## Description

Website Time Blocking is a Chrome extension that helps you reclaim your attention by replacing fast, mindless clicks with mindful decisions. When you try to open a distraction site, you face an unskippable prompt and must declare how you’ll use the site (duration, video count, etc.). If your plan expires, the site is blocked and a cooldown prevents immediate retry.

Choose from Duration Mode for timed sessions or Count Mode for YouTube video caps. The extension includes a dark mode, a clean, modern design, and fully customizable settings. It ships with a ready-to-use blocklist targeting popular distractors like Instagram, Reddit, and YouTube, while letting you add any URL you need. After each session, tweak cooldowns and keep your browsing focused.
