LockIn for Chrome - Increase productivity with AI distraction blocking

by•
The brand new LockIn chrome extension makes your agent even better at blocking distractions for you. Give it your to-do's for tomorrow, it adds them to your dashboard as tasks. Then open your laptop and start a task, every site that is not relevant to the task gets blocked, the ones you need stay available.

Hey Product Hunt, I'm excited to announce the brand new chrome extension for LockIn MCP! Just a few weeks ago we launched our first version of LockIn MCP which let your favourite agents block distractions for you. Now they can also create task lists for you and have much more flexible distraction blocking in our chrome extension. I personally use it like this: -> I list out my tasks for tomorrow at night -> Agent creates a task list -> I open my laptop and see my tasks, activate one -> All sites that are not relevant to my current task get blocked Excited to see you guys try out the new extension! Oh and to get it in more people's hands this time around, there's a free trial now! Let me know your thoughts! Mil

I’ve been using v1 for a while and loved it. This feels like a massive step forward, can’t wait to try it!

 Thank you SO MUCH for the support! Always happy to hear what users are thinking 🥰

 happy to help

Telling your agent to lock you out instead of relying on a Chrome extension is genuinely clever. Feels like the first blocker that respects how people actually work now.

Cool proactive angle, smart way to get the minimal set of tasks to achieve for your day. Congrats on the launch!

🧐 Good find

isn't the bypass problem still there though? if I can tell my agent "block distracting sites," I can just as easily tell it "unblock reddit for 10 minutes" the moment I actually want to procrastinate. feels like the friction comes from a human deciding to type that command, not from whether it's an extension or an MCP server. curious if there's any commitment device built in, like a cooldown before the agent will honor an unblock request

💎 Pixel perfection

 I agree, friction has been found to wear off after awhile and people will bypass anyways. However, I think that a large portion of people do just need a little bit of nudge to stay locked in, so hopefully this keeps developing with a community behind it to really make it impactful! The flow of how it works is pretty creative and removes a lot of the mental workload off of the user.

   thanks! I'm working as hard as possible on making it impossible to bypass. for example: my tool doesn't have features like 'take a break' or a button to unblock a site because you "really need it". you also can't disactivate tasks yourself, only way to do that is by finishing them.

 nope. the agent has instructions on how to behave! it won't grant unreasonable requests. something like a student who needs yt for school for one video would be okay (temporary unblock), but just random doomscrolling not.

Telling my agent to lock me out of distracting sites actually worked way better than I expected, no extension to uninstall when I cave. Surprised how strict it stays too, no obvious bypass.

 have you tried it?
