first approach. Refreshing to see a productivity app that doesn't need my email or track my usage.
