"Useful tool for measuring activity and planning and allocating time"
13 September 2018
I'm generally not a fan of 'productivity' tools - most don't work that well or they require too much time to manage. I purchased Y-Productive after using the demo version for a few days as it is a useful tool for measuring activity and that feeds into planning and allocating time to specific tasks and projects.
For many users the key feature will be the 'Focus Mode' that stops you from going down the rabbit hole of distraction when you spend a lot of time in front of a connected computer, but for me it is a tool to give a reasonably accurate measure of time spent on specific tasks and projects so that in future planning and allocation of time can be more accurate and realistic.
It's common for us all to underestimate the time that tasks will take; Y-Productive shows actual time expended. This can be fed back into future project plans giving more realistic timeframes and costs.
Y-Productive is also good for spotting areas where efficiencies can be (or should be) introduced and to ensure that sufficient time is spent on important tasks that may not be urgent.
A key factor in the purchasing decision was that customer support is responsive and suggestions do get fed back to the development team.
Most 'productivity' tools get used for a few weeks before being abandoned, but Y-Productivity looks like it will be joining the select few that become an integral part of the working day and actually make a positive contribution to time management.
Pros:
- Simple interface
- Does a good job of tracking activity
- Doesn't require much user intervention
- Nice visual reporting
Cons:
- Takes a bit of time to classify productive/unproductive sites/apps
- A few tracked items aren't easily identifiable
- A few quirks in the UI
- Would be nice to track activity across desktop and laptop

"Good time tracker with plenty of space for improving"
1 October 2018
I used Y-Productive for a couple of days to get a first-hand experience, and I liked it -- a quite.
However, maybe I'm used to Timing, or indeed Y-Productive lacks some of the functionality I use every day, I felt it's not ready for me yet.
Nevertheless, as I previously said, I liked what I saw, and I'm looking forward to giving it another drill once my Timing subscription ends.
Pros:
Maybe the first thing you notice when you launch Y-Productive for the first time is the clean and beautiful interface. While some people may think it's 'a little too much clean,' the truth is that it fulfills its objective without flooding the screen with non-relevant information.
I also absolutely love that developers underwent the effort to make the application run as a Chrome extension so even GNU+Linux users will have the chance to enjoy Y-Productive.
Cons:
I'm currently using Timing.app, which excellent, and already paid for the annual subscription (not that I especially like this business model).
Timing is also a more mature application, and you learn from the very first moment you run them both side by side.
Said that, and judging from my experience with Y-Productive, I'm already considering switching to it once my current plan with Timing ends.

"Rest In Peace Procrastination"
17 September 2018
Good and great. These two words because anything that helps me stay on task is great and good because I like to use it but I still think it can be better
Pros:
I liked the fact that you can track your productivity with real time data and use that to see where you can improve. I think it's really good and can help a lot pf people see how good they're doing.
Cons:
I didn't like the way the listing was. Somehow you can't really plan for future events which is annoying but it still works fine and I like using it.

"Easy to use but lack the stickiness factor"
20 September 2018
It was a good experience. I enjoyed the simplicity of it. But i cant grasp why it wont stick into my daily routine. Probably im too scared to see all the list ive made and how much I havent achieved yet. Makes me overwhelmed and miserable.
Pros:
I like how simple it is to use the software! It is easy to understand and it makes sense. Several features such as subtask is needed but overall the whole experience is good.
Cons:
Lack of features. I like the add project features where you can create different tab for different project but i'd like to go more in depth on that. I guess it would be really cool is I can set Goal objective and break it down to monthly goal, weekly goal and daily goal. But it depends on the direction the developer wants to take. I understand adding more features to the app can make it too bloated.

"Best productivity tool"
28 October 2018
Pros:
It allows you to find out the small things which distract you
It allows you to see what triggers continuous concentration
It is a tool which makes you more disciplined and better at what you do
You will accomplish more for less time
This will not only be for work but other stuff you do on your laptop
I am a developer and maybe there is some kind of a bias to my opinion
Cons:
I did not find this earlier
There are disciplined cons but suggestions for future releases:
- A place where people can submit ideas to the developers and vote on them for It is. I visited such a website earlier but cannot remember its name
- A mobile application for distraction tracking
