Venezuelans cannot accept USD without a bank account. You can use paypal but its hard to exchange from paypal USD to the venezuelan currency (Bolivares)

Yeah I would like to have it in the dock too because when its full screen I can use cmd-tab and its easy to go back to the task that I'm supposes to be working on. I love that idea, I'll let you know when we have a new update!

We're building a MacOS app that helps you stay focused and beat procrastination.

The app holds your to-do list and automatically adds a timer function. The timer is activated when your to-do item has a number at the end. As in: "Get to zero inbox 30" That means the task is "Get to zero inbox" and the allotted time is 30 minutes. If that's the top item on the list, the timer starts instantly and automatically, with the full task appearing on your menu bar (This description comes from Mike Elgan 1)

You can check us out at http://www.tryeffortless.com.

Wishing you all good luck!

I'm very easily distracted, a habitual phone checker and struggle with my ability to focus. As a result my co-founder and I decided to make a Mac app that has a simple plain-text todo list, and which displays your current task and a countdown timer on your Mac’s menu bar. I feel that by seeing the task that I’m working on at all times it’s harder for me to get sidetracked, and the timer creates an artificial constraint that keeps me focused. I hope you find it useful, I really would love to know your opinion.
