Extension Metadata

About this extension
Stop doomscrolling and regain your focus.

Focus Shield is a strict website blocker designed to add friction to your browsing habits. Instead of permanently blocking a site, it requires you to perform a cognitive task—typing a long, random string of characters exactly—to unlock access for 5 minutes.

Features:
* 🛡️ Friction-Based Unlocking: You must type a generated UUID to access a blocked site.
* ⏱️ Timed Access: Unlocking only grants 5 minutes of access before the shield goes back up.
* 🔒 Privacy First: All data is stored locally on your device. No analytics, no tracking, no cloud servers.
* 🌙 Dark Mode UI: A clean, minimal interface that protects your eyes.

Perfect for blocking social media, news feeds, or any site that breaks your flow.
