Description

🎯 Browse with intention When you visit a distracting site, Intention will ask you to commit to a time limit in order to unlock the site. ⏰ Stay focused If you unlock the site, Intention helps you focus by showing how much time you have left. πŸ™ŒπŸ½ Get your attention back When your time runs out, Intention automatically ends your session and helps you reflect on how you'd like to be spending your time. No more unconsciously checking endless feeds the moment you're bored. No more thinking "just 5 minutes" and wasting hours. No more mindless browsing.

Great app if it worked on facebook, happily 5 stars if the facebook thing gets fixed

Doesn't do anything at all. Doesn't block websites. Completely unfunctional.

It's pretty good, for about a month or two. Then it's just too easy to bypass - you do it unconsciously. I think that each time you want to enter a site, you have to enter a phrase that changes each time. That way you have to really make a conscious effort to get into the site.

Only prompts up on youtube, doesn't show up on other websites like instagram or facebook. Love the look and would use it if it worked on the other websites.

the extension is alright but theres almost no customization when it comes to what to do at the moment of exceding the daily distraction limit (for example: setting the cooldown time to something higher than 30 secs, or an option to straight up prevent you from navigating the distracting website without having to enter focus mode every time), which might end up rendering the extension useless in terms of increasing productivity as you can just click a time, get a warning and just break a silly streak. also its closed source, so i cant fix the nuances myself lol.

When I saw the rating, which is 5 stars, I thought it might be great. But my expectations were ruined when I saw it. It was just showing that the time was completed but not blocking the website or didn't keep any banner on the website. So, I didn't find it helpful.

Does anyone have any idea why this extension needs to have a permission of accessing my personal information of the site I would like to register?
