Intender

Set intentions before visiting websites to stay focused and mindful of your browsing goals.

Intender helps you browse the web with intention. Instead of blocking websites, it creates a gentle moment of pause — asking you to reflect and type your reason for visiting before you enter. **How it works:** 1. Add websites you want to be more mindful about (social media, news, streaming, etc.) 2. Set a personal intention phrase for each site — your reason for visiting 3. When you navigate to that site, Intender shows a calm reflection page where you type your intention before continuing **Why Intender instead of a website blocker?** Traditional blockers create frustration. Intender takes a different approach inspired by mindfulness practices: it doesn't prevent you from visiting any site. Instead, it adds a brief pause that helps you check in with yourself. Many users find this gentle friction is enough to break autopilot browsing habits. **Features:** - Mindful intention pages with a clean, calming design - Flexible URL matching — works with domains, subdomains, and specific paths - Fuzzy matching for typo-tolerant intention entry - Quick-add from the toolbar popup — set intentions without leaving your current tab - Full settings page for managing all your intentions - Import/export your settings for backup or sharing - Inactivity timeout — re-prompts your intention after periods away from the tab - Works entirely offline — no account, no signup, no servers **Privacy first:** Intender stores everything locally on your device. No data is collected, no analytics are sent, no accounts are required. Your browsing intentions are yours alone. **Open source:** Intender is free and open source under the AGPL-3.0 license.
