Hey PH! 👋 I'm Niranjan — I built Mindframe because I kept opening Chrome "for 5 minutes" and losing an hour. iPhone has Screen Time. Android has Digital Wellbeing. But the browser — where most of us actually spend our time — had nothing good. Mindframe fixes that. It's a Chrome extension that: 1. Tracks time per site automatically (zero setup) 2. Shows you where your hours actually went 3. Lets you block yourself from time-sink sites 4. Has a "Lockdown" focus mode you literally can't escape A few things I'm proud of: - Drift Detection — it notices when you leave GitHub and open Twitter within 5 minutes, and asks "was that intentional?" One small nudge, no blocking. - YouTube Focus tags — click a brain icon on any YouTube video to mark it as "studying." That video's time counts as productive instead of entertainment. - Everything is local — your browsing data never leaves your machine. Period. It's $5 for lifetime access (no subscription, no upsells, no "premium tier 2"). The free tier gives you 7 days of history and basic tracking. Would love your feedback — what features would make this a daily driver for you?
