About Intent

Stop Doom Scrolling. Start Living Intentionally. Do you find yourself unconsciously opening social media tabs, only to lose hours of your day? Intent is not just another website blocker—it's a tool designed to help you build healthier digital habits through intentional friction and gamification. Instead of permanently banning sites (which often leads to frustration and uninstalls), Intent introduces a "breathing room" moment. When you try to visit a blocked site, you are paused. To proceed, you must state your reason, make a conscious choice, and set a specific duration for your visit. KEY FEATURES: 🛑 INTENTIONAL BLOCKING & WHITELIST MODE Block distracting websites (like YouTube, Twitter/X, Instagram, Reddit) effectively. When you try to visit them, Intent intervenes right on the page—no redirects. Need a stricter approach? Enable the new Whitelist Mode to block everything by default and only allow the specific productive sites you choose. 🔓 TIME-BOUND ACCESS & DAILY BUDGETS Need to check a message? Unlock a site for 5, 10, or 30 minutes. When time is up, the site is blocked again. You can now set Daily Budgets for specific sites to cap your total allowed time per day (e.g., max 30 mins total on YouTube). The countdown timer even pauses when the tab is in the background so you get your full time. 🎯 INTENT TRACKING & MID-SESSION CHECK-INS Every time you unlock a site, choose a reason: Work, Learning, Research, Creation, or your own custom intent. Halfway through your session, Intent will show a gentle check-in prompt to make sure you're still on task and haven't fallen down a rabbit hole. Over time, see your top reasons for unblocking and understand your browsing triggers. ⚡ QUICK ACTIONS Right-click on any webpage to quickly block or unblock the site directly from your browser's context menu—no need to open the dashboard! ☢️ NUCLEAR OPTION For deep work sessions, activate Nuclear Mode. This locks all your blocked sites for a set duration (30 min to 12 hours) with absolutely no option to unlock. Perfect for deadlines. 🧠 FRICTION & BREATHING ROOM Customize how hard it is to unlock a site: • Breathing Room: Force a 5–30 second pause before the unlock button appears. • Cooldown Between Unlocks: Prevent re-unlocking the same site for 5–60 minutes. • Escalating Friction: Make repeat visits harder by requiring a challenge. Choose between typing a randomized sentence, solving a math problem, or forced waiting. • Strict Mode: Disable unlocking entirely for full lockdown. 🛡️ PIN PROTECTION Lock your Intent dashboard with a custom 4-digit PIN. This prevents "future you" from easily circumventing your rules, turning off the extension, or changing settings in a moment of weakness. 🏆 GAMIFICATION & MOTIVATION Stay motivated with built-in progress tracking: • Focus Score (0–100): A daily score based on how well you resisted distractions. Aim for a perfect 100. • Day Streaks: Build consecutive days of focused browsing. Keep your streak alive! • Achievement Badges: Earn badges like 🧊 Cold Turkey (zero unlocks in a day), ☢️ Nuclear Survivor (completed a Nuclear session), 💎 Fortnight Focus (14-day streak), ✨ Perfect Day (scored 100), and more. • Personal Records: Track your longest streak, best focus score, and total blocks. • Confetti & Celebrations: Unlock a badge and get a burst of confetti to celebrate your wins. 📊 INSIGHTFUL ANALYTICS See exactly how much time you've saved. Track your weekly browsing patterns with visual graphs, view your most frequently unlocked sites, see your top reasons for unblocking, and understand your habits at a glance—all from a beautiful dashboard. 🔒 PRIVACY-FIRST Intent runs 100% on your device. Your browsing history and data never leave your browser. No accounts. No tracking. No external servers. Build better habits. One intentional click at a time.
