About this extension
★Update Notes ★
  • You can now add custom target sites!
    Note: Tracking may reset on sites with frequent page changes or reloads.
    Best for social media and video sites where you stay on the same service for a while.

———————————————————

Social media is just too hard to stop checking, isn't it? 💦🥵
What you need isn't more willpower — it's a cat that forces its way onto your screen!!

You know that cat who always shows up right when you're trying to work? 🐈️
We've recreated that classic cat-owner experience in your browser.

Oh well, they're too cute to stay mad at.
Let's face it — humans are just servants to their cats.
We are powerless against their charm.
The supreme beings. The ultimate fluffballs.
Let their adorableness heal you while you take a proper break.

■ Who this is for
* The scrolling won't stop
* You suddenly realize an hour has passed
* Willpower alone just isn't cutting it

■ How to use
1. Set your usage limit (default: 30 min)
2. Set your break time (default: 5 min)
3. Set your favorite sites (default: major social media sites)
4. When time's up, a cat appears
5. Rest until the countdown ends

■ How it works
* Only counts time when a target site tab is active
* Tracking resets when you switch to another tab or app
* After your break, the usage timer starts again

■ Supported Sites
The default settings include major social media sites.
You can add, remove, or change target sites from the menu.
Note: Tracking may reset on sites with frequent page changes or reloads, so Cat Gatekeeper works best on social media and video sites where you stay on the same service for a while.
  • Page access permission is used solely to display the break overlay (cat overlay).
  • No data is collected or transmitted externally.
  • Free, no ads
