Description

Open source website blocker that does not track your data.

Willpower is an open source, fully configurable website blocker.

It allows you to take a breath before visiting a web page that might eat hours of your time.

Most importantly, it does not track ANY data about you.

🔎 Features

1️⃣ Advanced URL matching.

You can block the website, a specific page or even a search query in Google (I blocked "NBA", for example).

2️⃣ Breathing timer.

If you decide to visit a page, Willpower will turn on a timer before closing the screenwall (a popup that Willpower injects into a web page to block it).

I think having some time to catch a breath and change your mind is a key trick to reduce procrastination.

3️⃣ Configurable screenwall.

You can configure breathing timer duration, copy of the quote and buttons on the screenwall.

By default, Willpower will disable a screenwall for 15 minutes (in case you decide to visit a website). Of course, you can configure the browsing time as well.

❤️ Willpower extension is an open source project. You can find the source code here: https://github.com/makaroni4/willpower

We are all a bit addicted to scrolling on the Internet, and everyone can clearly identify the sites where they spend most of the time. Unfortunately, this sometimes happens even unconsciously out of fatigue or boredom. But I am sure that those who value their time and also want to have more time while working at the computer will be pleased to receive such unconditional support. Support from an inconspicuous, but so tenacious "friend". This small and cute assistant in the form of Willpower extension helps to focus even more on your own tasks without wasting time updating social networks, mail or websites, which can get stuck on very quickly. A few easy clicks and I'm on my way to a more productive day! Thanks to the creator. And maybe there will be something for the phone soon :)
