excellent. lots of thought has been put into this, and no "fluff" features have been added that do not serve a purpose. I really like how you have to hold down on the button, so you can not go to another application/tab while it counting down.

Still the best focus extension which exists , the others allow you to shift tabs but this forces you to hold it so i usually do not have that amount of patience and end up closing up the tab Saves a lot of time , i have set up the timer to 30s for max benefit which works really amazing for me Thanks u so much

Perfect Simple Extension. I just wish there was possibility to make groups for settings and time periods that activate a group, like If I am working (time period 8-16) activate group 1, before sleep activate groups 3
