User reviews

Users appreciate the extension's simplicity, ease of use, and reliable alarm functionality that works even with the browser closed. However, many report that alarms sometimes disappear or fail to save, and the inability to set recurring daily alarms is a frequent complaint. The countdown timer often malfunctions or is inaccurate, and there is a desire for additional features like snooze, alarm mute, or longer alarm durations. Some users also note a lack of instructions, making it difficult to use fully.

An option for persistence would improve this, having to setup alarms every day is annoying if you are using for a routine.
