Mathan Kot (ID: 000000535ce139ae) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/09/2021 I love your product because the design is simplistic and easy to use the product does not distract me because it has a simple aesthetic which makes it intuitive and efficient at its aim. The only problem with the product is that the window closes when you switch tabs. The product takes into account psychological aspects because 52 minutes to 17 minutes of rest is shown to be optimal ratio for working to resting periods. Studies have shown that resting periods are important to keep productivity at its peak. Thank you for Making this product
