Intent Gate: Mindful Browsing & Website Timer

About

Intent Gate helps you browse distracting websites with purpose instead of habit.

When you open a website like YouTube, Reddit, Instagram, X, Netflix, or any site you choose to monitor, Intent Gate shows a simple checkpoint before you continue.

It asks:

“Why are you opening this website?”

You can choose an intent such as work, learning, quick break, entertainment, boredom, or no clear reason. Based on your intent, Intent Gate gives you a time limit and starts a focused browsing session.

Instead of blocking websites completely, Intent Gate helps you pause, decide, and browse with awareness.

Key features:

• Add distracting websites you want to monitor
• Choose your reason before entering a monitored site
• Get time limits based on your intent
• See a session timer while browsing
• Receive a reminder when your time ends
• Extend only with a clear reason
• View simple summaries of your browsing intentions

Intent Gate is not a strict website blocker. It is a mindful access layer that helps you notice the difference between intentional browsing and automatic scrolling.

Use it for:
• Reducing mindless scrolling
• Managing YouTube, Reddit, Instagram, X, Netflix, and shopping sites
• Taking controlled breaks
• Staying aware during work or study sessions
• Building better browsing habits

Intent Gate helps you create a small pause between impulse and distraction.
