This extension reminds you regularly of your important goals in life or just to pause for some sport or do a short walk to refresh your mind.
It displays a minute timer in the right top corner of your browser. When the count down is down it shows a random goal of your life.
You can configure the length of countdown or disable it temporally.
You can also import or export your goals.
This extension is open source so you can make sure it’s doing nothing evil. Please visit the development website for source code and an issue tracker.
I would love to hear your ideas how to make this extension better.
News (20.June.2013):
Added several options for Text to Speech (Voice Selection, Pitch, Volume and Speed)
News (18.Jan.2012):
New Cycle through Goals Mode which prevents repeated display of the same goal.
Added TTS (Text to Speech). Uses text-to-speech capabilities in Chrome to read your goal by an voice simultaneous with the notification.
I fixed the bug which prevented the addition of goal and caused the negative comments.
Really nice idea and when it works it’s great, but the execution is glitchy. Sometimes it only plays the first one or two reminders and stops working till you restart it. Good as a reminder for general tasks, not great to rely on.
I use this to remind me of my personal affirmations all day long. This is perfect for me because it reads it to me aloud while also flashing it on the screen.
La unica que si sirve
Simple and efficient goal and motto reminder.
This extension could become huge. It’s simply the best way to keep you on track, motivated and focused.
There’s a bug on Chrome that prevents it from resetting when we don’t close manually the reminder notifications. That’s a big issue.
Also, it would be great to be able to add a sound to reminders (such as a gentle bell).
Reminds me to stop and pray, to take a break and walk. Especially helpful in my office.
I love it. It really helps me stay motivated and is great for affirmations during the day.
Will let all of my friends know.
literally the best thing ever???
Has some bugs, but I was thinking it’s time to learn to make extensions because I have a strong need for this.
This is great, has reset issues when you are away, stopped working a bit… but a little work and I agree with Florent Berthet… this could be huge.
Please don’t make this a full blown app with features best served in a todo app like todoist. No long terms goals. I simply need to be reminded to check my posture, move my body and not stand/sit in stillness during long programming sessions!
It does not auto reset.
I don’t dislike, properly talking…. but I can’t make it work. I have CheckerPlus for Gmail installed…. Don’t know if this may be conflictive…
GREAT FOR short term goals !!
Add option to auto reset timer after the notification is closed. Great work.
I was looking for a Chrome alternative to Reminderfox on Firefox. I like the TTS but would appreciate the ability to schedule my reminders or at least specify how many minutes until the reminder pops up again.
I like the concept. It has potential but it lacks a lot of functionality such as the ability to set long term goals and have scheduled reminders.
It should also have a countdown clock including years, months, days, hours and minutes till the goal date.
After the extension used speech I couldnt change any fields in the options anymore. Had to remove it.
After adding the extension again and disabling the speech it worked fine.
I use a chromebook s550
Awesome extension! I would love to see an option where I can add a URL for an image to be shown along with a reminder, or something like that. Just an idea, the extension is already great as it is.
lovely! i use it to remind me that i need to drink..
simple and effective.
+ i dont like the voice…
Thank you so much for the updates! I cannot live without this extension!
There are just 2 missing features:
– Ability to set the volume of the speech reminder separately. Sometimes I get a heart attack if I have the volume on my PC set to maximum, which I sometimes have to because of other programs. 😉
– If people have several TTS voices installed (often different languages), they cannot change the TTS voice!
Doesn’t work when I press the + button
Using Chrome 16
Does not work to add goals
I can’t understand how to manage my goal and time and it is not working good .. its buttons are not working ..
