Ratings and Reviews
Amazing app.
This has really helped me to focus on the work that has needed to be done. due to my short attention span previouly i used be distracted often by outside apps and webstites. with this app now it allows me to channel my focus by using short blocking burts which remove all potential for distraction. The free version of the app also provides plenty of features and works as intented therefore meaning that you do not need to upgrade. Life changer 10/10
Thank you so much
I've been procrastinating for so many years and could't find the right app/extension to fight it off. The previous apps/extensions I've used had the option to cancel the distracting apps and knowing me, I could not fight off the temptation at all. Luckily I've found this amazing app that doesn't allow you to cancel the blockage until the scheduled time is over and it helped me so much in completing my assignments. Whoever made this, thank you so so much.

Thank you for your review!
Excellent - Plus Some Feedback
The app is fantastic, the best I've found for this sort of thing and I'm happily paying for the premium version (which is reasonably priced, thank you).
To make it even better, an on/off button for each block or schedule would be helpful. At the moment, to temporarily turn a block off, I have to delete the schedule which is a little annoying, especially if I have quite a comlex schedule with lots of entries - e.g. if I went on vacation, I'd have to completely redo the entire schedule afterwards.
I would also enjoy a location based option - my phone app for blocking does this and it's really helpful - e.g. the block only works when at work
Other than that, I love it!
