Demo time runs fast: a session takes 8 seconds.
How it works
A few seconds that change the next thirty minutes.
1Pause
Open a distracting site and Intention covers it with one question: what are you here for?
2Set intention
Say why and choose how long. The site unlocks, with your time running out along its top edge.
3Relock
When time is up, the site locks again and asks whether you did what you came for.
As strict as you need
From a gentle nudge to a hard stop.
Ask
A pause and a question before every visit. Unlock for as long as you choose.
Limit
A daily limit across all your distracting sites, such as 30 minutes.
Cooldown
When a session ends, distracting sites stay locked for a while.
Focus
Distracting sites open only for productive sessions with a stated purpose.
Progress
Watch the good days add up.
Only when you want it
Set the days and hours Intention is on, for example:
- Weekdays, 9 to 5: stay on task
- Every night after 10 PM: wind down
- All day, every day: always ask

Reviews from the Chrome Web Store, quoted as writtenFantastic app! Unlike other site blocker apps that are just on/off, I really like how you can set little "breaks" if needed and set your intentions before browsing a page.
Pranab Sachi Brilliant. So simple, so useful - better than any other productivity app I know :)
Oliver Rutherford Such a helpful app! Really cut down on my time spent mindlessly browsing

Questions
- Will it block sites I need?
- Only the sites you add are locked, and you can unlock any of them for as long as you choose. A schedule keeps Intention off outside the hours you pick.
- Can I get around it?
- Yes, on purpose: Intention asks rather than forbids. When asking isn't enough, a daily limit, cooldowns and focus mode make it harder.
- Does it work in Firefox?
- Yes. Intention works in Firefox, and in Chrome, Edge, Brave and other browsers that install from the Chrome Web Store.
- Does it send my data anywhere?
- No. Intention keeps your sites, settings and stats in your browser's storage, and sends nothing anywhere.
