Resistor: Distraction Blocker & Productivity Booster

Tired of wasting time on addictive websites? Resistor is your ultimate distraction blocker and focus enhancer, designed to help you resist temptations and build better habits. This powerful Chrome extension blocks distracting sites with engaging challenges, turning procrastination into productivity.

Key Features: -- Customizable Site Blocking: Easily add or remove blocked sites like YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, and more. Use a simple multiline list for quick setup. -- Dynamic Challenges: Choose from Easy (word typing), Medium (math problems), or Hard (phrase completion) difficulty levels. Each level has 10+ random challenges to keep it fresh and unpredictable. -- Positive Redirects: Instead of just blocking, redirect to productive sites like Upwork, ClickUp, or any custom URL for a "mindful pause" – promoting positive habits over frustration. -- Elegant UI: Modern, dark-themed interface with gradients, icons, and responsive design for a seamless experience across devices. -- Persistent Settings: Save your preferences with Chrome sync storage – works across all your devices.

How It Works:

Configure your blocked sites, difficulty level, and redirect URL in the settings.
Visit a blocked site, and Resistor presents a challenge overlay.
Solve the challenge to access the site, or choose to "Refocus Your Energy" for a productive redirect.
Build discipline and track your progress over time.
Benefits: -- Boost Productivity: Reduce time spent on distractions and increase focus on work, studies, or personal goals. -- Overcome Addiction: Gentle resistance training to break habits related to social media, video streaming, and entertainment sites. -- Time Management: Regain control of your browsing habits with customizable, gamified challenges. -- User-Friendly: Intuitive popup and options pages – no complex setup required.
