About Click to Browse
Click to Browse — block everything until you click your key link
Most website blockers ask you to maintain a blocklist. This one flips it: everything is blocked by default. To unlock browsing, you click one specific link you set in advance — a todo list, a calendar, a journal, anything that forces a moment of intent before the internet opens up.
The point isn't restriction, it's friction. That tiny pause between "open browser" and "browse" is usually where autopilot wins. Click to Browse turns that moment into a deliberate choice.
How it works
Set your key link (e.g. your Notion dashboard, your Google Doc, your task list)
Open your browser — every site shows a lock screen
Click your key link to unlock the session
Browse freely until you close the browser or lock manually
Features
One-click setup: paste your key link, save, done
Optional focus timer: clicking the key link starts a countdown you set, browsing unlocks when it ends
Custom background image on the lock screen — your own photo, a quote, a goal
Lock and unlock from the popup any time
Settings panel tucked behind a cog icon, clean default UI
Works on every site, every tab, every new window
All data stays local on your device
Who it's for
People who keep "just checking one thing" their way into an hour of scrolling
Anyone who wants their first action of the day to be intentional, not reactive
Folks who tried blocklists and got tired of maintaining them
Students, remote workers, writers, anyone with deep work to do
What it's not
This isn't a Pomodoro app, a screen-time tracker, or an enterprise control tool. It does one thing: makes you click a link before the internet works. That's it.
Free, no ads, no accounts, no data collection.
