Overview

Stop mindless scrolling and reclaim your focus. Nevermind is a productivity extension that adds a 30-second cognitive challenge—like math or quick chess puzzles—before you visit distracting sites like YouTube, Netflix, Twitter (X), or Reddit. It isn't a hard blocker; it’s a mindful "speed bump" that replaces impulsive habits with a quick brain workout.

🎯 Why it works
Unlike a strict website blocker or site limiter that triggers "forbidden fruit" cravings, Nevermind uses friction. By completing a short brain game like math or chess, you break the dopamine loop and gain a moment to decide: Do I really want to browse this, or should I get back to work?

⚡ Key Features
Adaptive Brain Games: Includes math challenges and mini chess puzzles that get harder as your speed improves.
♟️ Mini Chess Challenge: Solve quick chess puzzles before opening distracting sites.
XP & Skill Rating: Track your progress with an Elo-style rating and high scores.
Smart Skip System: Get 3 daily skips for when you genuinely need instant access.
Keyboard-First: Designed for speed—no clicking required, just type and go.
100% Privacy: No accounts or tracking. All data is stored locally and works offline.

🔧 Perfect for:
Students needing a study aid to avoid YouTube rabbit holes.
Professionals looking for time management tools to stop doomscrolling.
Users seeking a mindful browsing alternative to aggressive app blockers.
Anyone interested in gamified productivity and brain training.

🚀 Quick Setup
Add distracting websites.
Visit them and face a 30-second brain challenge (math or chess).
Beat the game and choose: Continue to site or Close tab.

Turn your distractions into a daily brain workout.
