  Block distracting websites. Hatch adorable pets. Stay focused.
  
    Nurrow Companion works with the Nurrow desktop app to block distracting websites during focus sessions. When you hit a blocked site, instead of a boring error page, your
    pet companion shows up — walking, playing, chasing butterflies, and cheering you on to keep going.
  
    FEATURES
    • Smart Blocking — Block Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, and more during focus sessions
    • Deep Work Mode — Block ALL browsing except your allowlist. The nuclear option for maximum focus
    • Pet Companion — Your active pet appears on every blocked page with animations and encouragement
    • Automatic Sync — Blocklist syncs from the desktop app automatically. No setup needed
    • Safety Phrase — Can't impulsively unblock sites mid-session
    • Offline Support — Works offline after initial sync
  
    HOW IT WORKS
    Install the extension, start a focus session in the desktop app, and you're protected. The extension syncs your blocklist automatically and blocks sites in the background.
  
    PRIVACY
    No tracking. No analytics. No ads. No account required. Only communicates with localhost — all data stays on your device.
