Description

Read what you've saved before browsing what you haven't. Detour gently redirects you from distracting websites to articles in your reading list — no willpower required. How it works: When you visit a site you've marked as distracting, Detour automatically opens an unread article instead. Features: • Works with Chrome Reading List or custom bookmark folders • Smart or always-redirect modes • Daily reading goals with progress tracking • Snooze feature for temporary access • Dark mode support • Privacy-focused (no tracking) Why Detour? Instead of blocking distracting sites outright, Detour replaces them with something worthwhile. Perfect for anyone who saves articles but rarely reads them, or anyone trying to build better browsing habits. Supporter Edition available: One-time purchase to support development and remove banners.
