This is a good extension that achieves its purpose well. It has a couple of issues that would be great to fix: 1. No ability to have a different schedule by day (e.g. on the weekend) 2. When the blocking page is shown, it disables the history/back button so you have to close the tab.

This is exactly what I was looking for! I've noticed stayfocusd becoming increasingly commercialized, so I was looking for a free extension that wouldn't sell my data or show me ads. This extension's beautiful quotes and global time budget were exactly what I was looking for.
