Hedge - AI-powered distraction blocker

Hedge is a web browser extension designed to help you stay focused and achieve your goals by blocking distracting websites. You know that moment when you're finally ready to tackle your to-do list? "Just need to check one thing online real quick," you tell yourself. Next thing you know, it's 2 hours later and you've watched 14 different "how to be productive" videos on YouTube (ironic, right?), read every news article about that random topic you suddenly HAD to know about, and somehow ended up deep in threads about conspiracy theories involving pigeons. Meanwhile, that important task? Still sitting there, untouched. Hedge is here to help break this cycle. It's not another complicated "productivity system" – it's a straightforward Chrome extension that helps you stay focused by keeping you away from the sites that always seem to pull you away from what matters. ⏰ Smart Time Blocking: Set your active hours (like 9 AM to 5 PM) and working days to automatically enable site blocking during your productive hours. Because your focus time should match your actual work schedule. 🎯 Goal-Aligned Blocking: Set your work hours and active days to automatically keep distracting sites at bay when you need to focus. Because we all know willpower alone isn't enough. ⚡ Smart Pomodoro Timer: Built-in 25-minute focus sessions with short (5-minute) and long (15-minute) breaks help you maintain actual, sustainable productivity. No more "just 5 more minutes" that turns into 3 hours. 🔒 Flexible Site Access: Block entire domains (like youtube*) or specific pages. Whitelist the stuff you actually need, blacklist the stuff that keeps stealing your time. Simple as that. ☢️ Nuclear Mode: When you absolutely, positively MUST get something done, enable Nuclear Mode. It locks your blocking settings until your predetermined time is up. Future you will thank present you. 🎨 Intuitive and User-Friendly: No PhD required. Simple setup, straightforward controls, and a clean interface that doesn't need a manual to understand.

Think of it like a bouncer who needs to check IDs at every door to keep the party running smoothly! For total transparency: Hedge needs these permissions to function as your productivity guardian, helping you stay on track across all websites you visit. We take this responsibility seriously and use these permissions solely for the purpose of keeping you focused and productive.

Pause - Stop Mindless Browsing

Pause breaks the cycle of distraction and mindless browsing and helps you be more focused, productive, and intentional with your technology use.

The interruption created by Pause gently nudges you to make informed, intentional decisions about how you are spending your time. - Pause comes pre-seeded with a list of 50 top distracting websites, which you can add to or edit as needed. - You can also adjust the length of the Pause time (5 seconds is the default.)
