2024-02-24 | César Cossio Guerrero | en | It's simply marvelous. I would like to ask you a big favor. I would love the app to block again after the "selectable access time after breathing" has passed. For example: if I select 2 minutes, the after those minutes has passed the app will block the website for exactly the time of breathing time settings and so forth. This is because the app doesn't do it unless i change between tabs and return to the one I want to block. What do you think? Thank you so much. If there is something I can do for help count on me. | |
2024-02-09 | Abhigyan Kaushik | en | Hey, it doesnt seem to work for part of a website. I have set a URL to youtube.com/watch?v=* , but it still plays any video without delay. I would be really glad if you could fix that. Thanks EDIT : It worked. I just needed to remove the '*'. Thanks | |
2024-01-21 | Taylor Johnson | en | Love this -- brilliant and simple! Definitely has me paying attention to when and why I'm choosing these distractions. However, I wish there was the option to assign each URL it's own 'maximum selectable access time'. For example, perhaps I'd have a max access time of 60 minutes for Reddit, but only 10 minutes for Facebook and Instagram. If that setting feature could be updated, the extension would be perfect in my opinion! | |
2024-01-15 | Arun B | en | Excellent extension to get past any frequent addictions that controls the urge by breathing. A bug I noticed is that I have activated typing quote to unlock. In a particular quote of 'What would it be like if I could accept life – accept this moment – exactly as it is?Tara Brach', I couldn't get through because of the '–' symbol. No matter how many times it did not get through. So I had to reload the page, breathe again, type a different quote and unlock | |
