Ekagra - Your Focus, Your Rules per Priyanshu Tiwari

Ekagra: The Intelligent Video Control Extension That Helps You Stay Focused

The Problem We're Solving:
Have you ever opened a YouTube video to watch "just one quick tutorial," only to find yourself hours later still stuck in an endless loop of autoplaying videos? Or maybe you've switched tabs to work, but the video kept playing in the background, draining your bandwidth and attention? These are exactly the frustrations Ekagra was created to solve.

What Ekagra Does Differently:
Unlike traditional website blockers that completely restrict access, Ekagra takes a smarter approach. It works like a thoughtful assistant.

Key Features That Make It Special:

Smart Auto-Pause Technology
- Works across YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, and most video platforms
- Detects when you're actually watching vs. just having a tab open
- Saves bandwidth and battery by stopping unnecessary playback

Customizable Whitelist
- Keep your music streaming (Spotify, SoundCloud) playing uninterrupted
- Add exceptions for video calls (Zoom, Meet) when needed
- Simple interface to manage your allowed sites

Privacy You Can Trust
- Zero data collection - everything stays on your device
- No ads, no tracking, no surprises
- Open-source core for transparency

Who Benefits Most?
- Students watching lectures without getting sidetracked
- Remote workers avoiding distraction during meetings
- Researchers who need to reference multiple videos
- Anyone who wants to break the autoplay addiction

Getting Started is Simple:
1. Install from the Firefox store (just a few clicks)
2. The extension works automatically - no setup needed
3. Customize your whitelist in settings if desired
4. Use keyboard shortcuts (Alt+Shift+P) for quick control

Our Development Philosophy:
