Wardkin

Chrome extension that blocks distracting websites and runs concentration sessions. Click the popup to add the current site to the block list; visits to blocked sites show a high-opacity grey overlay with a red “This site is blocked” message. The page stays faintly visible underneath in greyscale and cannot be scrolled or interacted with.

You can also start a concentration session for the current website (30 minutes by default). If you switch to a different site during the session, a reminder overlay asks you to return. When the session finishes, Gargou appears in a small toast at the top-right of the page.

Test it

1. Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions
2. Turn on Developer mode (top right)
3. Click Load unpacked and select this project folder
4. Open any website (for example https://example.com)
5. Click the Wardkin extension icon in the toolbar
6. Click Block this site
7. Reload the page — you should see a greyed-out overlay with the red message, and the site faintly visible in greyscale behind it
8. Try scrolling or clicking — the page should stay locked
9. Open the popup again and click Remove next to the site, then reload to confirm access is restored

Concentration session

1. Open a website you want to focus on and click the Wardkin icon
2. Leave duration at 30 minutes (or set another length) and click Start session
3. Switch to a different website in another already-open tab (no reload needed) — you should see a “Stay on task” reminder with the focused site and time remaining
4. Click Return to site to go back, or Continue anyway to dismiss the reminder on that tab
5. When the timer finishes, a small Gargou toast appears at the top-right of the current page. Ending a session early from the popup skips that celebration.

If you change extension files, click Reload on the Wardkin card in chrome://extensions, then test again. You do not need to reload the websites you already have open.
