About

Hype Control is a free, open-source Chrome extension that adds friction between you and impulse Twitch purchases — gift subs, bits, and subscriptions. It doesn't block anything. It just makes sure the decision is actually a decision.

What it does:
  - Shows the real price with tax, because Twitch won't.
  - Translates purchases into work hours — "that's 2.5 hours of your life" hits 
    different than "$50".
  - Puts spending in terms you feel — that gift sub is 16 Costco hot dogs.
  - Scales confirmation steps with price: small purchases get a nudge, big ones  
    get cooldown timers, type-to-confirm, and a math challenge.
  - Daily, weekly, and monthly spending caps with progress bars.
  - Savings calendar that tracks every dollar you didn't spend.
  - Streaming mode auto-bypasses friction when you're live on your own channel.
  - Per-channel whitelist — skip, reduce, or keep full friction per streamer.
