Goat Alert: features, pricing and alternatives

About Goat Alert

Goat Alert is a novelty Chrome extension that checks whether you are still at your computer. At intervals you pick from 2, 5, 10 or 15 minutes, a notification appears; dismiss it and you are safe, but if it sits unanswered for 15 seconds a goat shrieks.

Settings include a pool of random intervals, a snooze button that buys five more minutes, rotating humorous messages and day streaks of staying goat-free. A Pro unlock adds custom sound upload, a gentle chime mode, a fixed interval from 1 to 240 minutes, custom messages and detailed stats. The listing says no accounts are needed and no data is collected.
