- The only reason I'm not giving it a 1 is because it still works well on my phone. These versions (the desktop and browser) suddenly decided to completely break on me yesterday for no reason. It used to work fine but after I had spent a suspicious amount of time on a website I went to go check what was up on the desktop and it wasn't tracking anything anymore, I tried to edit the limits I had to see if it would work and it didn't even let me do that. The browser version was just stuck endlessly loading, I couldn't even see the limits I originally set on it (my internet completely was/is fine). I don't understand what went wrong as I hadn't tweaked the application since I originally downloaded it months ago, I'm not sure what I will do if it doesn't fix itself

- i think it was game changing. Because you can't track all your device in all in one. but i think the notifications its very bad like "your screen time was very bad, you was lost from avarege user" i think it was relevent but its just make user feel screen time anxiety. And i think it was bad

- Life changing. A feature we need is a desktop that manages all of the different chrome profiles so we can manage everything with the desktop app.

- The app is great. It would be helpful to be able to exclude url paths - https://www.facebook.com/messages*, so that I can chat with people without this counting toward the facebook limit.

- Overall helpful extension. Only the syncing between the app and extension is awful :( If you set an overall limit of 10 minutes for a website, since the syncing's so bad, once you use up your time on your phone, you'll be able to spend another 10 minutes on your desktop

- its literally the best , been using for over a year. It also keeps bringing in new updates. the fully detailed overview , and syncing across all device , be it for usage or limits is really good. Its also blocks everything perfectly and we can even set up a challenge so as not to just turn off the limits whenever we want. overall a really good experience.

- It's kind of buggy at times but it is working as intended. I especially like the "IN-Blocking" feature for apps and websites.
- Malery W
- I've enjoyed this for some time but it seems the Luna AdBlock ad keeps popping up.
- Islam haouas
- Best app in this distruction era. Exactly what I was looking for since long time ago. I noticed that Edge browser extension has more feature that do not exist here in chrom such as "Max Time Allowed per Day" Please add these features as well in chrome.
- Ethan Karlinsey
- Worked well, but then started spamming annoying overlays for Luna Adblock, which would disappear after a split second. Sometimes it would block the UI just as I was trying to click mute on a video, taking me to another page. website blockers are supposed to do their job and stay out of the way, but stay free does not do this.
- Anvesh Narayan
- please just add whitelist mode for complete distraction removal, otherwise it is perfect and is exactly what is expected
- Shivin Dhar
- Please add a blocker for the updated YT more videos option that V more videos button

- Works great for me
- Swift Kordyne
- This extension has worked great for me for months, until suddenly it broke a website I need to use for work. I don't have the website anywhere in my usage limits and it does not display the blocked page, instead giving an XML error. This wasn't happening a few days ago and I haven't changed any settings, but disabling the extension fixes the problem. Although this can be "fixed" by disabling StayFree per site with the Extensions Menu Access Control experimental feature, it also forces the extension into "ask on every visit" permission mode, rendering it useless (disabling all extensions on the specific website does not work). It's a shame, as this extension had been wonderful before this.

- I love this app and it helps me to stay productive and track any distractions I come across, anytime. I'd give this 5 stars if it weren't for the few privacy concerns regarding this, otherwise its a great extension! Most helpful one I've had so far.
- sushil kumar yadav
- very nice time management app
- Adam Harris
- It's the real deal. Used a lot of apps, but none of them work as well as StayFree based on it's cross device and in app functionality. Love it. They've done great work here.
- Sayan Banerjee
- It works like a charm on stopping excessive usage but the only downside is I want to block the extension's website itself so that I can't access those distracting websites which is not being possible as of the moment. If this feature is added it will be the best focus extension and app as well for PC user's digital well being.
- Benedict “Monklett” Rowlett
- Works as advertised. Free, quick and hassle free.I consider this to be the benchmark for a good extension.
- Connor Strzelewicz
- Fantastic tool for increasing productivity and reducing doom-scrolling and activity on various other apps/sites.
