    there are countless apps that do the exact same thing and they have been out there for many, many years.

    I haven’t seen them changing anything.

    EDIT: also google knows this very well and the feature is clearly designed to be as useless as possible and to be ignored by 99% of the users.

      The feature is harder to turn off than traditional app timers, too, many of which can simply be ignored. Instead, Pause Point requires a phone restart to turn it off, Google says, which also makes you think before disabling it.

      Is that a common feature of third-party apps? I don’t recall hearing about that before, when reading about these types of apps.
