Chrome extension to add Mindful pause before distracting websites.
ZenBlock helps you stop doomscrolling by adding mindful friction right at the moment distraction starts. Instead of showing an aggressive “Access Denied” page, ZenBlock gives you a calm 30-second breathing pause before you enter distracting sites—so you get a real chance to choose focus over impulse.
Whether you want to study, do deep work, or break the “dopamine loop” of endless tabs, ZenBlock is designed to help you build a healthier browsing habit—without relying on willpower alone.
How ZenBlock works
Install & set up in seconds (no account required to start).
Choose websites to block (like YouTube, Instagram, X, etc.).
When you try to visit a blocked site, ZenBlock shows a breathing-based “Mindful Pause” that helps interrupt autopilot scrolling.
Use Strict Mode, Scheduling, and Focus Timer to stay locked-in during deep work sessions.
