- Rated 4 out of 5by guy who foxes, 8 hours agoReally great extension! Been using it the past week or so to manage my usage with one website.
There is already a good amount of customization to be had; however, I wish there was just a little bit more there. For example, I wish that, when you start a productive session, you could move around where the intention is on the screen rather than have it on the bottom (inconvenient for me when I do use my distracting website), or at least have a setting to change the position to top, bottom, left, right, etc. I would also like to see the ability to customize how long automatic cooldowns last (they're currently 30 seconds). And it would be nice to see some sort of protection against changing the settings, like waiting for a timer or having to put in a password. I've had to manage the easy access to the extension's settings using another app blocker to stop myself from removing the website from my distracting sites list.
Overall, love the concept of this and have been finding success with another small modification using an app blocker on my part, but would just like to see the ability to further customize features and settings. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18986263, a year ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by crlsktr shorty, 2 years agoThis should be a must on environments that you intend to use productively. It let be put a check on the habit of opening new tabs and immediately opening youtube when I should be doing something specific. Don't love the request for 5 stars. I'd given it anyways but the side window (even if I can close it) is kind of annoying.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12975143, 4 years agoSo far one of the best anti-distraction add-ons out there. Wish the source code was available though 🤔

- Rated 4 out of 5by Silver, 4 years agoGreat for people with who spend too much time mindlessly browsing sites like YouTube. Only problem is that there is no auto-pause for video players.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Alex_MM, 5 years agoThe only thing I miss is an Android app or a way to keep track of my progress without having to use my computer. Anyway, I loooove this add-on. It is as good as you think it will be.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16449405, 5 years agoThis is a very good app, I just wish there could be an option to check how certain features, like the newly added productivity mode, work. Sometimes I forget how they work or don't know where to find that information, so I end up not using these amazing features.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Hook, 5 years agoSo far the best anti-distraction add-on I’ve seen on Firefox yet. It does exactly what it says and in a good way.
I would give it 5 stars if it were FOSS/open source. - Rated 4 out of 5by John, not the garfield one, 6 years agoFour stars, because nobody trusts a five star review.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16370911, 6 years agoI have two views on this:
1) It does work well for keeping you from wasting a lot of time on shopping or social media sites.
2) As someone who suffers with anxiety, I nearly always run out of time on social media sites (I usually give myself 15-20 mins a couple of times a day) because I am second guessing or rewriting a post. This isn't anything wrong with the plug-in itself, it's just that someone else with anxiety might run into the same sort of thing. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12687528, 6 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by timendum, 6 years agoNice addon, great for productivity and time-wasting awareness.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15903857, 6 years agoCool extension but needs an option to disable "cooldowns".
Developer response
posted 6 years agoHi there, I just pushed an update (1.3.0) that recommends cooldowns much less frequently. - Rated 4 out of 5by aggro, 6 years ago
