## Description

MindLock is a hard-lock distraction blocker built for people who are serious about reclaiming focus.

Unlike soft blockers that can be paused or bypassed, MindLock locks you out for a set number of days. Once activated, the only way out is waiting — the timer and your password must both clear before anything unlocks.

<strong>Features:</strong>
- Block any site (social media, adult content, or anything else draining your time)
- Keyword blocking — redirects pages whose URL or title contains words you define
- YouTube allowlist — block YouTube entirely but allow specific videos or channels
- Schedule mode — block only during set hours, or keep it on 24/7
- Live countdown timer on every blocked page
- Educational content on the blocked page (neuroscience, philosophy, habit science) so the redirect is useful, not just a wall
- On Firefox: reinstalling the extension restores an active lock — uninstalling is not an escape

No sync, no accounts, no data collection. Everything stays on your device.
