SurfBreak

Reclaim focus with a mindful friction funnel. Break habit loops, block distractions, and stay intentional while browsing.

SurfBreak: Bridge the gap between your distractions and your goals. Most website blockers fail because they are too easy to bypass. SurfBreak solves this by integrating your To-Do list directly into the blocking process. It doesn’t just stop you from browsing; it redirects you toward the work that actually matters. How it works: When you try to visit a site on your blocklist, SurfBreak intercepts the request and guides you through a multi-tier "Friction Funnel." This funnel is designed to break your automatic habit loops through four intentional stages: 1. Breathing: A 10-second pause to stop the mindless impulse. 2. Cognitive Puzzles: Math challenges to engage your logical brain. 3. Task Redirection: Your real-time To-Do list is presented as a better alternative to the distraction. 4. Intentionality Typing: A final check to ensure you are making a conscious choice. Why SurfBreak? SurfBreak is built on the philosophy of "Mindful Friction." By combining a robust site blocker with your personal task list, the extension reminds you of your goals at the exact moment you are most vulnerable to distraction. Features: - Productivity Over Distraction: Instantly pivot from a blocked site to a pending task with one click. - Gamified Focus: Track your progress with a Focus Score that rewards disciplined choices and task completion. - Privacy First: Built on Manifest V3, all data stays local to your browser. No tracking, no accounts, and no data collection. Stop mindlessly surfing and start staying intentional. Install SurfBreak to reclaim your focus today.
