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.

Thank you so much for making this! I second the notion that it would be great if session start notifications had the same time interval options as the end. :)

This app worked really well in the beginning. About a month after I added it to Chrome, it suddenly stopped making the reminder sound, which caused me to miss several Focusmate sessions. I'm not happy with this app at all.
