Summary

Social media and content websites actively hook us into habits of mindless consumption while using the web. Without even thinking about it, you will open a tab and start to check Facebook or Reddit. Social Habit Disruption gives you the ability to disrupt the habits that eat up time you could be spending on your own projects.

** PRIVACY INFO ** I value you privacy and this app does not track, modify or use your personal data or usage information in any way. It simply injects a pop-up on social media and content sites and tracks a timer. If you'd like to verify that, you can see all the sourcecode at https://github.com/maxkirchoff/social-habit-disruption

When enabled the extension will display a pop-up for the following sites: Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram, Reddit, Tumblr and YouTube. More sites will be added later, please let us know if you want one added.

The pop-up displayed will give a reminder that there's more important things to do than flip through content like a zombie.

If you want to take a break and look for some cat videos on YouTube or what's top on Reddit, simply select a time and dismiss the pop-up.

After that time, the pop-up will come back and remind you to get back to it!

User reviews
Pretty good. But I wish it had 2 more features: 1. Customise the list of domains, and; 2. Allow unfiltered access for certain times of day or days of week. Otherwise, good plugin.

Es una buena aplicación, te recuerda que debes ser productivo y que tienes que volver a trabajar. Cada vez que estés en facebook, youtube o sitios similares aparecerá un mensaje en el cual tendrás que comprometerte a regresar a trabajar dentro de 5, 10, 15, 45 minutos, después de ese tiempo, volverá a aparecer el mensaje recordándote lo que ya habías prometido.
