I LOVE this app. Otto is so cute and I can't let him get hurt. I have ADHD and gamification works amazingly when I am trying to focus. There is one suggestion I would like to implement. I would like for there to be a mode where there is a white list or an allowed list so when I turn on this mode it only allows those websites and all other websites are blocked. I get distracted very easily and I start reading an online version of my LED lights instruction manual 😅. I just can't block all the websites that I get distracted with because I get carried away easily. But other than that, it's an amazing extension. Thank you so much for making a free extension for people that have an incredibly hard time studying!
