Greg Friedman (ID: 0000007e77b8b06d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/02/2023 This tool has saved my eyes and my sanity. It's so easy to get caught up in what I'm working on and this extension reminds me to take breaks throughout the day.

Brian Saturnino (ID: 000000cf5569bf0b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/22/2023 Not a lot of people use this extension relative to the others. I tried out the much more popular ones, but this one seems to work best for me. My only problem is that it gives a pop up way too late.
