Break Timer Extension

------------------------------------

Break Timer is now deprecated in favour of the standalone desktop app, which is available at https://breaktimer.app.

------------------------------------

Break Timer allows you to set up customizable breaks and will remind you to take them. Taking breaks whilst working or studying is crucial in preventing RSI, eye-strain and tiredness.

Break Timer allows you to customize:
* How long your breaks are and how often you wish to have them
* Whether to be reminded with a simple notification or a fullscreen break window
* Working hours so you are only reminded when you want to be.
* Colour and text of break window and notifications
* Whether to play a gong sound at break start and end
* Whether to allow skipping, postponing and ending of breaks

Break Timer will also intelligently restart your break countdown (optionally) when it detects that you have not been using the computer for some amount of time.

-----------------------

BreakTimer is free and open source. The code is available at https://github.com/tom-james-watson/breaktimer and contributions and bug reports are very welcome.

Joel 722 (ID: 0000004b4404ca96) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/02/2023 Thank you for the extension, Works mostly, but if you click the Skip Popup on the lower right of the screen, it does not skip and the break screen shows.

José Ángel (ID: 0000001513a71c9b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/08/2022 Funciona genial. Gran aplicación.

Vince and Bobbie Antonucci (ID: 00000093e320b4e6) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/04/2022 It was great until it blocked ever going to Chrome Web Store again. It took me a few minutes to figure out why every time I would attempt to go to Chrome Web Store, I was being redirected to a specific website. The only thing I had done was install this extension. I disabled this extension and I was able to back to the Web Store again.

Bree Walters (ID: 000000b3b725ba7a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/24/2022 GREAT app. It is extremely useful. I would change one thing. The ability to add sites you want to block off during working hours! I would have all my employees using this extension if we had that option!

N1ck (ID: 00000029c440c60f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/06/2022 Отличное расширение. Пользуюсь несколько лет. Минимум функционала, как раз только то, что мне нужно. Ничего лишнего.
