2022-10-05	Reborn		it can't change time and much bugs
2021-10-01	io		I used to love this add-on, of which I'd used an old version on Waterfox until switching back to Firefox recently, and let me tell you: This add-on doesn't seem to do anything anymore. Since having it installed, Ive been just plain locked out of my blacklisted sites altogether. I haven't used my 2 hours of allotted time because I'm never permitted to visit the site in the first place; The timer never starts counting down thus I can't even confirm if the Time Remaining alerts work or not. This is just really a bummer, and I'd love if this add-on could be made to work again.
2020-04-12	Firefox user 12933498		The promise of this add-on was so tempting. I surveyed other "procrastination" add-ons, and found Monastery's feature set to be the most attractive. Then I installed it and tried using it. It just plain doesn't seem to work. The timer doesn't reset each day. The warnings don't pop up. When I first installed it, the 30 second "throttling" feature worked, but then it stopped working, counting down to 0, and just ending up stuck.
2019-08-19	Firefox user 15218293		This extension does not have anywhere close to the full functionality of StayFocused. You cannot specify blackout hours, which is what you can do with StayFocused. Rather than setting time limits for sites, you block out entire hours where your blacklisted sites (or ALL sites, using the Nuclear Option) will not work. The only thing you can do with this extension is set time limits for sites. Disappointing.

2019-05-07	Firefox user 14949407		This is my second day. First, I didn't recognize the time "warning" because it was labeled Monastery which I didn't recognize as the name of the app I had installed. So I got locked out abruptly. I went into the settings to edit the amount of time I'm allowed. Now, on day 2 I'm still locked out - pretty sure more than 24 hours went by. But then why should it be a 24 hour thing anyway? I would like the clock to start at 12:00 am for each 24-hour day so I'm not locked out in the morning if I made a change yesterday afternoon. As it is I have no idea when I can get on the site again .... I'm just waiting ... or maybe I'll just uninstall it. I'm sure others have when this happens. And as others have mentioned it would be nice to dial in a time limit for each blacklisted URL. UPDATE: Day 3 - still locked out. I don't understand what's happening. I'll wait until tomorrow to decide whether to uninstall.
2019-01-02	Firefox user 14536548		I wish I could try to use this. But by default it is set to only one minute, and when I try to change the settings to 15 minutes (what I ideally want), it tells me I can't change the settings for 24 hours. This has happened twice now and I haven't been able to actually get in to save it before it blocks me from changing. A 1 minute default is pretty ridiculous, please change it to something more reasonable so we can actually set it up and use the app. EDIT: Tried it the next day and I was able to save my 15 minute limit. I then switched to my limited site and it blocked me after 1 minute. USELESS IF YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY ADJUST THE SETTINGS.
