About Elseware

Elseware Turn distractions into momentum. Elseware helps you take control of your browsing by automatically redirecting websites to destinations you choose. Instead of blocking websites completely, Elseware guides you somewhere more useful, making it easier to build better browsing habits without interrupting your workflow. Whether you're trying to stay focused, reduce distractions, or create smarter browsing routines, Elseware helps you spend more time where it matters. 🎯 How it works Create simple redirect rules like: • google.com → youtube.com • reddit.com → docs.google.com • news.ycombinator.com → your-project-board.com When you visit a website that matches one of your rules, Elseware automatically redirects you to your chosen destination. The process is fast, seamless, and happens in the background. Why redirect instead of block? Traditional website blockers stop you from accessing a site, often replacing it with a warning page. Elseware takes a different approach. Rather than saying "No," Elseware says, "Go here instead." By redirecting you to a more intentional destination, it helps you replace unproductive habits with better ones, without feeling restrictive. ✨ Features ✅ Unlimited redirect rules - Create as many redirects as you need. 🌐 Redirect any website - Send one website to another URL of your choice. ⚡ Easy rule management - Add, edit, enable, disable, or delete rules in seconds. 🪶 Lightweight and simple - No complicated setup or unnecessary features. 🔄 Automatic redirects - Rules work instantly while you browse. 🔒 Privacy first - All rules are stored locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or synced to external servers. Whether you're redirecting social media to your notes, search engines to documentation, or distracting websites to your task manager, Elseware helps you create a browsing experience that supports your goals, not your distractions.
