Mind Leak is a unique Chrome extension designed to help you become aware of excessive app usage by displaying an image of yourself or others when you've spent too long on an app — a phenomenon the developer calls a "Mind Leak." This visual reminder encourages you to reduce procrastination and supports digital minimalism or detox efforts.
