(2020-03-27) Sydney Sharp: I love this extension! It's my favorite site blocker EXCEPT that it doesn't seem to work in Incognito Mode! Most of my browsing happens in Incognito Mode since I'm on my computer at the office. This extension would be perfect if it weren't for that. I hope it gets fixed!

(2019-04-28) Dutch Whiskey: Works great. Thanks! Feature suggestions: 1. Auto-start when Chrome starts 2. Custom Messaging when alarm banner pops up. 3. Extend Message banner time before disappears... if possible

(2019-01-31) Кирилл Мороз: It's good to see that someone had finally implemented the pomodore technique and sites blocking in one tiny extention. I like the feature that opened blocked sites will automatically restore when a break time begins.

(2020-04-05, v:5.0.0) Jascha: Daily Schedule
Hey, thanks for this great extension. It has truly helped me increase my productivity. My question is if you have any plans to incorporate a kind of "daily schedule"? My problem is that I like to put off starting the extension and lose a lot of time thanks to that behaviour. Ideally, I would like to have the extension auto-start at a given time that I specific beforehand. Is there any way that you could implement something like this? Let's say I plan to start at 10am the next day and work until 6pm with a break of an hour. But I know that I'll start at 1pm or so if I don't hit that starting point and might spend my time somewhere else. My idea is that I program the extension the day before to start automatically at 10am and thereby force me to work on my stuff. That way I can do whatever I want in the morning and still start my work punctually. The next step could be to implement an individual schedule for each day or something like that. I'd greatly appreciate an upgrade like that.
(2020-03-22, v:5.0.0) Hugh Y: Export Data
Hi! Great extension! Do you have any plans to add a feature (or maybe a workaround?) to export Statistics data?
(2020-03-16, v:5.0.0) Marian Alexandru Alecu: Potential acquisition
Do you have any interest in selling this extension? I saw little development recently and I'd love to take it to the next level :D Best, Alex [email protected]
(2019-05-30, v:5.0.0) Jordan: Pause on new cycle not working?
With the pause on new cycle setting checked, after a work session is complete, it starts the "break" section paused. The icon is green, there is no timer, just the letter P. If I click the icon I can click start, which starts the work session over. Shouldn't the new cycle begin with the work session? I want to manually start my work session, but still have a timer for the breaks.
(2019-05-30, v:5.0.0) Jordan: Can the blocker be set as an overlay, rather than redirect?
I don't know the best way to describe the feature, but imagine instead of completely blocking access to a webpage, the webpage still loads, and instead the blocker adds an overlay that does not allow you to click on the website, or interact with it. The URL bar shows the original URL address. One specific use of this is if you want to have a YouTube video playing in the background for audio only, but still blocking you from interacting and browsing on YouTube. Another case would be if you have a session open in a tab, but do not want to lose it or refresh the page, it is simply "hidden" until the break period. There are many instances where refreshing a page is unwanted and interrupts a specific functionality whether the tab is focused or not.
(2019-05-30, v:5.0.0) Jordan: Can you start the timer with a single click, rather than opening the menu?
I would like to start the timer by simply clicking on the extension icon once, instead of clicking twice, once to open the menu, another to click start. I don't find it necessary to have the options menu under the same left click menu, when you can simply right click if you want to go to the options. Statistics menu can be nested on the options page. Ideally users could be able to toggle this in the options if they prefer opening the menu. The extension is about productivity, and it may seem small, but removing an unnecessary mouse click goes a long way when you're in the zone working away.
(2019-04-23, v:5.0.0) Felipe Ferr: Falha
Facebook nao esta mais bloqueando as paginas.
(2019-02-22, v:5.0.0) Кирилл Мороз: Block third-level domains
The extension blocks "onliner.by" but does not block "realt.onilner.by" and so on. Please make it block all the pages of third- and lower level domains.
(2019-01-02, v:5.0.0) Garik Tate: The Extension keeps reverting to the default sound
Hey so I added a little 7 second mp3 file to the extension since I didn't really like the default sound. Adding it was no problem, but now every couple of days it reverts back to the default sound (which I don't like). And I have to go back into the options and change it back. Screenshot of the problem: https://www.screencast.com/t/ZV9ONCD7x9cJ
(2018-12-26, v:5.0.0) Suggestion - count UP timer!
Hi! Thx for a GREAT extension. Would suggest adding the ability to activate until åpaused/stoped and showing a count UP timer in the icon. This way i can keep track on not working in to short - or long - blocks but at the same time not get interrupted ata pre set time if in flow at that time. Merry X-mas! /Nick
(2018-12-11, v:5.0.0) Alicia Bustos Garrido: alarma
hola me ha parecido muy buena, pero me gustaría saber si tiene la opción de alarma para avisar que haz dejado de trabajar o tu tiempo de descanso se termino seria bueno ya que uno no siempre esta al lado del computador Gracias
(2018-10-09, v:5.0.0) Patrick Flynn: Automatically Enable Timer
Great app, there is sure to be an increasing demand for this sort of thing as dopamine manipulation is now seen as 'best practice' here on the internet. Is there a way to automatically enable the timer upon first opening chrome? Thanks!
