Summary
Analyze keywords

Entirely in your control.

You specify which sites you'd like to be mindful about your time on, and provide a list of things you'd generally rather do instead.

Mindful Browsing doesn't block you from visiting sites - it simply asks if you'd like to visit, and if so, reminds you 10 minutes later.

Beautiful.

Mindful Browsing features stunning photographs from some of the world's best landscape photographers. If you're a photographer and are interested in having your work featured, email [email protected].

NEARLY PERFECT. Been using it for multiple months now and it helps me from mindlessly opening a new tab. I have two suggestions. First making it so there's an option to completely block you from a site until you turn off the extension. Second, making it possible to change how long you can be on a website. I personally will just start scrolling then I would see that it's been 7 mins and then get back to work. I would like to have the option to make the 10 mins into 5 or 3 mins. I love this software. Truly amazing! :)
