Strict Workflow
Блокирует отвлекающие вас веб-сайты, дабы вы могли работать по технике управления временем «помодоро»
1. Click to start a 25-minute work timer, and work without distraction.
2. Click to start a 5-minute break timer, and kick back and relax.
3. Repeat until all your work is done.
=======================
What's new? (3 April 2012: version 1.5.0)
* Whitelist! Now, instead of saying "block these sites", you can alternatively say "only allow these sites".
* New option so that clicking on a running timer will cause it to restart. (Not cancel!) Off by default.
=======================
Features:
* Easy to use: just one click starts a work/break timer
* Easy to get started: pre-configured to block popular distracting websites
* Easy to personalize: block the sites that are most distracting to you or change the timer durations
* Blacklist or whitelist: either choose what sites to block during a work timer, or what sites to allow
=======================
Permissions:
* Your data on all websites
* Your tabs and browsing activity
In order to cover up blocked websites, we need permission to interact with them. We're open-source, so feel free to grab a programmer buddy and make sure that that's all we do: no website's content is read or stored in any way. https://github.com/matchu/Strict-Pomodoro
=======================
The Pomodoro Technique for time management is simple: work hard for 25 minutes without distractions, knowing that a 5 minute break is soon on its way. This extension helps you stay focused while you work by blocking the sites that can so easily distract us.
We pre-loaded the extension with a handful of popular distracting websites, but you can easily add new sites to the list, or, if you're daring, you can even create a whitelist of the *only* websites allowed during a work session. You can also change the lengths of the work and break timers - though I'd recommend against it: these times are default for a reason, so only change them if you're certain that they will make you more productive.
When we say "strict", we mean it. Once a work timer starts, there's no stopping it without straight-up disabling the extension or restarting the browser. This is for your benefit: I wrote this extension with myself in mind, and I know how tempting it can be to just give up when work gets too frustrating. Therefore, Strict Pomodoro actively discourages this behavior, though you can always disable the extension in case of emergency.

I really love it and it's a shame that such a great extension might be removed. I can recommend 'Strict Focus' as a good alternative, it's more that 100% the same as Strict Workflow.
I installed it on my chrome in mac, but when it ends one step, it when it continues to the next step, I must click it(tomato) one time, to let the time goes.
How do I turn on the app?
It works fine! And I'll get a notification when the time's up. Great! It does what I want; blocks sites and makes it annoying to get around shutting it off. Good, that'll make me go back to work as it's not worth the hassle trying to find a way to turn it off. The people complaining are looking for reasons to rag on this extension this makes me wonder why they're trying so hard to turn it off instead of actually working. That seems like another distraction to overcome. Developers probably have to abide by some rules were it has to be possible to uninstall an extension so, quit your complaining and get back to work slackers! I would like if it was on the right click mouse menu and the only options were: Add site to block list/remove site from block list And we can only remove one site per day though the right click menu so as to not abuse it. (Sometimes a person can miss click so it's important to have that the option to undo a mistake.)

There is no "turn off" option, I'll give it that. However, there are multiple ways to disable it quickly, the easiest of which is to simply open the console (Ctrl + Shift + i) and delete the blocking HTML. I can't say this will help me very much, seeing as I found a way around it in less than sixty seconds, but at least it works as advertised, albeit disappointing.

does a good job, but they blocked youtube which is something i play in the background to keep me focused. idk why but it doesnt let me edit my list of sites to block anymore and im not sure how to fix that

Super streamlined, no fuss, no bloat. Pomodoro extension with blocking! I do wish there was an option to automatically start the next 25min session after the break, but I understand why they would omit that.

Perfect!!! It's simple to use and it works fine. :) I'd love if the developer creates an android version synchronized with the browser extension.

Great job !
Great job !
There is no way to add websites that you are currently visiting.. so you need to add them manually, and cant create a streak of pomos to keep on going

Love this extension but it is taking access to read all the website or certain websites and has no information on the privacy policies, if they are using this to get every website you are visiting?

I love it! It's so useful and I get my work done fast. It lets me play songs using youtube and is super easy to use. I'd like the option to add sites to blocklist even when the timer is still running.

Внезапно после последнего обновления перестало работать совсем. Не позволяет изменять параметры (в том числе добавлять новые сайты в список или изменять старые), не блокирует сайты.
Does what it says it does and really improves my workflow. Instead of wasting 5 minutes here and 10 minutes there without getting anything done I can work straight through it. I only wish they would notify you when the pause is over

Dont think this works any more. Under no conditions can I edit the block list. Seems cool tho
If you block chrome web store and the chrome://extensions , then there is no way to stop the timer until it finishes. Also you can keep on blocking in incognito if you go to chrome://extensions then click on the extension and toggle allow in incognito mode on. Then you can literally not stop it.

This helps me so much with work. I have terrible self control and ADHA, and I can never getting work done and end up just watching something on youtube or going into some other crazy internet rabbit hole. Ive tried other things like this but I can never commit myself so I love how it cant be turned off.

Falta un history log de los pomodoros hechos. Y agregar otros sonidos a los tiempos de concentración y descanso
Simple and effective. I get blocked many times a day still and it feels good to actually get work done instead of falling into the facebook or reddit rabbit hole.

THANKS!!!!! right now I'm doing a full course load online with no library space to go to for focus when studying so this basically saved my life. I haven't been able to get a good study session down since my habits and willpower arent there yet to resist distractions myself so thanks a million

Nice extension, but, there are some serious flaws: 1. After 25 pomidor period, the sites are still blocked if I do not start a break. This forces me to disable it in chrome all the time. 2. There should be an option to pause the timer, not just to reset it on click. For example, I started a counter and I have an important call, that can't be ignored. I was to pause my timer.

It worked but so annoying when I accidentally click it when I'm doing something else. Also, nothing to stop me from going into guest mode.
