Overview

Add friction to distraction. Block sites with a soft nudge and a quick math challenge.

Stop mindless browsing. Start choosing intentionally. Friction doesn't hard-block websites. It interrupts you for five seconds so you can decide if you actually want to be there — then makes you earn your way in. How it works Visit a site on your block list and a calm overlay appears showing you how long you've spent there today and how many times you've already bypassed it. You can go back — or proceed by solving a quick challenge. Two challenge types Math — Solve 3 multiplication problems. Takes about 10 seconds and snaps your brain back online. Memory grid — A 5×5 grid flashes 6 tiles for 5 seconds. Remember them, then pick them out. Harder to do on autopilot. Snooze, don't punish Complete the challenge and choose how long to unlock the site: 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, or until midnight. When the timer expires, Friction returns automatically — no manual re-blocking needed. Deep Work mode Starting a focused session? Activate Deep Work and all your blocked sites become hard-blocked for the duration. No challenges, no bypasses. A live countdown badge stays on screen so you can see your session time at a glance. Focus Score Your daily Focus Score starts at 100 and counts down based on time spent on distraction sites. Watch it recover as you stay on task. The sidebar shows your top distraction site for the day so you know exactly where your attention is leaking.
