Patrik Lendvai (ID: 000000a24ed3242c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/02/2020 The app seems to be a good one, with the functions I need. However, I would like the app to save the time spent on each website for more than one day, to see the difference over time. Anyway, thank you for the extension.

Mutawalli Junayd Naser (ID: 000000a7795716ae) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/27/2020 Does exactly what it's made for, only when the extension is active you find out how often you are distracted and then this app is worth more than 5 stars.

Linda Fahey (ID: 000000f15eadba05) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/25/2020 To me the extension was a great blessing. It helped me improve my productivity by concentrating on my tasks. I love the fact that we can combine many groups / levels. I used to browse on the internet until late at night, and my sleep schedule had been messed up. I'm very happy that this stopped now. For everyone, this is a must have extension.
