Review by Daddy
Rated 5 out of 5
by Daddy, 4 years agoI have the phone app for this, and I was very excited when I discovered the extension. While it doesn't have (or need) all the functionalities of the phone app - although I believe they are working on adding more - it does the main thing it is supposed to do (delay visiting a website). For me, this was honestly a huge deal. Just blocking websites using other extensions didn't work for me, I ended up unblocking them because I still wanted to visit the site itself. With this, it actively makes me reflect on why I want to visit the site, or if I want to visit it at all. I end up spending a lot less time on these websites, which I am very grateful for.
Overall, this extension has been a very big deal for me, just as the phone app has.
By the way, if you have similar issues with opening up apps on your phone and you have IOS - I highly recommend going to check out the phone app.
Edit in response to Frederik: Yes, I agree! The extension as-is works very well, being able to add websites to the list with a couple clicks, adjust exercise duration, and configure intentional switching is great and they all work seamlessly. Adding additional functionalities on top is just icing on the cake :)

posted 4 years agoThanks a lot for your feedback! You are right, we’ll improve the extension over time to add features from the iOS app. But we had to start somewhere, and I also thought that the extension as-is is already quite good in keeping you away to end up on distracting websites all the time. Thanks for understanding, and thanks for your support!

- Rated 4 out of 5by saloyu, 21 days agoReally helped me prepare for my exam. Does its job correctly. Maybe a bit annoying when it starts several breathing exercises at once every time the URL changes during the page load. Happens when you visit YouTube. Not too feature-rich but I guess that's forced since it's freemium.

- The best focus-friendly extension - Rated 4 out of 5by Nada Se, 3 months agoIt's a great app to reduce media addiction, but if your computer is old it can lag a lot

- Rated 5 out of 5by omeganintendo, 3 months agoI have tried it all. This toes the line between being restrictive and passive just enough that I won't uninstall it to get around it, but deters me.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Bee, 4 months agoI've had this for a while now, and it works wonders. It doesn't make you just want to delete it and use the website anyways, it actually helps you to rethink and reconsider what you actually want to do.

- Rated 5 out of 5by whaleshark, 6 months agoI've only had this for about a week and it's already successfully made me rethink my choice to mindlessly watch Youtube dozens of times. I'll get months of my life back

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19683861, 7 months agoIt does the job its supposed to do. Incredibly convenient that I can just use this on my phone and computer, and then combine it with leechblock to make looking at anything to inconvenient.
