Summary

Time Snatch boosts your productivity by allowing you to limit the amount of time you spend on distracting websites.

You can completely block off a website or allow yourself to enjoy it for a few minutes (or hours) per day. After navigating to a distracting site you will be redirected to a productive one of your choice or to our default inspiring web page that will throw motivating quotes at you.

Time Snatch is lightweight, reliable and secure. It gives you the flexibility to block and manage each website individually.

Any comments, suggestions and ideas are welcome! Your feedback is invaluable and the extension will evolve depending on YOUR needs. Expect frequent updates and quick responses.

The "Read your browsing history" permission is needed to check whether the current website you are visiting matches any of the ones you have blocked. The extension never saves, sends or uses any of this information for other purposes. You can verify this by checking the open-source code at https://github.com/Thinkorswim/time-snatch.

love this, currently very annoyed with it though because it won't let me use websites in the redirect box--currently it only accepts the default motivational quote. when i try to add a website it just loads with a grey error screen"his site can’t be reached check if there is a typo in https" i love the redirect feature so it is pretty irritating

The "Global time budget" is a great idea, but is not executed well. There should be an option to add websites to the blocked websites list without setting a time allowance for them, and then when you use the websites on the blocked list, it will use the global time budget for the time allowance.
