Cristina Diaz (ID: 0000001b2ef17638) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/03/2021 I really enjoy this extension to remind me to gtfu and MOVE. For some reason however, the videos within the extension have become unavailable? I'm not sure if it is me or the extension.

Caitlin O'Brien (ID: 000000b3b36ee522) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/27/2019 Liking it so far, but no matter what interval I put in the settings (60 minutes, 30 minutes, etc.) I get reminders super frequently, like every couple of minutes. Of course, I'm free to ignore them, but then I don't have a good sense of which reminders to actually pay attention to unless I set a separate timer. It would be great if it worked the way it should!
