AuraLock — Website Blocker & Focus

AuraLock is a calm, intentional browsing extension. Instead of punishing blocked sites, AuraLock helps you decide what deserves your attention, then protects that choice with a soft boundary until your focus session ends. HOW IT WORKS 1. CREATE AN AURA Use the guided 6-step wizard to build your focus session: • Purpose — Deep Work, Study, Reading, Creative, or Custom • Websites — Block distracting URLs by selecting pre-configured category filters—such as social platforms, streaming media, and shopping sites—or enter your own custom web addresses. • Duration — 10 to 60 minutes with quick presets • Boundary — Standard (flexible: pause, extend, emergency exit) or Strict (fully committed, no way out) • Schedule — Repeat on chosen days at a set time with optional Autopilot • Review — Summary card with option to save as a Quick Focus preset 2. ENTER YOUR AURA Once started, blocked sites redirect to a calm "Waiting Outside" page showing your remaining time. Everything else works normally. 3. STAY FOCUSED • Live countdown timer with SVG progress ring • Pause and resume (Standard mode) • Extend by 10 minutes when you're in flow • Emergency checkpoint with math challenge (Standard mode) KEY FEATURES • Quick Focus Presets — Save Auras for one-tap start from the popup • Active Aura Page — Full-screen timer with blocked sites list and controls • Focus History & Streaks — Track completed sessions, daily stats, and streaks • Scheduled Rituals — Set recurring Auras with optional Autopilot • Light / Dark / System Theme — Fully tuned dark mode • Break Reminders — Optional break timer after completing a session • Weekly Recap — Sunday evening notification with your weekly summary • Sound Notifications — Subtle audio cues for session events • Emergency Checkpoint — Math challenge to exit a Standard Aura early • Strict Boundary — No pause, no extend, no emergency exit — fully committed • Local Storage Only — No servers, no tracking, no accounts.
