AIM Extension

AIM helps you to become more productive by letting you block distracting websites and helps you to fight procrastination.

Add website names those make you fail at working, pause when you need a break and stay focused. Enter the time period you want to do some real work and start AIM. On that given period of time, you will not be able to visit those sites in your chrome browser.

However, for any urgency we will allow you to borrow maximum of 10 minutes to access blocked sites and maintain a strict Workflow.

FEATURES:

* You can give custom amount of time varying from 1 minute to 1 day.

* Borrow minutes while visiting blocked sites when AIM is active.

* Protect AIM from stopping and borrowing time with custom password.

* Add any site to AIM. Like if you add www.facebook.com, then your home feed and any kind of facebook operation will be prohibited. However if you add www.facebook.com/someprofile, then only that profile will be blocked

USAGE

* No internet is required to run this extension

* Low CPU usage

* Parental control enabled

PERMISSION

* Read and change data all websites you visit- We need this permission as we block sites you mention. So we need to push some script into websites you visit to do our job. However we do not make any server communication and don't store any kind of personal data

For any assistance, please mail to [email protected]

If you like the extension, please share with your friends and family. Also please rate us 5 star
