  Time Out: Page Blocker is a simple yet powerful Chrome extension designed to help you stay productive and minimise distractions. 
  
  Whether you're working, studying, or just trying to be more mindful online, this extension gives you the tools to block distracting sites—without the frustration of traditional blockers.
  
  🔹 Key Features:
  
  ✅ Custom Website Blocking – Block specific sites that distract you and regain control over your time.
  
  ✅ Pause & Reflect – Instead of an instant block, Time Out requires you to hold a button for a few seconds before accessing a blocked site, helping you make a conscious choice.
  
  ✅ Mindful Browsing – Encourages you to pause and consider whether you really need to visit a blocked page, promoting better online habits.
  
  ✅ No More Frustration – Unlike rigid blockers that force you to disable them, Time Out provides a flexible approach that reduces the urge to turn it off completely.
  
  ✅ Smarter Self-Control – Over time, you’ll develop better discipline and awareness of your browsing habits, leading to improved focus and productivity.
  
  ✅ Customisable Schedules – Set blocking rules for specific hours, so you can stay focused when it matters most and allow access during your breaks.
  
  Take charge of your online habits with Time Out: Page Blocker. Stay on track, minimise distractions, and get more done—on your terms.

  Hold (formerly Time Out) helps you build a healthier relationship with distracting websites.
  
  Instead of aggressively blocking websites or locking you out completely, Hold encourages a moment of pause before you continue browsing – helping you stay intentional, focused, and in control.
  
  Whether you're working, studying, or simply trying to scroll less mindlessly, Hold gives you a calmer, more sustainable way to manage distractions online.
  
  Features
  
  ✅ Mindful Website Blocking
  Block distracting websites and create space to focus on what matters.
  
  ✅ Pause Before You Browse
  When visiting a blocked site, Hold asks you to pause briefly before continuing – helping break the autopilot habit.
  
  ✅ Stay in Control
  No harsh lockouts or frustrating restrictions. You always choose what happens next.
  
  ✅ Build Better Browsing Habits
  Small moments of reflection can lead to healthier, more intentional online behaviour over time.
  
  ✅ Custom Schedules
  Create your own blocking schedules for work, study, evenings, or whenever you want fewer distractions.
  
  ✅ Designed to Reduce Frustration
  Traditional blockers often get disabled out of annoyance. Hold takes a gentler approach that’s easier to stick with long-term.
  
  Take control of your attention with Hold – a calmer, more intentional way to browse the web.
