One thing that would make this way more useful for me is a "snooze with accountability" option, so when the gate pops up I can choose to wait 10 or 15 minutes and it pings me with what time I wasted. Pure blocking feels too punishing for smaller distractions, and having a softer middle ground would make me actually stick with it instead of uninstalling after a week.
@kemalcakandg84 Thanks for the feedback! Totally agree that a hard blocking may feel too punishing for smaller distractions. Coincidentally a similar feature is being built, a warning notification, instead of blocking, it adds awareness so you stay in control but break the autopilot scrolling. And your "snooze with accountability" idea (postpone + see the time you spent) fits perfectly with that, so I'm gonna seriously consider adding it to the roadmap.
Does the motivational gate actually unlock the site after a set time, or do you have to finish some task first before it lets you through?
@yaar58863951762 You have to wait a set time (chose by user on settings page) before unlocking the button that dismiss the overlay
