• (2023-01-02) Joel 722: Thank you for the extension, Works mostly, but if you click the Skip Popup on the lower right of the screen, it does not skip and the break screen shows.
• (2022-09-08) José Ángel: Funciona genial. Gran aplicación.
• (2022-09-04) Vince Antonucci: It was great until it blocked ever going to Chrome Web Store again. It took me a few minutes to figure out why every time I would attempt to go to Chrome Web Store, I was being redirected to a specific website. The only thing I had done was install this extension. I disabled this extension and I was able to back to the Web Store again.
• (2022-01-24) Bree Walters: GREAT app. It is extremely useful. I would change one thing. The ability to add sites you want to block off during working hours! I would have all my employees using this extension if we had that option!
• (2022-01-06) N1ck: Отличное расширение. Пользуюсь несколько лет. Минимум функционала, как раз только то, что мне нужно. Ничего лишнего.
• (2021-12-29) Mikhail Milchakov: О да, отличная штука
• (2021-12-29) Wenhua Zzz: Great extension Want to add statistical data function

• (2021-06-01) uOcool: perfect
• (2021-05-24) Elaine Nguyen: I LOVE the fullscreen popup notificaiton!
• (2021-01-14) Liz O'neil: Realmente es buena, me gusta porque me obligo a tomar un justo y merecido descanso. Solo me gustaría que al terminar el break, sonara la alarma para hacerme saber que ya debo regresar .
• (2021-01-14) Lucy Jiang: Great App! However, can you please add an option for us to customize how many seconds our breaks are? Ideally, I'd have 30 second breaks every 30 minutes, so that I wouldn't have to manually close the window myself. A minute is a bit too long for me. Anyway, this app is a great addition to anyone's self-care routine, especially for those who are on the computer all day long. Thanks! :)
• (2020-12-16) Dopamine: 丸美就完了
• (2020-11-12) Ohee Mohammad: Literally saved my life
• (2020-06-28) John Murphy: This is the best pomodoro enabling extension I have found so far although I am using the deprecated Chrome extension on a Chromebox. I don't use Windows, MacOS or Linux so the app wouldn't help me. I like the auto start particularly. I gave you a very small donation in token of that... Two suggestions: 1. Enforce the breaks. Other apps flip or lock the display until the end of the break. 2. Keep the break running until a user action is detected. Five stars if you can do those two things in the extension!
• (2020-04-15) Venator: Good.
• (2020-03-09) Srinath Varkala: Works perfect
• (2020-03-04) Stephanie: I used to love this app and use it for work every day. Maybe it's the recent Chrome updates, but the app has stopped working this past month. I get the popup that the break will happen soon...and the break never comes. It just starts the countdown again. Also, disabling the break doesn't work if I have more than one Chrome window open. I suggest you try another break app until this one is updated and debugged.
• (2020-02-22) Hoang Anh Vo: I love this app. Can I show you my ideas that might develop your app futhur ?
• (2020-02-13) John Kowalczyk: Perfect, simple "take a break" tool that works either as a browser extension or installed app In my opinion it's excellent, does its job
• (2020-01-20) Nathan T.: Exactly what I need! Thanks Devs!
• (2020-01-12) Gugle Konto: Ideales Tool zur Selbstorganisation. Ich nutze es zur stündlichen Entspannung und zur Stündlich 3 minütigen Pause mit Sport. Also als Energypush mental und physisch. Klasse
• (2019-10-24) a a: This helps me alot as I can get stressed quite alot while trying to learn programming languages online. Thanks for this, I needed this alot!
• (2019-10-21) Zhengqiang Tan: 非常赞，小清新！
• (2019-07-18) Amnon Levav: This is an amazing extension, except I can't set the timer to times between midnight and 1AM.
• (2019-06-20) Tommaso Sebastianelli: Really well done, nice UI, never misses a beat.
• (2019-05-14) Макаров: Отличный полнофункциональный таймер с кучей настроек.
• (2019-04-24) James Kagbara: Disable feature is not consistent .Break still starts even if you disable it
• (2019-04-21) M.Mojtaba Monemi: Thanks for your great extension!
• (2019-04-11) 周智: 阔以
• (2019-03-22) Xiang Ji: This app is simple and awesome! Good to have with Chrome browser.
• (2019-03-19) Vasu Kurapati: This app is simply awesome, after an year shifted to other app just bcoz Long Break feature after 4 breaks. i request someone to please confirm existence this feature in this app.
• (2019-03-12) Jonathan Le: Im a melon and I need no breaks, but I say that it is pretty good.
• (2019-02-02) Seethu Natarajan: Awesome extension. Especially love that it auto starts! The only change I would request is a button to restart the "Break frequency" countdown, along side the "Disable breaks" button. Yes, I know its there in the Settings menu, but thats one additional click. Or even better, you could support keyboard shortcuts for the "restart break frequency" action (and other actions) via chrome://extensions/shortcuts Great job again!
• (2019-01-21) Eric Azizian: I quite enjoy using this break timer (when I remember to actually take the break instead of skipping through it). Definitely worth trying out!
• (2018-12-24) Michał Urbanek: I think option to set break for shorter time would be nice. Anyway almost perfect. And browser is where it should be.
• (2018-11-01) Srivatsan: Absolutely perfect app. I have been searching for an app that would prompt me to stand up for a while now and none of them work as well as this one. The developer of this app is having a really improving lives!
• (2018-10-05) C. Cameron: A lot of nice customization options, including extensive colour choices and it does the job on prompting me to get up better than anything else I have seen on Windows 10/Chrome browser. On the other hand, getting Action Centre notifications that I have to clear up (almost) all the time is an annoyance and it appears I have to disable all Google Chrome browser notifications going to the Action Centre to get this to stop - which is not workable for me as I have other extensions. And, especially, the product doesn't seem to properly react to the specified inactivity period option I set or the PC going into sleep mode even, and since clicking 'skip' on the notification of impending break does not stop the break coming either, I'm getting a lot of breaks I shouldn't get / have to turn around and click on to stop. Further, it sometimes doesn't put out the usual warning of an impending break and also doesn't support multi-monitor setups (which can, ha ha, make it tempting to just continue during the break on the second monitor!). I like to support such efforts as these with $$$'s, but this needs a little more work before I do so.
• (2018-09-19) Jocelyn O'tron: This app is wonderful- please make ADHD friendly variants of sound/colour, it stops working for us after a while
• (2018-08-31) Ritchie Rosson: Does the job great. Big notice comes up to take a break! Just don't let yoursrlf close it without taking a break! Look aftet your eyes folks : )
• (2018-08-15) ELLA STEWART: Ehh, didnt work out. I mean its good, but takes a while to load the screen also. I didnt need it, im really every on the laptop. Dont need it, but it is VERY good, and tells the truth, some extensions lie, and are fake.
• (2018-07-05) Botond Kopacz: Pretty straightforward with lots of customization options. Tried several others, this one suited my needs best. Recommend it.
• (2018-05-31) JazzyVibes Davis: I wear reading glasses. This will be so helful to m.
• (2018-05-04) Gerard Teichman: Simple to use, pleasant reminders. Reduces eyestrain.
• (2018-04-22) Prajwal S Nayak: Excellent, its exactly what I was looking for. One suggestion: Make the extension run in the background (even when chrome is closed). Add more options to postpone for multiple time durations. Anyways it has a good beep sound, I like it.
• (2018-04-04) _RryanT: Muito bom, bem útil e com várias opções de configuração.
• (2018-02-25) narcolethe: Nice little app. I like it. Keeping track of when I should get up and move around. Yeah, well, cute little app developers should just QUIT ASSUMING THAT I'M AWAKE DURING THE DAY OK THANKS!!!! If you can't tell I'm being driven crazy by the amount of great looking apps that don't allow for the fact that I get up at 9pm and go to bed at 1pm. Please take this into account so that I can enable and set working hours!!!! "Breaks from MUST BE EARLIER than breaks to" does not account for us vampires who need it to go the other way around! Thank you.

• (2021-09-07, v:1.2.1) Dominika _: Feature Request
  Hi there, It would be great if there was an option to a) pause the timer, and b) keep it on top (like the Zoom option. Otherwise, a great product :) Cheers!~
• (2021-01-14, v:1.2.1) Lucy Jiang: Break Time Customization
  Hi there - Do you ever plan on adding an option for us to customize how many seconds our breaks are? I noticed that we can only change how many minutes they are. Thanks!
• (2020-06-27, v:1.2.1) John Murphy: Enforceable breaks
  It would be nice to have a option that enforces the break period such as inverting the break screen to make working difficult during the break.
• (2020-04-03, v:1.2.0) Anne van der Wal: How can I stop break timer?

• (2019-07-18, v:1.1.0) Amnon Levav: How to set the timer to times between midnight and 1AM?
  This is an amazing extension, except I can't set the timer to times between midnight and 1AM. How to do it? Please advise ... The "Break from" field can only start at 1AM the earlier. And the "Break to" can only end at 11:59PM. So how to do it?
• (2019-06-02, v:1.1.0) Scott Lent: break length

• (2019-02-22, v:1.1.0) Charles Botensten: Break
  Hi - was wondering if we could do breaks in seconds as well as minutes. Some days, when in 'deep work' mode, one minute is too long - prefer 30 seconds.
• (2018-11-12, v:1.1.0) Jim Pfefferkorn: No Notifications!
  I no longer receive notifications from Break Timer. I can't figure out why! Please assist. I love this app - when it works!

  That would be great. I am willig to help.
• (2018-09-20, v:1.0.4) How do you postpone a break?
  Everytime it is break time my only option is to disable break. I have the postpone and skip break buttons checked in options but they don't come up at the time my break time starts. So it is take a break or disable as only options. How do I get the postpone and/or skip options or how do I use them?
• (2018-09-11, v:1.0.4) Google broke the button support in the notifications
  Recently, Chrome began to display notifications natively in Windows. When this happened on my Windows 10 Enterprise pc, the buttons stopped working. If I click "postpone 3 minutes," the notification will go away but the break will still start a few seconds later. Since I'm often mid-task when this happens, I end up closing the break and sometimes forgetting about it entirely. Please look into this, I love this extension but it is nearly useless when I don't have the option to delay for a couple of minutes until I'm ready to take the break.
• (2018-08-16, v:1.0.4) Pulkit Sood: Imperative mode
  after n postpones or skips, a b reak should be imperative.. that is cant be skipped... though can/can't be exited
• (2018-03-19, v:1.0.3) Sem Brys: Full-Screen On top
  Hi there, thank you for the app, really helpful! Is it possible to add an 'always on top' function or something similar? Because when I am working in a program (Adobe After Effects for example) the break timer does pop up, but only behind all the apps that are open, and it has a flashing icon on the task bar (indicating that it is an application that popped up). For me it would be more effective if it popped up immediately over every application that is open.
