Detects infinite-scroll behavior and helps you regain control. Pattern Breaker is a Chrome extension designed to help you regain control over your scrolling habits on social media and content-heavy websites. Many modern platforms are built around infinite scrolling and endless feeds. Pattern Breaker detects this behavior and steps in at the right time with gentle reminders or firm breaks, helping you pause, reflect, and avoid losing track of time. 🚀 Features ✅ Supports popular social media sites ⏱️ Smart activity tracking Only tracks time when the tab is active and the window is focused Pauses automatically when you switch tabs or applications 🧠 Two intervention modes Gentle Nudge: A small, non-intrusive overlay reminding you how long you’ve been scrolling Hard Stop: Blocks the screen and enforces a cooldown period to help you actually take a break 📊 Detailed statistics Daily stats: See how much time you spent on each site today (resets at local midnight) Weekly stats: View your total time spent across supported sites over the last 7 days ⏳ “1 More Minute” option Grants exactly 60 seconds of active viewing time If you switch away, the timer pauses, so you always get your full minute ⚙️ Fully customizable per site Set time limits (10m, 15m, 20m, 30m) Choose break durations (5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, or Rest of Day) “Rest of Day” blocks the site until midnight in your local time 🔒 Privacy-first All tracking and settings are stored locally in your browser.
