en I really love it and it's a shame that such a great extension might be removed. I can recommend 'Strict Focus' as a good alternative, it's more that 100% the same as Strict Workflow.

de Jeder ADHS Student braucht das. 10/10 simple & effektiv. Pomodoro hätte ihn aufkaufen und nicht mit cease and desist drohen sollen.

en I installed it on my chrome in mac, but when it ends one step, it when it continues to the next step, I must click it(tomato) one time, to let the time goes.

It works fine! And I'll get a notification when the time's up. Great! It does what I want; blocks sites and makes it annoying to get around shutting it off. Good, that'll make me go back to work as it's not worth the hassle trying to find a way to turn it off. The people complaining are looking for reasons to rag on this extension this makes me wonder why they're trying so hard to turn it off instead of actually working. That seems like another distraction to overcome. Developers probably have to abide by some rules were it has to be possible to uninstall an extension so, quit your complaining and get back to work slackers! I would like if it was on the right click mouse menu and the only options were: Add site to block list/remove site from block list And we can only remove one site per day though the right click menu so as to not abuse it. (Sometimes a person can miss click so it's important to have that the option to undo a mistake.)

There is no "turn off" option, I'll give it that. However, there are multiple ways to disable it quickly, the easiest of which is to simply open the console (Ctrl + Shift + i) and delete the blocking HTML. I can't say this will help me very much, seeing as I found a way around it in less than sixty seconds, but at least it works as advertised, albeit disappointing.
