Dave Watson (ID: 0000009db187cd9a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/05/2022 I love this app. It was exactly what I was looking for, but there is one problem. The Custom time keeps switching. I'm not sure if it is due to Chrome Profiles and sharing them between machines. But daily, I have to go in and modify my custom time stamp to Y-m-d h:i:sa - Super annoying when I forget to do it. If you can fix that, it would be worth more stars!
