Working on a similar product, more oriented towards time-boxing your entire life against constraints with the ability to reschedule on the fly.

For something less dystopian take a look at pushscroll. It’s an app that tracks you visually doing push ups (or squats or planks) and gives you minutes of unblocking time for each repetition.
Why do I want a piece of software monitoring me intentionally? It already happens against my will. It's already bad enough that Apple/Google monitors my sleep alarms. I've removed most of those.

Add ad tracking etc so what is this adding to the value of my life? You hope to get bought in a few years because you have a dataset (they) already have?
