Best of its kind - not too intrusive, preserves the tab content's and title, only shades the view as a perfect break reminder that can be easily skipped if needed.

I wanted to write a small service for Windows that would play a sound every 20 minutes. But then I thought to check the extension store and found the perfect solution! Thanks!
