Impulse Check

Interrupts unconscious browsing so you consciously choose your distractions.

Impulse Check helps you pause before opening distracting websites and decide whether you actually want to continue. Instead of completely blocking access, Impulse Check adds a short interruption between the impulse to browse and the website you were about to visit. When you open a site you have chosen to monitor, Impulse Check shows a series of funny, sarcastic, motivational, or thought-provoking messages before giving you two choices: Return to Work or Enter Anyway The goal is simple: turn automatic browsing into a conscious decision. Features • Add websites that tend to distract you • Set a current goal and see it during interventions • Choose from multiple coaching personalities • Get humorous, motivational, and reflective messages • Track how many browsing attempts were interrupted • See how often you chose to return to what you were doing • Keep your settings and activity stored locally in your browser Why Impulse Check? Traditional website blockers focus on preventing access. Impulse Check takes a different approach. You remain in control, but the extension creates a moment of friction before an impulsive visit turns into a long browsing session. It can be useful while studying, working, coding, writing, or doing anything that requires sustained focus. Sometimes all you need is a few seconds to realize: “I didn't actually mean to open this.” Choose your websites, set your goal, pick a personality, and let Impulse Check call you out when your habits take over. Pause the impulse. Check the choice. Get back to what matters.
