Nicholas Vaughn (ID: 0000001929a3c9cb) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/09/2018 Thanks for the extension. REALLY needs its own volume control though or just lower the default volume haha the beep is a bit obnoxious and loud. I've had to lower system volume to almost nothing (6%), to compensate in order to hear anything else I need individual volume extensions that increase their volume above 100%. No one else is having this issue? Btw I can't seem to target this extension's volume with individual volume extension (Volume Master). Also future idea Pomodoro conditioned his 'flow' with a different sound when the break was ended. Maybe this could be a future feature. Keep up the good work!
