Kotryna Vismante (ID: 0000000ef9a8b2d6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/20/2021 as a very lazy person who decides to take on very big important tasks, this extension is life changing. i can finally stop myself from browsing water filters or modern scandinavian lamps on amazon and focus on my problem sets. also, my 5 minute relaxation breaks no longer turn into three hour youtube binges because of the alarm feature. thank you minto!!

Christina Wei (ID: 000000c37657c048) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/20/2021 I've gotten way more productive after using Minto! I love how I'm able to customize my own rewards, block sites, and set timers! This has changed my productivity levels and makes me feel like I'm no longer wasting my day

Vivian Lin (ID: 00000097423ded01) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/20/2021 okay, here's the deal. i've been struggling with procrastination and distractions while trying to get my work done for a while now (after college applications were over my productivity was never quite the same) and have been on the hunt for an effective tool to keep my mind focused. i've tried apps, websites, planners, meditating... you name it, i've probably tried it. and nothing has really worked for me. then, i came across this beautiful little extension, minto, and my life has been changed since. there's something about the elegant simplicity of the features and graphics - no gizmos and gadgets and compicated settings to deal with. i really enjoy the customizable prizes i can create and whenever i spend the mints i've earned, it feels like i'm treating myself by "buying" something from the shop. all these features all work to boost my motivation and concentration and my work has since been revolutionized. and it's all thanks to minto.
