Reviews & Comments of Break Timer chrome extension

Thank you for the extension, Works mostly, but if you click the Skip Popup on the lower right of the screen, it does not skip and the break screen shows.

Funciona genial. Gran aplicación.

It was great until it blocked ever going to Chrome Web Store again. It took me a few minutes to figure out why every time I would attempt to go to Chrome Web Store, I was being redirected to a specific website. The only thing I had done was install this extension. I disabled this extension and I was able to back to the Web Store again.

GREAT app. It is extremely useful. I would change one thing. The ability to add sites you want to block off during working hours! I would have all my employees using this extension if we had that option!

perfect

I LOVE the fullscreen popup notificaiton!

Great App! However, can you please add an option for us to customize how many seconds our breaks are? Ideally, I'd have 30 second breaks every 30 minutes, so that I wouldn't have to manually close the window myself. A minute is a bit too long for me. Anyway, this app is a great addition to anyone's self-care routine, especially for those who are on the computer all day long. Thanks! :)

Literally saved my life

This is the best pomodoro enabling extension I have found so far although I am using the deprecated Chrome extension on a Chromebox. I don't use Windows, MacOS or Linux so the app wouldn't help me. I like the auto start particularly. I gave you a very small donation in token of that... Two suggestions: 1. Enforce the breaks. Other apps flip or lock the display until the end of the break. 2. Keep the break running until a user action is detected. Five stars if you can do those two things in the extension!

Good.

Works perfect

I used to love this app and use it for work every day. Maybe it's the recent Chrome updates, but the app has stopped working this past month. I get the popup that the break will happen soon...and the break never comes. It just starts the countdown again. Also, disabling the break doesn't work if I have more than one Chrome window open. I suggest you try another break app until this one is updated and debugged.

Perfect, simple "take a break" tool that works either as a browser extension or installed app In my opinion it's excellent, does its job

Exactly what I need! Thanks Devs!

This helps me alot as I can get stressed quite alot while trying to learn programming languages online. Thanks for this, I needed this alot!

This is an amazing extension, except I can't set the timer to times between midnight and 1AM.

Disable feature is not consistent .Break still starts even if you disable it

Thanks for your great extension!

This app is simple and awesome! Good to have with Chrome browser.

This app is simply awesome, after an year shifted to other app just bcoz Long Break feature after 4 breaks. i request someone to please confirm existence this feature in this app.

Im a melon and I need no breaks, but I say that it is pretty good.

Awesome extension. Especially love that it auto starts! The only change I would request is a button to restart the "Break frequency" countdown, along side the "Disable breaks" button. Yes, I know its there in the Settings menu, but thats one additional click. Or even better, you could support keyboard shortcuts for the "restart break frequency" action (and other actions) via chrome://extensions/shortcuts Great job again!

I quite enjoy using this break timer (when I remember to actually take the break instead of skipping through it). Definitely worth trying out!

I think option to set break for shorter time would be nice. Anyway almost perfect. And browser is where it should be.

Absolutely perfect app. I have been searching for an app that would prompt me to stand up for a while now and none of them work as well as this one. The developer of this app is having a really improving lives!

A lot of nice customization options, including extensive colour choices and it does the job on prompting me to get up better than anything else I have seen on Windows 10/Chrome browser. On the other hand, getting Action Centre notifications that I have to clear up (almost) all the time is an annoyance and it appears I have to disable all Google Chrome browser notifications going to the Action Centre to get this to stop - which is not workable for me as I have other extensions. And, especially, the product doesn't seem to properly react to the specified inactivity period option I set or the PC going into sleep mode even, and since clicking 'skip' on the notification of impending break does not stop the break coming either, I'm getting a lot of breaks I shouldn't get / have to turn around and click on to stop. Further, it sometimes doesn't put out the usual warning of an impending break and also doesn't support multi-monitor setups (which can, ha ha, make it tempting to just continue during the break on the second monitor!). I like to support such efforts as these with $$$'s, but this needs a little more work before I do so.

This app is wonderful- please make ADHD friendly variants of sound/colour, it stops working for us after a while

Does the job great. Big notice comes up to take a break! Just don't let yoursrlf close it without taking a break! Look aftet your eyes folks : )

Ehh, didnt work out. I mean its good, but takes a while to load the screen also. I didnt need it, im really every on the laptop. Dont need it, but it is VERY good, and tells the truth, some extensions lie, and are fake.

Pretty straightforward with lots of customization options. Tried several others, this one suited my needs best. Recommend it.

I wear reading glasses. This will be so helful to m.

Simple to use, pleasant reminders. Reduces eyestrain.

Excellent, its exactly what I was looking for. One suggestion: Make the extension run in the background (even when chrome is closed). Add more options to postpone for multiple time durations. Anyways it has a good beep sound, I like it.

Nice little app. I like it. Keeping track of when I should get up and move around. Yeah, well, cute little app developers should just QUIT ASSUMING THAT I'M AWAKE DURING THE DAY OK THANKS!!!! If you can't tell I'm being driven crazy by the amount of great looking apps that don't allow for the fact that I get up at 9pm and go to bed at 1pm. Please take this into account so that I can enable and set working hours!!!! "Breaks from MUST BE EARLIER than breaks to" does not account for us vampires who need it to go the other way around! Thank you.

Simple and Best .. :)

love it!

Works great overall, but doesn't account for laptop sleep time and doesn't work with more than 1 screen.

Best popup breaker you can dream about. Super simple and concise UI, and absolutely all options you need!

Great Extension. Very useful. I use this to remind me to get up from my desk every 30 minutes. Because it's not good for you to sit down for long periods of time. Bad for your blood pressure. I've found that I have more energy throughout the day because I'm allowing new oxygen to flow in my blood stream. You sit down for hours, you start to feel sluggish and tired because of lack of oxygen. Food for thought.

Really appreciate this extension, thank you!

Good for workday mindfulness.

Pros: Great for a visual for students so they know how much longer they can work before their next break. This can be used to help students keep track of their reading time as well as how long they have to complete a specific task. Cons: could use more variety for a younger crowd

I keep disabling the breaks, but it keeps re-enabling them without my knowledge or consent. If it weren't for that problem (i.e. major annoyance), I would have given this extension four stars.

Simple yet very effective. I like the full-screen break notice with the countdown to break end. It lessens temptation to ignore the break and keep reading. And the option to skip the upcoming break, or postpone it are great, as is the ability to end the break early.

Nice and simple idea. Would be good if implementation was worked on. Customised break/work patterns do not seem to function properly, pop-ups appear-or don't-seemingly randomly.

Perfect for my needs. Not too intrusive, but really helps me remember to take breaks. Doesn't enforce the length of my break too strictly, so I can get back to work when I'm ready.

It kept saying that I was out of working hours.

Thank you for creating this simple app. it reminds me to stop and take a break, and it interferes just the right amount (I can skip a break if I want). I see a recent review that says you can't choose to stop and cycle, but I was able to set it up to 20 min = 1 min break just fine.

really love the simplicity and the design, but -- and it's a big but for me -- you can't choose when to start and stop the time cycles yourself; you can only set 'working hours.' If there were a function that made the timing cycle something you could initiate yourself and stop yourself, it would have five stars for me.

#Bug: Disabling breaks while break/postpone popup is shown, re-enable breaks automatically

Please add option to edit text in full screen and change background color.

Best break timer on the market for Chrome. Like the recent feature of a full screen popup

Simple, but very helpful. Would love a few colour themes on rotation to stop the notification becoming too routine, but a minor complaint :).

Stopped working

love how i have less headaches now. It would be nice if you could set it up with your lunch time also. i really like everything else on the set up and how it works, and it would not hurt if you could change the color of the screen but that's not a big deal.

When the timer ends, there is no notification.

It's okay so far but it's not good for night shift workers or freelancers as you can't end your work day in the AM and have it start in the AM too. Also, there's only one type of break. I need a eye break and lunch break so this extension isn't really going to work for me. But it does work.

wow!!

Nice when it works, but for some reason every now and then it'll reach the end of timer, and do... nothing? No notification when the break is coming up, and no full-screen when the break is reached.

i like its UI. Going to use it :)

Works well but wasn't really what I was looking for.

simple and clean so far.

Idle reset does not work (came back from a shower, sat down, 30 seconds later it's asking me to take a break). Like other have said I'd also like more support for RSI style stuff like microbreaks.

Works like a charm.. never breaksdown..

Well designed and works great! Just what I needed to force myself to take breaks and stand up every so often when working long hours at the computer. My only complaint is that it took me out of a full-screen app, when I happened to have Chrome still running in the taskbar—not sure if anything can be done about that from the app side.

It's really nice, I would love to have microbreaks and statistics about rest breaks.

Useful and reliable, with great interface. For those who want to save their health while working in front of a monitor this extension is a must. But not just get notified of a break - DO THE BREAK! :)
