Reviews & Comments of Prod — Block Distractions. Reach your Goals chrome extension

As someone who struggles with attention and focus on tasks, Pod is one of the best ways that I've learned to stay focused and be efficient. It gives you that moment to reflect on whether you should really go and waste your time. I love it!

Calendar dates are wrong :( Please update!

super elegant and cute. best to do list extension I have found by far. everything on it is free!

I can't edit the settings of the app as of December 27th 2021.

This is what I have been looking for for the last 5 years. It is perfect and elegant and easy and has all the tools i need to stay productive. I literally love whoever made this. mwah!

Thank you!

Perfect, I instantly fell in love. Super clean design and effective functionality.

Just what needed to avoid distraction and get focused.

This website is good and the interface is very nice, helps stay focused, but the eyes are pretty disturbing. And If I block youtube.com I can't listen to music, there should be a way to unblock a specific url to a blocked website in my opinion. If you don't mind these Prod is the perfect extension for you.

Prod is one of the greatest things you can add to your web browser. No more distractions, just a beautiful, simple interface to remind you of what matters! Thank you Nathaniel for your work on Prod, it is appreciated.

This is an amazing extension! Every window you open up shows you the things you still have to do so that I never forget to even check, it does it for me. Additionally the design is very good looking, although it uses only 1 color, the use of lines makes it feel a lot like an actual notebook, creating a homey feeling. I love this extension and can't see a better implementation of something like it.

Love the new update. Appreciate it and Keep it up. One small thing to fix would be the scroll bar. The bottom arrow is mising and I can't scroll all the way down. Thanks

It's so good, does everything it should do and it's so simple! I only wish that it could have more customisation in the new tab page, because it feels a bit too dark for me and I prefer a lighter shade of near-black. I also use new tabs a lot for being redirected into a website, so it would be great if you could add a setting for the new tab page to be a normal new tab plus prod.

Prod has great potential but I found it falling short of what it promised. The TODO list looked great, but trying to transfer my bullet journal tasks to it, I found that it quite quickly got very slow to the point of unresponsiveness. The task list was only at about 20 tasks with most of them being daily recurring tasks. The other main feature, the block list, didn't seem to work for me. I tried "Facebook", "facebook", "facebook.com" and "*facebook.com*" but no matter what, Facebook would load for me still. These seem like bugs that are not intended, and the UI design and intent seem to be there for a great tool. However, with these issues in place, I find it is not usable by me.

Intuitive, simple, effective, and powerful. The creator has done an unbelievable job on this; I'm excited to see what future improvements they bring.

honestly, its terrific, does exactly what it says, lets you block list some websites from yourself. Would be nice to have a black(night) theme. But seriously fantastic Back after the new update, very clean

This extension is worth gold.

Works really well, nice simple and elegant design.

It those eyes. They really shame you into getting on with your work! Haha. This is a great productivity tool. I'm going to love using this in the future.

Very simple and easy to use to do list! Love it!

simply ideal. It helps you keep tabs on what your goals are, blocks sites temporarily, and has a sleek, peaceful design. Thanks John!

Best task manager ever!!!

One of the best productivity apps online: simple, clean and effective. Lean user interface with special focus on GTD without distractions. It's FREE but with real value.

Loved it

!!! its quite inconvenient that there is a big blank of space above the task list. I understand it is for the pair of eyes to stare into your soul but it would be much better if the space is usually gone, only to appear when blocked sites are detected. The big waste of space is annoying as my task list is long and i can only scroll down by clicking the page down button on my keyboard.

Great for those who are easily distracted

I feel like this extension has helped me more than any other productivity extension. Instead of simply blocking the sites that distract me so that I just pull out my phone instead, it holds me accountable for what I set out to do. I set a goal, I achieve the goal, then get to treat myself with Facebook. It's perfect positive reinforcement.

Great minimalist todo list extension for Chrome - can't praise it enough. Give it a try but keep in mind that it is for simple, quick and focused list making. This is not an alternative to Todoist perhaps, this is at different level. I use it in combination with Todoist - anything within 3 days goes on PROD and anything longer than 3 days goes on Todoist. This way the clutter and short term actions remain on Prod and get cleared straight away. I intend to write to the author and propose a few subtle tweaks and additions if at all possible. I hope he/she will respond and incorporate if possible. Well recommended extension. Keep it up and keep supporting/developing it. It is a great asset to Chrome extensions repository. Well done.

Works very well

great : simple, effective

Holy balls, so simple. So great. Cannot recommend enough.

stunning. beautifully simple with a great concept, expertly executed. best blocking and productivity method i've seen in a deliciously beautiful package. classy and clean.

Helps me stay on track throughout the day, Would like to see dark theme support with the new chrome version 73.

A friend recommended Prod to me, and it's really helped curb my impulse to "reward" myself with time on social media or YouTube when I'm working against a tight deadline.

Very nice extension but still missing a pause option outside the options tab. For ex. I have blocked youtube but sometimes I need to see an informative vid. for just 2 minutes for my work and I hate to go to options everytime.

The perfect blend of simplicity and accountability. The interface is elegant, intuitive, and has really helped increase my productivity, as well as my team's.

It's rare to see a so well designed minimalist design for to-do lists that integrates the web-blocking.

This is great. The most valuable plug in i use

Found this out of the blue. Really simple, only takes a few minutes to learn. Probably one of the most basic, yet useful website blockers I have used. Just start a to-do list, block the websites, and get to work!

I love this! So simple and easy to use. The design is beautiful and it has genuinely helped me to get on with things. Everyone should get prod!!

Definitely the best site-blocking extension I've come across - a beautiful minimalist aesthetic, very flexible and easy to use, and full of clever little details that'll help you keep focused!

Great idea, nicely executed.

Helpful! Keeps me staying on topic. Relaxing atheistic too. It really shows me how natural procrastinating is to me, watching myself open and close reddit every 20 minutes.

I never take the time to review things like this, so well done! Keeps my butt in line so I can finish my priorities without being distracted. Beautiful interface as well.

Only needs a dark mode and ability to pause (have to disable the extension at work) and it's 10/10

This is sick, and at first mildly frustrating as you realize your bad habits. Love Prod so far!

I'm not very in english, it's very useful

I just need a pause button that allows me to turn the blocking off from like...5 PM to 8 AM, and this extension will be perfect.

This is the perfect productivity app: simple yet powerful.

I need this.

Best to-do list I've ever used. I love how it opens on each new tab and is so simple and clear.

Can you add a password to site unblocking?

Has been really great at keeping me focused on my tasks. I would always find myself going to Facebook/Reddit/Twitter aimlessly between tasks. Also makes those sites feel like a reward once I've finished my to do list.

I will be great if you add to-do list to incognito mode too. I turn on Prod in incognito mode, it block the sites, but there is no to-do list.

I needed this app so much. Thank you, it's perfect.

Super simple to use, and keeps me off of junk sites (also helps me track my tasks which is a plus)

Wonderful! I can save lots of my waste time by using this ext. Love it <3

Prod is ad-free & well designed !!!!!

A pause button would be nice. For when you're done working for the day, but don't want to clear out your Todos.

Great app with a great UX and a sleek design. Time to get work done :).

Great, low-frills, functional productivity booster for chrome! I prefer it compared to its competitors because it does the job easily and isn't distracting in it's own!

This has been really helpful so far - I know that i could dsable it, but It has worked really well keeping me from getting stuck on lots of things. I agree, subdomains would be nice. Thank you!!!

Good

Works as it should, everything is made to be very user friendly. The clean and elegant design really makes it amazing! However, it would be nice to also have a "break" or a "pause" mode that allows me to visit the websites I use without clearing up my to-do list.

Really liking the minimal unobtrusive design.

this is great. as simple as it needs to be.

This is a helpful, well-designed extension. However, a "pause" feature would be helpful for taking breaks so that I don't have to lose my to-do list when I stop working for the night.

Elegant, helpful.

Free, and well designed.

- Great Product - Please allow subdomains (e.g. news.google.com) - Allow to pause

Great extension. Would be nice to have the todo list open somewhere other than the new tab but overall I am liking it so far.

Need to be able to block certain subdomains. I read news.google.com mindlessly but I can't seem to block news.google.com explicilty and must instead block the entire google domain, which prevents me from searching with google.com. Otherwise great, nice and simple.

Great extention. Can you toggle the todo list on the new tab off, but you can see it when you access blocked sites? How hard would that be to impletement?

Clean, easy to start using right away. What else can you want

Needed this! Works great

A nice minimal extension - I like seeing my todo list when I open a new tab. Cuts down on time wasting almost as much as the site blocking.

Love the clean design and effective method. Thank you for creating this extension!

Looks amazing. Such a clean, minimal interface. Love it

It's handy for sure, although the fact that I can't change the incredibly loud and incredibly annoying ping sound when I finish a task, is well extremely irritating.

It's great!! It really helps me to get on with my work.

really great! I think the guy who created this is a genius!

Needed this!

Really makes me want to be productive!! Highly recommend for people who just want to get stuff done.

So handy.
