About this extension
ScrollWatch is a minimalist, powerful browser extension designed for the modern web. It helps you combat digital fatigue and mindless scrolling by putting you back in control of your
time.

Unlike broad "site blockers," ScrollWatch uses a "scrolling-time" tracking mechanism to monitor when you are actively consuming content, ensuring your limits are meaningful and accurate.

Key Features:
* 🎯 Custom Watchlist: Add any domain that distracts you—from social media giants to news aggregators.
* ⏱️ Granular Time Limits: Set precise "Allowed Durations" down to the second. Want exactly 12 minutes of Reddit? You’ve got it.
* 🔄 Flexible Reset Intervals: Define exactly when your "time quota" refreshes (e.g., every 24 hours or every 4 hours), allowing you to build better habits throughout the day.
* 🛡️ Graceful Locking: Once your limit is reached, ScrollWatch injects a beautiful, non-intrusive full-screen overlay that prevents further scrolling without crashing your browser or losing your place.
* 📊 Live Dashboard: Monitor your consumed time and active rules through a clean, modern interface built with React and Tailwind CSS.

How it Works:
ScrollWatch detects active engagement. When you are on a watched site, it tracks your scrolling activity. Once your consumed time hits the limit, the page is locked until your reset interval passes. No complex setups—just pure, effective discipline.

Privacy Focused:
ScrollWatch runs entirely locally on your machine. Your browsing data and "watched" domains never leave your browser. It's also free and open source, with the code being hosted on GitHub - https://github.com/DarshGupta16/scrollwatch

Why ScrollWatch?
Most of us don't want to block the internet entirely- we just want to stop the "infinite scroll." ScrollWatch is built for "Builders" and deep-workers who need a digital guardian to nudge
them back to what matters most.
