Want to stop mindlessly browsing and spending hours upon hours on websites that bring little value into your life?

The solution that people usually turn to is a site blocker, but what if you need to use the site occasionally? Sure, you could temporarily turn the block off, but then what are the chances that you'll turn it back on again?

With Chill, no site is permanently blocked. You can still get access to these sites... only if you have a reason. To get access to a blocked site, Chill allows you to send a request (with a reason) to your future self, with the amount of wait time proportional to the amount of time you've requested to spend on the site. This pause gives you time to stop and reflect, leaving behind your impulses and turning back to rational thought.
