The extension offers customizable break reminders, multiple alert options including desktop notifications, sound alerts, and blinking icons, and can run from the system tray even when your browser is closed.

User reviews

Users appreciate the extension's usefulness in protecting their vision and encouraging regular breaks, citing its effectiveness and ease of use. However, multiple reviews mention cons like the inability to customize timers sufficiently, especially for short breaks, and the brightness of the pop-up exercise page hurting the eyes. Notification volume control is also lacking, and some users noted issues with the timer resetting immediately without a resting period. The extension appears to be inactive or not updated recently.
