User reviews

The extension is too invasive. The idea is good, however it keeps showing todo list even when it's not in focused time. If I want todo list not to show up, I need to disable the extension. Should have an option to show todo list in new tabs only in focused time, otherwise it looks very promising, but I will uninstall it for now.
