## Description

Pet Gatekeeper is the cutest forced-break extension for your browser — a cat gatekeeper and dog gatekeeper that hijacks your screen with full-screen cat and dog videos the moment you've scrolled social media too long.

Set a browse limit and a break time. When you go over on the social media, video or news sites you choose to monitor, a pet takes over the screen until your break ends. You can't keep scrolling until your cat or dog says you can.

Why install Pet Gatekeeper instead of yet another blocker?
- Willpower doesn't work, but cuteness does. Hard blockers get uninstalled in a week — a cat sitting on your screen is impossible to be mad at, so you actually stop doom-scrolling.
- Free, no ads, no account.
- No data collection. Videos are stored locally in your browser.
