Foqos 1.29.2 is now out. When you start a timer session you can hide the stop button. You gotta wait till the time runs out so you can access those apps.

I've gone from 100 downloads a month to over 10k a month in Foqos. Reflecting back on it's strange, have so many mixed emotions, will write a blog post celebrating the 1 year and challenges I face growing.
