I love the goat. This extension is awesome and I hope the developer will continue to support it. Chrome currently says that it's not following best practices and I hope it doesn't disappear! Thank you for the work you have put into it! :)

I love the moo! Delights me (and often my partners, when I arrive earlier than the alarm) hahaha :D

Thanks for creating and making the app. I use it when I use focusmate. They recommended it to me when I had an issue; and they have been slowly adding some of the app's features to their platform. It would be great to have the before and after settings match such as options: 10, 20, 30 seconds and 1,2, 5 minutes. It would be good to also change some of the alarms to common standard such as a bell. The chime alert has recently slightly lower in volume than my audio settings. The only one that is consistant is the chirp -which is not an ideal alert. I'm using Chrome on Windows 11.
