User reviews

This is the only anti-distraction extension I've used which actually works in the long run. Excellent idea implemented perfectly. Used it for a year. Only improvement I can think of, is that it would be nice to have the blocked tabs auto-close after couple of minutes.

excellent, really helps improve your productivity.

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. PLEASE ADD SUPPORT FOR REGEX SITE PATTERN MATCHING :)
