About Block Site: Hold to Unlock
Are you tired of mindlessly opening social media or video platforms when you should be doing deep work?
Hold to Unlock is not just another rigid website blocker—it is a tool designed for brain rewiring and intentional habit-setting. We often open distracting websites unconsciously, driven by pure muscle memory. This extension breaks that automatic loop by introducing one simple but powerful concept: intentional friction.
Whenever you navigate to a distracting site on your custom blocklist, you are intercepted by a minimalist lock screen. To gain access, you must physically click and hold an unlock button for a set amount of time.
It forces you to pause, take a breath, and ask yourself: "Do I really want to spend my time here right now?"
Key Features:
• Intentional Friction: A required "Hold to Unlock" action that interrupts unconscious browsing.
• Brain Rewiring: Shift from automatic, impulsive clicking to conscious decision-making.
• Minimalist, Dark-Mode UI: A clean, distraction-free interface that doesn't strain your eyes.
• Custom Blocklist: Add any domain that disrupts your productivity.
Stop fighting your willpower and start rewiring your digital habits. Protect your focus, train your discipline, and earn your browsing.
