About Mindful Site Timer
# Full Description
Mindful Site Timer is a lightweight Chrome extension for reducing doom-scrolling and helping you browse with intention.
## What It Does
- Set daily limits for specific sites
- Target entire sites or specific paths, like YouTube Shorts only
- Optionally include subdomains per rule
- Use immediate block mode by leaving daily minutes empty
- Show a short mindful pause screen when time is up
- Add small same-day extensions (1, 2, 5, 10 minutes) when needed
- Reset usage automatically at local midnight or your custom reset time
## How It Works
- You add the sites you want to manage in Settings
- The extension tracks active-tab time on those sites
- When your daily allowance is reached, the page is replaced with a short breathing-style pause experience
- After the pause, you can either stop browsing or extend for a few minutes
## Privacy-First by Design
- No ads
- No analytics
- No remote servers
- No sale or sharing of data
- All settings and usage data are stored locally in your browser
Mindful Site Timer is built to stay focused, simple, and transparent.
# What's New (1.0.1)
Mindful Site Timer 1.0.1 improves real-world browsing workflows and pause consistency.
- Track time across multiple visible windows (not just the currently focused window)
- Pause countdown now requires tab focus and resets on focus loss
- Extending time in one tab now dismisses matching pause overlays in other tabs
- Slower breathing animation for a calmer rhythm
- Cleaner site list UX with compact cards and inline edit support
