About

Stop endless scrolling. Take control of your time.

Chill for 5 mins is a smart productivity extension that gives you a set time allowance on distracting websites before gently blocking them. Unlike other blockers, the timer only counts when you are actually looking at the tab—so switching back to your work doesn't waste your break time.

⏱️ How It Works

Visit any tracked website in your blocklist.
Your timer starts counting down immediately.
Switch tabs? The timer pauses automatically.
Time's up? Complete a typing challenge to earn more time.
After a set period, your timers reset automatically.

✨ Key Features

Active Tab Tracking: The timer only runs when the tab is visible and focused.
Per-Site Timers: Each site gets its own 5 or 10-minute allowance.
Shared Mode: Option to pool all sites into one shared time budget.
Typing Challenge: Prevents impulsive bypassing with a character typing test.
Auto Reset: Get fresh time allowances every 1 or 2 hours.
Pre-configured Blocklist: Comes ready to manage popular social media and video platforms out of the box.
Custom Sites: Add your own specific URLs to block.
Debug Mode: Test functionality with seconds instead of minutes.

🎯 Perfect For

Students trying to stay focused during study sessions.
Remote workers who need to manage distractions.
Anyone aiming for mindful internet usage.
People who want structured breaks rather than cold-turkey blocking.
