Review Summary
Users generally love this Chrome extension for its simplicity and effectiveness in helping them limit time on distracting websites, boosting focus, and productivity. It respects privacy by not sending data off-device. However, multiple users mention issues such as inability to block specific subdomains or URL paths selectively, occasional failures in enforcing limits, and missing features like password protection and customizable limit reset times. Despite these flaws, it remains a highly recommended tool, especially for students and those seeking to reduce procrastination online.
Pros
- Simple and easy to use, helping improve focus and productivity.
- Effectively blocks distracting sites immediately once time limits are reached.
- Does not send user data off the computer, respecting privacy.
- Helps users reduce time wasted on distracting sites like social media and news, leading to better mental health and concentration.
- Recommended especially for students and those needing discipline for work or study.
Cons
- Does not differentiate between subdomains or different URLs (e.g., bbc.co.uk vs news.bbc.co.uk, youtube.com vs youtube.com/shorts), making selective blocking difficult.
- Some users experience issues where time limits do not activate or blocking does not occur as expected.
- Lacks features like password/PIN protection to prevent easy disabling of the extension.
- No option to set the time of day when limits reset, which some users desire.
- Reported unreliability in the extension launching or functioning properly, with some buggy behavior noted.
