Overview

Willpower is an open source, fully configurable website blocker.

It allows you to take a breath before visiting a web page that might eat hours of your time.

Most importantly, it does not track ANY data about you.

🔎 Features

1️⃣ Advanced URL matching.

You can block the website, a specific page or even a search query in Google (I blocked "NBA", for example).

2️⃣ Breathing timer.

If you decide to visit a page, Willpower will turn on a timer before closing the screenwall (a popup that Willpower injects into a web page to block it).

I think having some time to catch a breath and change your mind is a key trick to reduce procrastination.

3️⃣ Configurable screenwall.

You can configure breathing timer duration, copy of the quote and buttons on the screenwall.

By default, Willpower will disable a screenwall for 15 minutes (in case you decide to visit a website). Of course, you can configure the browsing time as well.
