Muito boa a ideia, quando aparece o aviso é sempre quando estou quase caindo da cadeira. Adorei os lembretes e a forma dos avisos.

Works super well, there was a comment on the multiple screen pop-up which can be useful feature but to overcome that just enable the sound notification and you'll redirect your attention to your main screen. This is one of those few programs that should be embedded software in any desktop environment for better health. Thank you Devs

I never had any problems getting this to work. Helpful and not intrusive. Literally the only flaw is that, when I'm working on multiple monitors, the reminder only pops up on the screen that is the "main" one. If I'm not looking at that screen than I don't notice it at all, so it would be nice to have an option to have it pop up on all the screens. Otherwise a great extension, I consider it as necessary as Dark Reader and uBlock Origin.
