🐾 The cute website blocker for Chrome
A little paw on your distractions
Pawse gently stops you on the sites that eat your day. Then you decide how hard it is to get back in: a breath, a wait, a sentence to type, or a hard lock.

Everything a blocker should do, with a cat who believes in you.
Right-click to block
Spot a time-sink? Right-click anywhere and choose Block. Whole site or just one page, done in a second.
Friction, your way
Take a breath with the cat, wait a minute, type a sentence, say why, or lock it for days. You pick how hard it is to get back in.
Allowances
Keep a site, just not all of it: 30 minutes of YouTube a day, or 5 visits to Reddit a week. Then the paw comes down.
Only the addictive part
Block YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels or the Reddit front page, and keep the useful rest of the site.
Focus sessions
One tap locks your list for 25, 50 or 90 minutes, or blocks the whole web except the few sites you need.
Private by design
Your block list and stats never leave your browser. No account, no tracking, no ads.

Questions
Can Pawse see what I browse?
No. Your block list, settings and stats are stored in your own browser and never sent anywhere. If you buy Pro, we only store an anonymous install ID, your license key and your payment status.
Can’t I just switch it off?
You can: any Chrome extension can be disabled. Pawse isn’t a prison, it’s a speed bump. Most scrolling is on autopilot, and a few seconds of friction is usually enough for the urge to pass.
Does it work in incognito, Edge or Brave?
Yes. Allow Pawse in incognito from its Chrome settings (it shows you how), and Chromium browsers like Edge and Brave can install it from the Chrome Web Store too.
How do I cancel Pro?
Anytime, from the extension (Plan → Manage subscription). You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
Ready to take your time back?
