ResistGate — Website Blocker with Typing Challenge

Add a typing challenge before distracting sites so you stop browsing on autopilot. A speed bump for your bad internet habits.

🚧 A speed bump for your bad internet habits. ResistGate adds a typing challenge before distracting sites, so you stop opening YouTube, Reddit or X on autopilot. Most website blockers are binary — allowed or blocked. ResistGate lives in the middle. It adds intentional friction before the sites you want to resist, forcing a pause and a conscious decision instead of autopilot scrolling. Built for people who don't want hard blocks, just enough friction to resist. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ❓ WHY RESISTGATE? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ You've tried distraction blockers before. You disabled them in 10 seconds. The problem isn't willpower. It's that hard blocks feel like punishment, so your brain rebels and bypasses them instantly. ResistGate is different. It doesn't lock you out — it makes you earn access. That small moment of friction is enough to break the autopilot loop and let you decide intentionally. This is intentional browsing, not a prison. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚙️ HOW IT WORKS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ - Add any site you want to resist — YouTube, Reddit, X, TikTok, Instagram, or any URL. - Choose your typing challenge phrase and difficulty. - Try to open the site. - ResistGate intercepts and shows the challenge. - Type the phrase to continue — or close the tab and get back to work. - Either way, you made a conscious decision instead of a mindless one. No accounts. No cloud sync required. No bloat. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎯 BUILT FOR ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ - Developers and engineers who loop between Reddit, Hacker News and YouTube while coding. - Students who need to protect study sessions from TikTok and Instagram rabbit holes. - Remote workers who lack the structure of an office to stay on task. - Indie hackers and founders who doomscroll X and Product Hunt instead of shipping. - Anyone practicing digital minimalism or trying to stop procrastination for good. - People who want deep work sessions without nuking their entire internet access. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✅ FEATURES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ - Add any website as a guarded site. - Custom typing challenge phrases. - Difficulty levels — short phrases to long ones. - Enable / disable on a schedule. - "Back away" option — close the tab without completing the challenge. - Simple weekly stats: gates triggered, times you resisted, top distracted site. - Clean, fast, lightweight — no impact on browser performance. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚫 THIS IS NOT ANOTHER PRODUCTIVITY EXTENSION ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ There are dozens of focus extensions and distraction blockers out there. ResistGate does one thing: it adds intentional friction before the sites that pull you in on autopilot. No motivational fluff. No gamified streaks you don't need. Just a clean, purposeful speed bump between you and your worst internet habits. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔒 PRIVACY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ResistGate does not sell your browsing data. Your guarded sites, challenge settings and focus stats are stored locally on your device. Nothing is sent to external servers without your explicit consent. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🧪 INSTALL AND TEST IT FOR 7 DAYS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Add ResistGate to Chrome, guard one site you keep opening on autopilot, and see what happens the next time you reach for it out of habit. Most users are surprised by how often they close the tab instead of completing the challenge. That moment — that small pause — is the whole product. ResistGate — intentional browsing for people who want to stop procrastination, reduce digital noise, and build better internet habits through friction, not force.
