What does it really do?

Well thats easy to understand. There are 2 modes.

  1. Work
  2. Chill
When you switch to work mode, it asks you to list all the websites that you are addicted to.For example: YouTube, Instagram, Twitter... And it locks you out of those websites.


For how long? How do I unlock them? I need to have some fun at least...

The extension asks you to choose one out of the two unlocking modes-

Time Based

In time based locking mode. It will ask you for how long you wish to lock these websites and they will be forbidden. If you still try to visit these websites, you shall be redirected to a standard page, reminding you to get back to your tasks or redirect you to a website of your choice.

Password Based

In password based unlocking, you shall be asked to type in an unlocking password which can be set by someone else and can be unlocked by them once you are done with your work.


Compatibility

Currently, this extension works only on Chrome, Edge and hopefully other Chromium based browsers. But one of the long term goals for this project is to be cross browser compatible. If you wish to help me make them compatible across browsers, feel free to open a new issue or shoot me an email or direct message me at any of my socials 👇🏼


Contributing

  • The project is currently in the very initial stages of development. So I am currently not accepting any Pull Requests.
  • However, contributions in the form of feature requests & bug reports are most welcome. 😊
