About sorry-were-closed
Block distracting websites after you've spent too much time on them. Smart, per-site time limits to help you stay focused.
Sorry, We're Closed is a smart website blocker that helps you maintain focus by blocking distracting sites only after you've exceeded your time limits.
Unlike traditional site blockers that block entire websites for fixed periods, this extension uses intelligent per-site visit tracking to help you break the habit of mindless browsing.
How It Works
Add Websites: Add any website you want to manage, like social media, news sites, or entertainment platforms
Set Visit Time: Configure how long you can visit a site before it gets blocked, for example 5 minutes
Set Block Duration: Configure how long the site stays blocked after exceeding your limit, for example 30 minutes
Automatic Tracking: The extension tracks your active tab time automatically
Smart Blocking: Sites are only blocked after you've spent the configured visit time on them
Key Features
Per-Site Configuration: Set different visit time and block duration settings for each website. This means you can be strict with YouTube but more lenient with Gmail.
Smart Blocking: Websites are only blocked after you've spent a specified amount of time on them. If you quickly check something and leave, you won't get blocked.
Flexible Time Units: Configure times in seconds, minutes, or hours to match your needs perfectly.
Automatic Tracking: Tracks your time on sites automatically and only counts active tab time, so background tabs don't count against you.
Clean Interface: Simple, collapsible UI with expandable settings for each website. Easy to use and configure.
Reset on Visit: Timers reset when you visit the site again after the block expires, so you get a fresh start each time.
Example Use Cases
Gmail: Block for 4 hours after visiting for 5 minutes. This prevents email checking addiction while still allowing you to quickly check important messages.
YouTube: Block for 30 minutes after visiting for 2 minutes. This stops endless scrolling while still letting you watch a quick video.
Social Media: Block for 1 hour after visiting for 3 minutes. This limits mindless browsing without completely cutting you off.
