Take a Break

I love this chrome extension! I just hope that there is an option to disable the extension itself for when I don't want to use it.

Best extension of its kind but theres still some improvements i'd hope for: - Implement a simple on/off button to enable/disable the extension. When im in a meeting i dont want to get interupted - Add the possibility to disable certain timers. For example i only want to use the drink reminder so id want to disable the stretch and eye rest reminders - Add a timer to see how much time is left until the next breaks happen - Add the possibility to enable a sound notification as soon as its time ...

(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 on... Show more

Hello Manolo. Thank you for your valuable review. I've incorporated the above suggested changes as I believe it improves the user experience. Talking about point (iii) "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", I believe this action can be performed using the "Space bar" key on the keyboard. I hope this helps.
