Blocking Youtube increases my productivity but I would need to go through productive videos to understand something. I can't block certain categories of videos in Youtube and hence the trouble. Similar things for FB, LinkedIn and other platforms > > The experience was amazing. It looked really good and has helped my overcome certain habits and build a better focus. Reduction of distraction was a plus ----- ### "Best app to keep track of where your productivity is going\!" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *13 September 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The real killer here is the timeline view where you can see at a glance how productive you've been for each 5-minute interval of the day, while also being capable of seeing why you got that score, drilling down app use. This is a great way to get an overview of your day but with enough detail for it to be useful. > > **Cons**: The app allows you to setup tasks and projects to time-track them. This might work fine if you don't already have your tasks listed somewhere else, but in my case I have plenty of lists in Trello where I detail my tasks, and re-entering all my tasks and projects into Y-Productive to track them is just too cumbersome. I end up using another tool for time-tracking (which allows me to just enter the current task, and no need to have a task list). > > This software is totally unobstrusive, intuitive to use and can give you insights on how you spend your time - not just a productivity score, which other alternatives might give you. It enables more powerful habit changes and analysis and it is worth it just for that\! ----- ### "Needs more work" — 2.0/5 > **Susana** | *23 February 2019* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: The only pro I can see on this app is the idea of an app that helps you stay productive and keeps you away from the sites that distract you. > > **Cons**: Cons, first off, it is so difficult to understand how this app works, it doesn't even give a guide on how to use it when you set it up, therefore, I couldn't use the application to my advantage. Just make it easier to use and understand because the idea is great. ----- ### "Keyboard shortcut frustrations" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 September 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Loved the automatic tracking and task tracking. This software nails that aspect like nothing else. > > **Cons**: They made the start / stop keyboard shortcut for Focus Mode and Timer control shortcuts that many other apps use. Working in a doc and need to "Save As"? Nope. That keyboard shortcut will start or stop your timers. Need to cut special text? That will enable or disable focus mode. This is all customizable but seems really silly and shortsighted to have this be such a common keyboard shortcut by default. > > I liked it\! Keyboard shortcuts frustrated me to no end though, and it took a while for me to track down where they were customizable in the app. If I'm looking to save time on time tracking, I don't want to fight the default configuration of the app. Overall though: stunning UI, awesome tracking, task management with time tracking against each task is awesome, and I love the analysis I'm able to do against my days with it. ----- ### "Great app, genuinely transformative to my workflow" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *31 July 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love pretty much everything about Y-Productive, from the UI to the great support team. The to-list functionality and reporting are great and the tracking is thorough but non-intrusive. Highly recommended. > > **Cons**: There's not really anything I dislike but I'd like to see apps that track the same account via phone (since it's easy to get distraction on the Twitter app even in focus mode on the computer) and possibly a category for things that are neither productive or unproductive--for example, Amazon Music isn't really productive but if I mark it as unproductive, I can't use it while in focus mode. These aren't really complaints though--this is a great piece of software. > > Improve productivity and greater awareness of my activities. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/476566/Y-Productive?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/476566/Y-Productive) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
