Dumbtop – Calm Website Blocker

Companion to the Dumbtop app for Windows. Blocks distracting sites while you focus, with a calm block screen. Works offline.

Dumbtop turns your Windows laptop into a calm, distraction-free "dumb laptop". This free add-on lets the Dumbtop app block websites in your browser. What it does • Blocks the sites, keywords and categories you choose in the Dumbtop app, while you focus • Shows a calm block screen with the time left in your session – never a guilt trip • Feed hider: while Dumb Mode is on, endless feeds, recommendations and short-video shelves on video and social sites disappear. Search, the video you opened and your messages keep working • Quiet chats: during focus, chat and email tabs stay open but don't ping – no notification sounds or pop-ups. Calls and anything you play yourself still work • Blocked words are caught however they're typed: with spaces, dashes or look-alike letters ("t3chno blade") • Works in Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers With Dumbtop Pro • Smart blocks: block just the feed or the short videos of a site instead of the whole site – search and messages still work • Feed hider all day, not just in Dumb Mode • Visit with a purpose: for sites like AI chats, say what you need, get a few minutes, then a gentle check-in (three visits per site a day) • Pause before opening: a few calm breaths before a distraction, then you choose • Daily time limits you set yourself How it works The add-on works together with the Dumbtop app on the same PC. It talks to the app only through your own computer (127.0.0.1), never the internet. If Dumbtop isn't running, nothing is blocked. If the app isn't on your PC yet, a short welcome page with a link to it opens right after you install. Private by design • No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking • Never reads what you type or what's on a page – only its title, checked on your PC against words you've blocked • Sends the Dumbtop app on your PC only the domain of the active tab (for limits you set) and of sites that were blocked (for your own stats) Requires the Dumbtop app for Windows from the Microsoft Store.
