matt wilkieI like focus booster and think you have a something solid to work with, from, and for. I don't think a pozible/kickstarter campaign is the right way to fund it (though feel free to prove me wrong!). Saying for $xxx we will deliver Y & Z as-yet-unmade features in a software development project is signing yourselves up for stress and misery as the deadline looms closer and closer, the list of unforeseen complications grows longer and deeper, and the voices of supporters, now transmogrified into your debt masters, become shriller and more strident. "Is it ready yet? How much longer? I paid for this you know!" A corporation can promise in advance, *sometimes*, as they generally have some fat and meat they can cannibalize (e.g. staff, salaries) when the deadline is near. History is littered, nay carpeted, with companies that didn't make it though. You on the other hand would be falling back on your own real life fat and meat to get yourselves through. Here's an alternative approach. It'll take longer, (perhaps, depends on the time horizon), but would be less stressful and possibly just plain old more enjoyable. Develop small incremental improvements and hold them hostage until they're paid for, and those who pay get to use them for X months before everyone else. Break the $55k target you have now into 50 pieces at a $1k each. For the record, I'm not a software developer, don't sell stuff, and don't run my own business. So this could be just so much hot air. However I've been following software and technical projects rise and fall, mostly fall, for a couple of decades and have observed a few prevalent patterns.12y

Daniel KelleyI am currently a full time uni student and before discovering Focus Booster tended to sit unmoving for hours at a time at my desk doing assignments etc. I came across Focus Booster early in 2013, and installed it to try it, and now it keeps me on track to get up, move around and do a few stretches every 25 minutes or so. I soon found it does exactly what it claims. I stay fresher, more focused and by having that regular break I get more work done in less time. Thanks team. Great app. Hope you reach your target and realise your dream. Daniel Kelley Canberra12y

Zachary RussellI love focus booster. As a freelance developer / business owner it is a great unobtrusive tool to break up my day into manageable pieces. If you need help developing the android or iPhone app, let me know -- i'd be glad to dedicate some time to this tool. Thanks!12y

Igor GriffithsWell hello peeps, glad to put some money down to help you take this great app forwards. The ticking countdown in my headset really keeps me moving whilst the break ensures I remember to actually take a break before I collapse from geeky exhaustion :)12y
