Sync lookaway timer across multiple macOS instances

I know I sent this as feedback before but wanted to get it here for tracking. With multiple macOS instances I'd like the timers to be in sync. Now that syncing to iOS is possible maybe this will be doable? :)

I would also appreciate this! I often work side by side on different computers and end up skipping/missing breaks as a result. If I could sync them that would fix the problem for me.

Yes, now I truly feel the need for synchronization! After changing jobs, I acquired a work computer and am currently using LookAway on both simultaneously. The timer discrepancy is quite noticeable and poses a significant problem. I have lost the most crucial functionality - managing break periods.

Why just timers? Settings should also be saved across sessions.

Hi Spencer, yes - it definitely is possible now. I'll work on this for a future update!
