Intender

The mindful alternative to website blockers. Set an intention before opening Twitter, TikTok, or Reddit. Reflect before you enter.

Ever opened a tab, blinked, and lost twenty minutes? That's autopilot browsing. Intender helps you enter with purpose. 🧭 How it works: 1. Pick the sites where you tend to drift (social media, news, YouTube, etc) 2. Set an intention phrase for each: "I'm here to catch up with friends," "I'm here to watch a tutorial," something concrete 3. Next time you visit, Intender asks you to type your intention. 🌿 Why not just use a blocker? Blockers get frustrating fast. You want to check something, the extension says no, you disable it. Intender doesn't fight you: it reminds you of your purpose. You decide if you want to follow it. 🔒 Privacy first: Everything stays on your device. No data leaves, no analytics, no accounts. What you're trying to do online is your business. ✨ Features: - Clean, unhurried intention pages: designed for focus, not friction - Target whole sites or just the parts that hook you (e.g. youtube.com/shorts) - Easy typing: small typos are forgiven - Quick-add from the toolbar without leaving your current tab - Settings page for managing everything in one place - Import/export for backup or sharing - Optional re-prompting when you come back after a break, so old tabs don't become new rabbit holes - Fully offline — no account, no signup, no servers 💛 Open source: Free and open source under AGPL-3.0.
