About
Impulse – Website Blocker, Focus & Screen Time Control Block distractions, set smart limits, run deep focus sessions, and stay accountable — all in one powerful focus system. Struggling to stay focused or losing time to endless browsing? Impulse helps you control distractions in different ways — from strict website blocking to timed deep focus sessions and shared accountability groups. Unlike traditional blockers, Impulse doesn’t just block websites. It adds conscious friction that helps you build real focus habits. 🔑 Core Features 🔒 Strict Website Blocking Block distracting websites during work or study sessions. These blocks can’t be bypassed while active. ⏱ Time & Visit Limits Set daily limits for how long or how often you can open a site. 🔥 Focus Sessions (Single-Tab Mode) Lock yourself into one tab and stay fully immersed. Switching tabs requires conscious confirmation. Add a timer to turn it into a structured focus sprint. 👥 Focus Groups (Accountability Mode) Join public challenges or create private groups with friends and family. Share focus rules, track progress together, and stay accountable. 📊 Screen Time Tracking See exactly how much time you spend on each website. All data is stored locally — nothing leaves your browser. 🧠 Mindful Friction Tools Anti-scroll breaks, confirmation screens, usage warnings, and more — designed to reduce impulsive browsing. 💡 Why Impulse Most website blockers rely on hard restrictions. Impulse combines strict blocking, flexible limits, focus sessions, and accountability — so you can choose the level of control you need. Use strict blocks when access is not an option. Use limits for balanced control. Use focus sessions to eliminate multitasking. Use groups to stay accountable. No accounts required. No tracking. 100% local. 100% free. Install Impulse and take control of your online focus.
