FocusFinder Widget: Browse, For A Reason

About

Boost your productivity and browse with purpose using Focus Finder. This extension encourages mindful web use by asking for your intention before you visit distracting sites and keeping that goal visible with a timer. It's not a blocker but a smart reminder to stay focused.

Many services are designed to get you hooked, to prolong your stay rather than help you reach your goal quickly. Dark patterns in UX and marketing use cognitive psychology to keep you distracted. I want to give you a tool to fight this.
