About A Gentle Reminder
A Gentle Reminder helps you browse with purpose.
Before every session, you write why you're opening the browser. That single habit β stating your intention β cuts mindless browsing dramatically. The extension then runs a quiet focus timer in the background and nudges you if you drift to distracting sites like YouTube, Reddit, or Instagram.
