ImpulsePause - ADHD Focus & Website Blocker

About

Most website blockers fail ADHD brains. They're too harsh, too easy to bypass, and often create frustration instead of focus.

ImpulsePause takes a different approach — a mindful "speed bump" between you and distracting websites, giving your brain just enough friction to break the impulse loop before it starts.

Built specifically for ADHD brains. Not a hard blocker. A pause.

─── HOW IT WORKS ───

When you open YouTube, Reddit, Instagram, or any site on your list, ImpulsePause intercepts the visit with a pause and asks: "What are you here for?" That small interruption is enough to break autopilot mode and redirect your focus where it matters.

─── KEY FEATURES ───

- Impulse Speed Bump — 5s pause on free; 8s on Pro, giving you more time to reconsider
- Focus Timer — run timed focus sessions directly from your new tab page, no setup needed
- AI Task Breakdown — turn vague tasks into concrete steps so you know exactly what to do next (PRO)
- Scheduled Focus Blocks — set recurring weekly reminders to start focusing at specific times
- Streak Tracking — build momentum with daily focus streaks and milestone moments
- Pattern Insights — see when and why your focus breaks down, with weekly stop-pattern summaries (PRO)
- Daily Check-in — optional evening nudge showing how many sessions you completed (PRO)
- Custom Site List — block any website, not just the presets (PRO)
- Time Allowances — set a per-site minute budget before the speed bump kicks in (PRO)
- Snooze Mode — intentionally allow access for a set period when you genuinely need it (PRO)
- Focus Lock — lock yourself in during active sessions so distractions stay out (PRO)
- Stop Reflection — if you end a session early, a one-tap prompt captures why — no guilt, just data

─── PERFECT FOR ───

→ Adults and students with ADHD or attention difficulties
→ Anyone who opens Twitter/Reddit/YouTube by reflex without meaning to
→ Remote workers who struggle with self-directed focus
→ People who've tried hard blockers but found them too rigid

─── WHY NOT JUST BLOCK SITES? ───

Hard blockers create resentment and workarounds. ImpulsePause works with your brain, not against it. The speed bump creates awareness without frustration — the same principle used in cognitive behavioral therapy for impulse control.
