X Minutes Left Notification

Small Improvements🍏 iOS

I’m proposing another option to the ‘don’t get lost’ notification setting, to allow a notification X minutes before the app will be blocked (aka before intervention or whatever else). This could be nice as a ‘You have X minutes left in APP, wrap things up!’

    You can now enable the switch under Customize < Don't get lost notifications < 50% Time left. You will then receive a message when only 50 percent of the time is left for Re-Interventions or delayed Interventions.

    Do it as a ‘display on top’ of the current screen, so that we always see the hovering time left notification

      That would only be possible on Android, iOS can have notifications that need to be manually swiped away, but they can’t be live updating

      Edit: I’m the OP, must’ve used a different account originally…

    I like this idea! For now, if you have an iPhone that supports Dynamic Island, you can turn on that feature to get a little progress indicator until the Re-Intervention kicks in.

    But notifications are definitely a good idea as well!

      Hello, I came to suggest this very thing and found that someone had already suggested it. I hope it can be implemented on iOS soon through a notification system or something similar. The problem I encounter is that the Live Activity is canceled when I leave the app because I have the App Closing Shortcut enabled (I need it), and if I open the app again, Live Activity countdown doesn’t resume, so I lose the tracking, and many times One Sec interrupts me by blocking the app in the middle of writing or a video. Thank you.
