- (2023-05-17) Elaine Thomas: I honestly love this, it keeps me as much on track as you can for an expert procrastinator. Also for those wanting like an alarm for when their timer ends, here's what I do. I have my youtube blocked during the timer so before I turn on the timer I have a song that I put on loop and when the timers on, the song doesn't play and when the timer is finished it will automatically start playing and you will know when it's your break :)
- (2022-12-30) Abdullah al mahi: So far so good \
- (2022-07-24) Nicholas Consuegra: It doesn't send emails when the timer is terminated and I can't even change the timer. Does anyone know how to fix?
- (2022-04-23) Saulo Rojas Carrera: me ha gustado, pero me gustaría una opción ''infinita''.
- (2021-01-31) Yama bird: I like it because it doesn't allow me to edit the block list. The block works as excellent as it is. I WISH that the timer isn't limited on hours to block em. I wish it strictly doesn't allow anyone to stop the timer and so I can control my stubborn mind. Please add that feature. I would rate you guys 5 stars. PROMISE.
- (2021-01-25) Isaiah Lawsom: This app is the best extension that is focused on productivity. All the other web site blocking extensions usually come with some limit or caveat. However this one delivers all that is needed. I love the punishment or penalty of violating the timer, which is the only extension that offers something like this, at least, that's what I know from experience. A notification when the time is up would be ok, but at the same time, I like that there are no notifications. Once I get in the groove, I really don't need or want a notification to interrupt me. Thanks!
- (2021-01-15) KD Smith: Works really well! I need a notification when time is over, though! So I can track my work. A break timer timer would be nice too, but definitely need that option notification when the times up
- (2020-12-03) Armen Stepanyan: didn't work
- (2020-11-18) 毛芷灵: helpful and free!
- (2020-11-17) L F: This app is very helpful but please if possible, could a whitelist be added and I also agree with the other reviewer if a notification when time is over, and a timer for short 5 mins breaks and long breaks with all timers starting automatically (if possible) which is extremely helpful in the long run. Timers restarting automatically can be impactful when you get too immersed in a break.
- (2020-11-13) Rafał Ścisłowski: Works well even if the page is behind other page. I use it as an extension to the mighty STAYFOCUSD because Stayfocusd doesn't block pages behind the page that are "pointed" by you and this extension works whatever happens alghough it has less functionalities
- (2020-08-09) Laura Mojica: Unlike other apps, this has a minimalistic and pleasant design. I does the job at blocking the distracting websites you choose, but it needs at least two more features (i) a notification when time is over, and (ii) a timer for short 5 mins breaks and long breaks.
- (2019-10-27) ganya riya: I love this app. I'd like to want the function such that if timer is finish, alarm rings or pop up message. Thank you!
- (2019-10-03) Sal Fishman: LOVE IT! :)
- (2019-08-23) Lisa Tian: the most helpful extension I had, ever!
