About Cooldown — Pause before you send
We've all sent the message we shouldn't have. The 3am tweet. The passive-aggressive DM. The Reddit clash that costs you a Sunday.
Cooldown adds a configurable countdown between you and Send. Just enough friction to break the impulse loop.
★ SMART BY DEFAULT
Short messages ("ok", "lol") pass through silently. The countdown only triggers when it's actually risky: long posts, ALL CAPS, trigger words you defined, or late at night. You forget the extension exists 90% of the time.
★ AUTO NIGHT MODE
Between 10pm and 5am, the safety net tightens automatically. Because that's when the worst decisions happen.
★ CUSTOM TRIGGER WORDS
"quit", "really", "hate"... Add anything. Messages containing them get an extended cooldown.
★ PAUSE WHEN YOU NEED
15 min, 1h or panic 24h mode for emergencies, live tweeting, or just when you need to post fast.
★ STATS THAT FEEL GOOD
See how many dramas you've avoided. Therapeutic counter, daily graph, milestone notifications.
★ 100% LOCAL
No backend, no tracking, no account. Everything stays on your device.
