Review Summary
Intention is widely appreciated for its simple yet effective approach to curb mindless browsing and improve productivity. Users value its ability to track time on distracting sites and motivate focus through streaks. However, some users are disappointed by the lack of strict site blocking and face compatibility problems with newer Chrome versions. Requests for features like passphrase protection and enhanced visuals indicate room for improvement. Overall, it remains a favorite among those seeking to manage screen time thoughtfully.
