## Description

Sordino helps you stay focused by adding gentle friction to distracting websites instead of blocking them completely.

<strong>Features:</strong>
  • Block social media, video, and news sites during work hours
  • Flexible schedules - set different blocking times for different days
  • Limited daily bypasses (3 per day) - enough flexibility without losing discipline
  • Per-site toggles within categories
  • Quick-add sites from the popup menu
  • Weekly stats to track your progress

<strong>How it works:</strong>
  When you visit a blocked site, Sordino shows an overlay reminding you to stay focused. You can use a bypass if it's important, but limited bypasses encourage mindful browsing.

Unlike hard blockers, Sordino respects your autonomy while creating just enough friction to break autopilot browsing habits.
