Website Time Blocking Autor: swervyk

Do you find yourself opening Reddit, Instagram, or YouTube "just for a second," only to lose an hour of your day?

Intent is the browsing guardrail that stops the loop of unconscious clicking. Unlike standard blockers that just lock you out, Intent forces you to be mindful before you enter a distraction zone.

When you attempt to visit a target website, Intent intercepts you with a beautiful, unskippable prompt. You cannot enter the site until you tell the extension exactly how you plan to use it.

✨ Key Features:
🛑 The Mandatory Check-In You can't just scroll past this. The overlay prompt requires you to select a browsing mode before the site loads. This micro-friction breaks the dopamine loop and puts you back in control.

⏱️ Three Powerful Modes:

⏳ Duration Mode (Time Limits):

Set a specific timer (in minutes) for your session.

Once the time is up, the site is blocked and you are redirected away.

The Cooldown: After a session ends, a mandatory cooldown period activates. You cannot start a new timer until the cooldown expires.

📺 Count Mode (Exclusive to YouTube):

Stop falling down the rabbit hole. Decide exactly how many videos you want to watch.

The extension tracks every new video you open.

Once you hit your limit, the session ends and the cooldown begins.

♾️ Unlimited Mode (Daily Ration):

Need to browse freely? Use one of your daily "Unlimited" passes.

These are limited in quantity per day—use them wisely!

🎨 Beautiful & Modern Design

Dark Mode Native: Designed for comfortable viewing at any time of day.

Sleek UI: Simplistic, rounded aesthetics with a vibrant purple accent.

⚙️ Fully Customizable Settings

Manage Your Blocklist: Comes pre-configured for heavy hitters like Instagram, Reddit, and YouTube, but you can add any website URL to your target list.

Tweak Your Limits: Customize how long your cooldowns last and how many "Unlimited" passes you get per day.
