Minha favorita!! Adoro as frases de motivação e as opções de customização dos intervalos.

muito boa mesmo, dá pra definir tempo, sessões de bloqueio, só que infelizmente ela não está bloqueando o twitter, mesmo que coloquei a URL nova

Total disappointment, useless. I set a pause to 15 minutes and it let me use the prohibitet webs indefinitely!!! It let me play lichess.org indefinitely and even youtube after that limit. This is totally useless.
