Focus Gate: Website Blocker with Typing Challenge

Guard your attention — block distracting sites with mindful typing challenges and motivational quotes before entering.

Focus Gate: Website Blocker with Typing Challenge Focus Gate adds a quick, mindful pause before you open any website you choose to add to this extension. When you open those websites that you added, Focus Gate shows a short motivational quote for you to type in full. Finish typing to unlock the website. Use the built-in quotes or set custom messages per specific websites. Optionally add a cooldown to space out re-entries. 🌐 How it works You pick the sites you want Focus Gate to guard (any website, your choice eg: youtube). When one of those sites opens, an overlay appears with a short quote or your custom message. You type the full text correctly to Unlock the website. Cooldown (optional) — what it actually does If you enable cooldown, then after you unlock a site once, closing it and reopening it during the cooldown window will not show the typing challenge again for that site. When the cooldown expires, the typing challenge returns the next time you open that site. Cooldown is off by default. You choose the duration (per your settings). This applies only to the sites you’ve added and only when cooldown is turned on. Each unlock becomes a small moment of intention, not impulse🧘 ✨ Key features 🗂️ Your sites, your rules – Add any website you choose; there are no pre-set categories. ⌨️ Typing challenge – Type the full quote/message to enter, creating a small but meaningful pause. 💬 Built-in quotes – Ships with a library of motivational quotes by default. 🏷️ Per-site custom messages – Write different messages for specific domains (e.g., “Am I here for a reason?”). 🕒 Configurable cooldowns – Choose how long a site stays on cooldown after you unlock it. 🧠 Session-smart – Avoids nagging; remembers unlocks for the current tab/session as configured. 🎨 Clean overlay – Minimal, readable design that stays out of the way. 🔐 Local & private – Runs on your device; no accounts, no tracking, no data collection.
