Block ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude & more. Focus timer with full-screen countdown, custom blocklist, and private on-device usage stats.
Clarity helps you control your use of AI chat tools by blocking and/or tracking usage. Choose Block for timed focus sessions, Track for private on-device analytics, or use both. Works with ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Perplexity, and any sites you add.
PRIVACY & PERMISSIONS
We do not collect, transmit, or sell personal data. Usage stats and settings are stored locally in your browser.
HOW TO USE
(1) Install and pin the extension.
(2) Track your usage (private, on-device).
(3) When you want to cut down, open Focus and start a Block session: choose a duration and press Start. The popup becomes a countdown and AI sites stay blocked until time’s up.
(4) Add extra domains under Custom if you want to block more.
(5) Check Streaks for days installed (streak resets if you uninstall).

- This app has opened my eyes and assisted me in making more conscious online choices

- Clarity is a game changer for staying focused. It removes the temptation to copy-paste problems into chatbots and forces you to think for yourself. I’m getting more done, learning more deeply, and trusting my own brain again. Clarity has no doubt become inextricably linked to my work regime and I do not see that changing in the foreseeable future given how seamlessly it has been incorporated into Chrome.

- What a genius idea, this app has really helped make me more aware of my AI usage and help break patterns of over reliance. So incredibly user friendly and intuitive to use. Highly recommend!
- Pei Chenyan
- This is an amazing web tool that is super easy to get on with. i got into uni after the gpt came out. I think ChatGPT is a capable assistant, but I feel that I’ve become somewhat over-dependent on it. This dependence has negatively affected my grasp of fundamental knowledge to some extent — I no longer develop my own understanding of concepts. However, the web function helps me use ChatGPT much more efficiently.

- Anaelle Harel
- The app I didn't know I needed. No spam, no popups, and so simple. You just install it and it quietly starts tracking. The numbers go up the moment you use any AI agent, and suddenly you're more aware of your habits. Being more aware of my AI usage has genuinely motivated me to cut down. And when I want to write an essay fully on my own, I just press start session and Clarity becomes a digital bouncer and its honestly just so refreshing. It has truly given me clarity.
