A very useful extension to have. I do, however, have the following requests, which I feel would enhance user experience: (i) Option to change the duration of the breaks, be it the 20-second Look Away break, the 3-minute Stretch/Stroll break , or the 1-minute Drink Water break. (ii) Audio notifications to indicate when breaks have ended. This becomes extremely useful particularly when one's away from the computer. Additionally, providing the choice of audio or the ability to use one's own audio file would be an added bonus. (iii) When watching a YouTube video, or online movie, the Take a Break nofitication screen has only a "Dismiss" button. I hope the developer can include "Pause" and "Resume" buttons in the notification screen, to provide users the ability to pause any video/movie that's playing before taking the break?
