About Blinkers
Blinkers is a focus blocker for people who want to concentrate — without handing over their browsing history to do it.
Start a timer, and the sites that pull you away stay shut until it ends. That's it. No account, no sign-up, no dashboard watching what you do.
WHY BLINKERS IS DIFFERENT
Most blockers ask for permission to see every page you visit. Blinkers is built so it can't. It requests no access to your browsing history, runs no analytics, and makes zero network calls in normal use. Your blocklist, timer, and streaks live only in your browser.
WHAT YOU GET — all free
• Timed focus sessions — a quick sprint or a deep-work block
• Your blocklist, subdomains and all — no sneaking in the side door
• Hard mode — can't be switched off mid-session, for when willpower needs backup
• Local streaks and stats — stored on your device, seen by no one
• A calm day/night scene that follows your local clock while you work
• Light and dark themes, and a friendly mole to keep you company
• Encrypted settings backup — export/import so a browser reset can't wipe your setup
PRIVACY, PROVABLE
• No browsing-history access — the extension can't read the pages you visit
• No tracking, no analytics, no third-party scripts
• No account, no server, no data collection
• Minimal permissions, each explained plainly
Blinkers blocks sites using Chrome's own on-device rules engine. To stop sites that keep an offline copy of themselves (like YouTube) from slipping past a block, it clears the offline cache of the sites on your blocklist during a session — nothing else. Your logins, history, and any site you haven't blocked are never touched.
