Gradually reduces the appeal of distracting content through subtle environmental effects. FadeOut doesn't block distracting sites — it makes them feel worse through subtle effects. Instead of a hard block you'll just bypass, FadeOut degrades the experience on sites you want to use less. Colors fade. Videos stutter. Playback slows. A timer reminds you how long you've been there. Over time, your brain starts to associate the site with friction rather than reward — and you leave on your own. ── EIGHT EFFECTS ── 🎨 Color Drain — the page loses color, from faded to full grayscale ⏸ Fake Buffering — videos pause with a loading spinner at random intervals 🐢 Speed Reduction — playback speed creeps down the longer you watch 🌫 Resolution Blur — videos and images are blurred 🔇 Volume Drain — sound fades out and can't be turned back up ⏱ Navigation Cooldown — each click to a new page costs a brief countdown pause 🕐 Time Counter — a quiet timer shows exactly how long you've been on-site 🚫 Tab Block — links that would open another restricted site in a new tab are blocked All eight are individually toggleable. Intensity is adjustable per-effect. ── YOU CHOOSE THE SITES ── There are no hardcoded lists. Add any site you want to use less — social media, news, video platforms, anything. Free users can add up to 2 sites. Pro users get unlimited. ── PRO FEATURES ── • Unlimited sites • Scheduled mode — effects only activate during hours you set (e.g. after 10 PM) • Keyword blocking — block entire categories of content by keyword • Tamper protection — makes it harder to override effects in a moment of weakness ── PRIVACY ── FadeOut runs entirely in your browser. Your site list and settings stay in Chrome's own storage — never sent to any server. The only network request is a weekly license check for Pro users. No analytics, no tracking, no ads. ── FREE TO TRY ── Install free and add up to 2 sites with all 8 effects. Upgrade to Pro ($1.99/mo or $19.99/yr) to remove all limits.
