• Latest stable version
• Full version (i.e. not a trial version)

Some Indication of Popularity/Repute

Made by Hello Code (Melbourne, AU), the company behind the long-running quantified-self service Exist (operating since 2014). The app has a public roadmap/changelog at https://changemap.co/hellocode/foreground/ and browser extensions for Chrome/Firefox/Edge. It is a paid app (30-day full-featured trial, perpetual licence) in the same category as extras/rescuetime.
