User reviews

Very simple to use and a good way to boost productivity. I tend to hate read a lot (mostly sites that espouse a politics opposed to my own) and get lost in reading and thinking about what they right. This impacts negatively both my attention to my family and to my work. Limit simply provides an easy way to enforce some discipline. Sorry websites that got revenue from my frequenting you. No more now.

Very nice and simple

very unreliable--it only launches on its own less than half the time. there are no longer dashboard controls for time limits on sites but it still cuts you off from youtube even though you never set a limit. the icons that used to take you to the site keep offering to install again even tho it's already installed. i'm guessing they fired all the coders??
