Intention - Stop Mindless Browsing Extension

🎯 Browse with intention
When you visit a distracting site, Intention will ask you to commit to a time limit in order to unlock the site.

⏰ Stay focused
If you unlock the site, Intention helps you focus by showing how much time you have left.

🙌🏽 Get your attention back
When your time runs out, Intention automatically ends your session and helps you reflect on how you'd like to be spending your time.

No more unconsciously checking endless feeds the moment you're bored.
No more thinking \"just 5 minutes\" and wasting hours.
No more mindless browsing.

Fernanda G (ID: 000000c852c51123) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/14/2024 I love how customizable and flexible this extention can be, specially because you can make it be activated some days a week and others not, one of the things that you can't find in other extensions like this one. Very nice

icon

Yitong Sun (ID: 000000eef6861748) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/11/2024 Really good. Suggestions for more features: option to remove the "x" when doing a productive session, option to have an allowlist instead of a blocklist, pomodoro - break after focus mode where you can access blocked sites
