Dominic Reyes
Dominic Reyes edits Anti-Procrastination Apps and keeps the scorecard that every ranking on the site is built from. He came to this after years of testing productivity software and watching the same pattern repeat: a polished first session, a burst of enthusiasm, and an icon quietly abandoned by the second week. So he stopped scoring the demo. What he records now is the boring part — the fourth or fifth real attempt to start something he would rather avoid, and whether the app was any help when it counted.
He set the rules the desk runs on. No figure is published without a source and a date next to it. Every review names, in plain language, the rival that does a given job better than our top pick. And anything we cannot confirm gets flagged, not guessed. His working question is unglamorous and the whole site turns on it: did this app actually get you moving, or did it just give you one more thing to tidy instead of working?
Dominic's interest sits with the apps that treat the reason a task feels impossible to begin — the avoidance underneath it — rather than the ones that only fence off a distraction for an hour. That lens shapes how this desk tests, scores and ranks.
