You're a chronic procrastinator? You want to do so many things but each time your discipline fails you and you find yourself wasting hours on sites like youtube? Are you looking for an alternative to applications that simply block distraction sites? If so, then Time Companion is for you!

Time Companion offers 4 severity modes adapted to your needs:

Level 1: Displays a small notification after a time you choose. [also possible to notify at the beginning of the access to a distraction website].

Level 2: Asking you confirm to continue using the entertainment website. It asks you to write a sentence [at the beginning of access to a distraction website and/or every x minutes] and asks for the number of minutes you need. [also possible to enter a productivity sentence to continue]

Level 3: Blocks the page spent a certain amount of time on it, possibility of cyclic blocking (e.g. pomodoro).

Level 4: Radical level: Closes chrome if you insist on accessing entertainment websites after a certain amount of time.

The app seems to be a good one, with the functions I need. However, I would like the app to save the time spent on each website for more than one day, to see the difference over time. Anyway, thank you for the extension.

Does exactly what it's made for, only when the extension is active you find out how often you are distracted and then this app is worth more than 5 stars.

To me the extension was a great blessing. It helped me improve my productivity by concentrating on my tasks. I love the fact that we can combine many groups / levels. I used to browse on the internet until late at night, and my sleep schedule had been messed up. I'm very happy that this stopped now. For everyone, this is a must have extension.
