I like the way it tackles distractions differently than a lot of other tools. The fact that it doesn't block websites outright but gives them a sort of loading time is pretty neat since that way I don't just automatically revert to the reflex of just disabling the tool. Also, greyscale is pretty great too. Overall a great tool that can work great alongside other strategies.
