Missing a session recording? Not a problem, we just added a new feature so you can add session directly with start/end time. The button is in "Recent Activity" and also "Session History" page. #getstartnow

Anyone have successfully growing your app adoptions here? AI suggests me build in public, share progress, and reply to others consistently. Wonder what are your tips or lessons to share.

"How was my productivity this week?" You can now ask Claude that — with real answers from your StartNow data. We just shipped MCP integration. Connect your AI assistant for daily reports, weekly trends, and session management via natural language. getstartnow.app/docs#mcp
