The "context history" feature shows the actions that lead to an activity and allows you to start right from where you end. Only some tools provide it.

@violetta_chernobuk  I’d love to see more productivity tools include a 'focus mode' that temporarily disables or filters out all non-essential features and notifications. This mode would only show the core tools needed for the task at hand, keeping the interface ultra-clean. Additionally, a built-in 'reflection' feature that lets users quickly log progress, challenges, and insights at the end of the day or week would be invaluable. This way, the tool itself becomes a record of personal productivity and growth over time!

Answer

I wish every tool had a built-in focus mode that blocks distraction across all apps not just within the tool itself.
