FocusCat - Stop Doomscrolling

Overview

### How It Works 1. **Set a time limit**: Define how long you're allowed to stay on distracting websites (e.g., 30 minutes). 2. **Set a break duration**: Decide how long your break should last once the blocker triggers (e.g., 5 minutes). 3. **Browse normally**: The extension won't interfere with your browsing until the time limit is reached. 4. **Forced break**: When time runs out, the extension displays a full-screen overlay playing cat videos and disables page scrolling until the break ends. ### Key Features - **Automatic site detection**: Built-in recognition rules for popular platforms like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, X (Twitter), and Reddit. - **Custom watchlist**: Manually add other distracting websites to your tracking list. - **Smart timer**: Customize both browsing limits and forced break durations. - **Personalized video replacement**: Not into cats? Upload your own local `.mp4` or `.webm` video to play during breaks. - **Dark theme UI**: Includes a dark mode interface design. ### Privacy & Data The developer states that this extension does not collect or use user data, sell it to third parties, or use it for purposes unrelated to core functionality or credit scoring. The current version is 1.0 and supports 54 languages.
