Surfaced

Come up for air. You opened a long page for a quick check. A few minutes later, you are 20 screens deep. Surfaced is a private browser extension that helps you notice endless scrolling before it turns into doomscrolling. It tracks signed, cumulative scroll depth and shows a gentle reminder when you have gone farther than you meant to. Where it helps - Social feeds and infinite-scroll timelines - News sites with endless recommendations - Forums, long threads, and comment sections - Single-page apps with no natural stopping point What Surfaced does - Lets you choose the first reminder threshold in screens - Shows follow-up reminders at 2× and 3× your threshold - Lets you customize the first reminder text - Lets you dismiss the current reminder without silencing the next deeper level - Includes a complete manager for per-site enablement and threshold overrides - Pauses reminders and badge updates on every tab until Chrome restarts - Imports and exports all persistent settings with a local JSON file - Separates page-access diagnostics from the health of saved local settings - Shows your current depth in the toolbar badge after you pass the threshold - Works on Chrome desktop Why it feels different Surfaced is built around reminders, not blocks. It does not lock pages, force timers, or shame you for browsing. It adds a calm scroll-depth cue so you can notice the moment and decide what to do next. Because downward movement adds depth and upward movement subtracts it, Surfaced's net cumulative scroll depth is more useful on infinite feeds and many single-page apps than a simple page-position check. Private by design - No analytics - No account - No remote services - No data sent anywhere Persistent settings stay in browser.storage.local; the temporary pause stays in browser.storage.session. Surfaced does not use sync storage, and local import/export files are never uploaded. Available in English and Polish.
