FlowBreaker adds mindful friction to distracting sites so you browse with intent, not impulse.

Do you ever find yourself on Reddit, YouTube, or X — and you can't remember clicking there?
For the ADHD brain, the path from "one quick look" to a two-hour spiral is instantaneous. FlowBreaker is the cognitive speed bump your prefrontal cortex has been waiting for.

How It Works
When you navigate to a site on your blacklist, FlowBreaker redirects you to a calm, minimal gate — not a harsh blocked page.

You choose one of two paths:
-> Intent Check — Type out exactly why you're visiting (e.g., "checking React docs"). Once you hit the character threshold, the Unlock button activates. The act of writing filters out 90% of impulse visits.
-> Breathing Space — A 10-second guided breathing animation breaks the dopamine hit of the distraction and lowers your arousal state before you proceed.

Key Features
+ Custom Blacklist — You choose which sites trigger your autopilot mode.
+ Focus Guard — Switch tabs during breathing? The timer pauses. No cheating the system.
+ Timed Access — Cleared the gate? You're unlocked for a set window (10, 15, or 30 min). When it's up, the gate closes.
+ Friction History — Per-domain check-in tracking so you can see your own patterns over time.
+ Intent Chips — Quick suggestion prompts for high-distraction sites like Facebook and YouTube.
+ Passive Reminders — Background nudges after unlock keep you accountable without interrupting your flow.
+ Privacy First — Runs 100% locally. No data collected, tracked, or sold. Ever.

Why Friction, Not Blocking?
Hard blockers get bypassed in a moment of frustration. FlowBreaker doesn't say "No" — it asks "Are you sure?" That one question is enough to short-circuit the autopilot and let your intentional brain take the wheel.

Reclaim your focus. Build a better relationship with your browser.

Install FlowBreaker — and break the loop.
