Intent Firefox

Intent

Block distracting sites and unlock them intentionally with time-bound access.

Features & Capabilities

Stop Doom Scrolling. Start Living Intentionally.

Do you find yourself unconsciously opening social media tabs, only to lose hours of your day? Intent is not just another website blocker—it's a tool designed to help you build healthier digital habits through intentional friction and gamification.

Instead of permanently banning sites (which often leads to frustration and uninstalls), Intent introduces a "breathing room" moment. When you try to visit a blocked site, you are paused. To proceed, you must state your reason, make a conscious choice, and set a specific duration for your visit.

Key Features:

🛑 Intentional Blocking Block distracting websites (like YouTube, Twitter/X, Instagram, Reddit) effectively. When you try to visit them, Intent intervenes—right on the page, no redirects.

🔓 Time-Bound Access Need to check a message? Unlock a site for 5, 10, or 30 minutes. When time is up, the site is blocked again. No more "just 5 minutes" turning into 2 hours. The countdown timer even pauses when the tab is in the background so you get your full time.

🎯 Intent Tracking Every time you unlock a site, you choose a reason—Work, Learning, Research, Creation, or your own custom intent. Over time, see your top reasons for unblocking and understand your browsing triggers.

☢️ Nuclear Option For deep work sessions, activate Nuclear Mode. This locks all your blocked sites for a set duration (30 min to 12 hours) with absolutely no option to unlock. Perfect for deadlines.

🧠 Friction & Breathing Room

  • Customize how hard it is to unlock a site:
  • Breathing Room: Force a 5–30 second pause before the unlock button appears.
  • Cooldown Between Unlocks: Prevent re-unlocking the same site for 5–60 minutes.
  • Escalating Friction: Require typing a randomized sentence to unlock a site if you've already visited it multiple times today.
  • Strict Mode: Disable unlocking entirely—full lockdown.

🏆 Gamification & Motivation (NEW) Stay motivated with built-in progress tracking:

  • Focus Score (0–100): A daily score based on how well you resisted distractions. Aim for a perfect 100.
  • Day Streaks: Build consecutive days of focused browsing. Keep your streak alive!
  • 11 Achievement Badges: Earn badges like 🧊 Cold Turkey (zero unlocks in a day), ☢️ Nuclear Survivor (completed a Nuclear session), 💎 Fortnight Focus (14-day streak), ✨ Perfect Day (scored 100), and more.
  • Personal Records: Track your longest streak, best focus score, and total blocks.
  • Confetti & Celebrations: Unlock a badge and get a burst of confetti to celebrate your wins.

📊 Insightful Analytics (IMPROVED) See exactly how much time you've saved. Track your weekly browsing patterns with visual graphs, view your most frequently unlocked sites, see your top reasons for unblocking, and understand your habits at a glance—all from a beautiful dashboard.

🔒 Privacy-First Intent runs 100% on your device. Your browsing history and data never leave your browser. No accounts. No tracking. No external servers.

Build better habits. One intentional click at a time.

User Reviews

Just what I needed, always distracted, this forces me to be mindful about using or getting out of distracting site I tend to go to for no good reasons but mindless scrolling. Would be nice to have it accessible on android too. Big thanks for this and making it free!

Is Intent Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Intent requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Intent is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
