About 5217 for better productivity

According to findings from The Muse, frequent breaks throughout the day can improve productivity. Specifically, a piece published in the summer of 2014 found that the most productive cycle is comprised of 52 minutes of work followed by a 17 minute break.

5217, as you might have guessed, is a tool to record that cycle.

Using beautiful but subtle transitions, encouraging messages, and playful alarm tones, 5217 gently guides you through your work, allowing you to share how many cycles you were able to complete in a day when you're done.

Features options to automatically apply "Do not disturb" modes (starting with Android™ Marshmallow devices), or a simply daily alarm to remember you start your 52 minute work cycle to keep you sharp and ready for a new day!

With native Android™ Wear support you can Start, Stop and interact with its notification to glance the time left on your cycle directly from your watch. It's beautiful and convenient!

It's unique, it's experimental, and it's beautiful and fun too. If an hour of your time is worth more than $0.99 (it is), then this app will pay for itself :)

It's currently translated in Chinese Simplified, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish and Turkish.

Already loved this app, and the latest update made it even better! I can't believe how much more I've gotten done thanks to 5217, and the fact that it's awesomely minimalistic ans gorgeous is just a cherry on top of the milkshake. Can't recommend highly enough!

Worth every buck!

But a little buggy on a Nexus 5X. 1. At end of session I get multiple notifications until I go to app and acknowledge 2. Session counter does not update if I skip the break Sorry to be picky, but the app does one thing (which I love and wish more apps had such focus) so it should be more consistent.

J70%
by J####:

Don't waste your time, this app is rubbish!!! P.S. - Few months ago I wrote the developer a private message nicely raising my concerns about the usability of the app and what to change to make the app usable. Response: "The app is perfect as is: no need for change." Reality is that the app is completely useless. Don't waste your time and money with this rubbish.

by Z####:

I always look at the time passing by for 52 minutes, then I have to work really hard for 17 Minutes. Then I deserve a Coffee and so does the developer

H70%
by H####:

I would love this to automatically put my phone on do not disturb/priority notifications during the 52 cycle and then back to normal during the 17. I would also like there to be a pause for the 52 cycle too. Other than that I think it is a good buy.

T70%
by T####:

Needs more customization I want to set up custom work cycles for when the 52 / 17 work cycle might not be appropriate. I would also like the ability to pause in a work cycle.

by Z####:

I understand launcher shortcuts only work on Android 7.1, I'm running 7.0 . Could it be possible to make the shortcuts work on earlier versions of Android using a compatible launcher such as Action or Nova?

Love the simplicity of this app. Could you add do-not-distrub when the timer is on? Will love the app still anyways :-)

by Z####:

I really like this app, great job. It looks clean and simple. However could you add a pause button and add theme options to change the colors. Just a few suggestions, thanks.

Found a glitch where when i get a notification and the LED comes on, it stays flashing and doesn't turn off unless I turn the phone off (including FB messenger,) even after I turn off the LED from settings.

Z70%
by Z####:

Very simple and straightforward. exactly what I was looking for. :) Please add multiwindow support on Android 7, it scales well but keeps crashing.

LED indicator doesn't seem to be working during the cycle on my Nexus 5X...other than that its a GREAT app, simple and useful

T70%
by T####:

Love the app, but it would be so nice to have an automatic start time for work hours because sometimes I forget to start the app when I get started working for the day

F*cking revolutionary idea from 2014

It does exactly what it says and it does it well. Nice app

Keep in productivity

C70%
by C####:

I really like the idea and design but there are some issues with timer update. When I look at my moto 360 it doesn't update the time and shows me outdated info. The same is about persistent notification on the phone. I have to open an 5217 app on my phone to see the actual time remainder. It extremely irritates during work. Fix and 5 stars :)

S70%
by S####:

App works great (great dev as always) but I'd really love to use a custom work cycle, like 47/14 instead of 52/17. Five stars anyway. :)

Z70%
by Z####:

Works as advertised. It's a nice timer, has nice alarming features, and doesn't overcomplicate things.

Z70%
by Z####:

I use this all the time when I study, and I get twice as much memorized! And, I actually remember everything! I'm also able to do my homework twice, or may I dare say, triple as quick!

52+17=69

Z70%

Must have for anyone that works.

I70%
by I####:

Nice design that translates well to my Nexus 9, misleading that it says 'designed for phones'. A pause feature would also be nice.

Z70%
by Z####:

I am loving this app, but when I look at my android wear device there is no counter for how much time is left, considering that android wear devices are timepieces, it is essential for there to be some level of support for Android wear for this productivity app to reach its full potential

Y70%
by Y####:

The app works as advertised, and really helps concentrate on work, has good feedback on when cycles end. Recommended for everyone!
