Yeah, that's a bummer, but thanks for trying!

Hey, I'd like to understand your request a bit better. Would the focus mode block all distracting sites for that period or simply activate Intention during a period that's normally disabled via the schedule?

You got it. Really appreciate that!

Thank you!!! I've been trying to figure out a way to obscure the background without hiding it entirely (which would make the popup feel a bit too obstructive) and blurring the background is the perfect solution. Expect to see this in a

No problem! I personally use Chrome as my primary browser for various reasons, but I love Mozilla's mission to create an Internet that puts people before profits. Happy to support my privacy-forward users. :)

Thanks for the fantastic advice. Keeping things simple is one of my core product principles, and I intend to be quite careful in what I add. I think it's much better to do a few things extremely well rather than many things somewhat ok

Thanks so much! There's an in-product mechanism that shows messages on major updates, but I might create a mailing list / Slack channel for a more dedicate space for feedback and updates. If I do, it'll add it to the next in-

No need to apologize! I enjoy trying other tools in this space and learning from all the different practices they use. Will check out LeechBlock — thanks!

Yay, glad you like it! I also found most tools to be too black and white. I made Intention to be the sweet middle path between blocking sites entirely and having unfettered access. I can definitely relate to the unpleasantness of getting ki

Yay, thanks! Appreciate it. :)

Ah, gotcha. If I'm understanding correctly, you skipped the onboarding which is where permissions are granted so it never worked. Thanks for finding this! Will add a check like you suggested.

Can you email me at the address above? Would like to help you get this working and happy to jump on a Zoom call to debug the issue with you.

Hm, this is a bit strange. It should work fine on Firefox, and a lot of other people on this thread seem to have no issues. Can you share what OS you're on and other extensions you have installed? Feel free to reply via email — my addr

Hey! I totally get where you're coming from. I wrote a post exploring the privacy and security of Chrome extensions: https://www.notion.so/dkthehuman/Day-4-The-Danger-of-Chrome-... I'd love to open source Int

Wow, I really appreciate that! My aspiration is to work on this sustainably full-time and expand to mobile, etc. so I do plan to eventually come up with a paid model for Intention (and would love your support when I do!). For now, it'l

Yup, I'm a fan of Motion, and I'm glad they're also trying to help people spend time well! It's a big problem to tackle, and given that we're up against multi-billion dollar corporations, we can use all the help we

Thanks so much! I spent a ton of time making sure that it's as privacy-oriented as possible and asks for minimal permissions, unlike most extensions in this space that ask for permissions for all sites. It doesn't make sense that

Yay! Honored you'd spend part of your daily limit to leave me a comment. :) Intention actually works on Firefox for Android so you can use it on Android today! Planning to build something special for iOS (the OS limitations make it cha

Hey HN, I've been working on a Chrome/Firefox extension called Intention to help me stay focused and not get distracted, and for me and my friends, we've found it more effective than other tools we've tried. The idea beh

I’ve been really into using scripts to enhance my browsing experience, so much so that I’ve spent the last 6+ months developing these extensions to curate my experience on the Web: - Intention ( https://getintention.com ) - Pauses

I built an extension called Hide Feed that replaces the feeds to stop you from being distracted before it even happens: https://hidefeed.com/ It might be what you're looking for.
