- This extension is really helpful in managing distractions. Highly recommend using it.

- Verified: Actually private Audited both the GitHub repo and installed extension files. Zero network calls, no analytics, no tracking. Only two external URLs: welcome page on install and changelog on updates. Everything else stays on your device using local storage only. Most extensions claim privacy but phone home. I checked the code, you can verify it yourself on GitHub. This one's legit.
