Interlude

You don't need more willpower. You need a dopamine break… Traditional productivity extensions treat you like a child. They force total restriction – locking you out of your favorite sites until you get frustrated and inevitably hit "uninstall." Interlude doesn’t lock your sites. It adds a deliberate moment of friction. By introducing a dopamine brake, we replace mindless scrolling with conscious choice. Forget manual timers and strict rules – just take 10 seconds to decide if that tab is worth your focus. CORE FEATURES 📅 Zero-Touch Calendar Sync Skip the manual 'Work Mode' toggles. Interlude syncs with your Google Calendar to protect your focus the moment a meeting or deep work session begins. The second your session ends, the internet is yours again. You don't have to think about it – just set your calendar and do the work. 🧘 The Dopamine Brake Opening a distracting site triggers an instant interlude. Instead of a hard 'No,' you're guided through a 10-second breathing exercise. It is just enough time to break the dopamine loop and let the craving pass. ✍️ Intentional Access We never lock you out. To bypass the interlude during a focus session, you must manually type the phrase: "I choose distractions." This deliberate friction converts a mindless impulse into a conscious act, unlocking the site for a 15-minute pass. The loop is broken before the doomscrolling even begins. BUILT FOR SPEED AND PRIVACY We have no interest in your data. Interlude only checks a URL locally at the exact moment of intercept. Your browsing history never leaves your machine. No heavy background processes or battery drain. Interlude only wakes up when your calendar says it's time to focus. Your settings live inside your browser, not a distant server. This means instant interception with zero lag. WHO IS THIS FOR? Interlude is built for professionals, students, ADHD brains, and anyone who wants to reclaim their deep work. If you've tried every other strict productivity tool and deleted them a week later, Interlude is for you. Your focus is your most valuable asset. Stop giving it away to the algorithm. Install Interlude and choose your distractions.
