Shady. This extension does not work. I almost forgot I even had this extension. When I looked for the web permissions, it has allowed payment handlers and third party sign in on. I don't know how it even ended up with the tag of "featured" - they are obviously upto something wrong. Please don't install it.

Honestly wonderful for a student in long distance. I don't suffer from eye strain but occasional reminders to get my eyes off the screen really help clear the mind. May I suggest adding a way to see how much time is left until the next reminder? It would come in handy for fellow scatterbrains like me, I tend to miss a lot of very obvious things like reminders.
