Work Session Feature Disabling

  • Status: Accepted
  • Date: 2021-02-17

Context and Problem Statement

What features could we add to the app that would emphasize productivity and differentiate our app from others like it?

Considered Options

  • Work session feature disabling

No other options discussed

Decision Outcome

Chosen option: Work session feature disabling was chosen primarily to cater towards the user base that are likely using our Pomodoro app because they may get distracted easily. Disabling certain features of the application such as customization or the about page during the Pomodoro work session may help to dissuade them from procrastinating on unnecessary things and focus on their work.

2021-03-09 Update: To specify, we are continuing to disable the settings, info page, and statistics buttons as they are not necessary to be explored during a work session. However, instead of disabling the settings button directly, we plan on allowing the user to open the settings button and disabling every feature in the settings button except volume. This decision was made as to give leniency in adjusting the timer notification sound, in which it is very important that it is louder or quieter depending on the user.
