After your set threshold, you'll receive a friendly nudge to help you refocus. **Features:** - **Cooldown Period**: After any nudge, no new nudges appear until the cooldown period expires (30 min for Basic, customizable for Pro) - **Early Exit Detection**: If you leave LinkedIn within 2 minutes of a nudge, it's counted as an early exit - **Weekly Reset**: Counters automatically reset every Monday at 00:00 local time ## Installation ### From Chrome Web Store (Coming Soon) 1.
