Angel: Mindful Browsing

Detects infinite scroll, autoplay and other attention traps, then offers one quiet nudge. Runs on-device. No account, no cloud.

A private on-device AI companion for intentional browsing. The internet is becoming increasingly good at shaping our attention. Endless feeds, autoplay, countdown timers, and notifications are designed to keep us engaged longer than we intended. Angel helps you notice those moments before they quietly turn into loops. Angel is a local-first Chrome extension powered by Gemma that offers small, non-judgmental nudges to help people stay intentional online. Instead of: “You’ve been scrolling too long.” Angel might say: “This feed is good at making time disappear.” Features • Detects manipulative browsing patterns • Tracks cognitive drift during browsing sessions • Lightweight reflective nudges • Adjustable support level from Quiet → Active • Fully local inference with Gemma • Privacy-first architecture Private by Design • No cloud tracking • No browsing history sent to servers • No account required What you do online stays with you. The goal is not dependence on the tool. The goal is helping people become more resilient online over time. Built for Your Digital Resilience
