Brain Gate
Block Distractions. Build Better Habits.
Brain Gate is a browser extension that helps you break free from addictive websites using progressive friction. Instead of hard blocks that you'll just disable, Brain Gate makes distracting sites slightly harder to access, building your self-control muscle over time.
How It Works
Progressive Friction
Puzzles, time delays, and typing challenges add just enough friction to break automatic browsing habits.
Customizable Categories
Block social media, timewaster sites, adult content, or create your own custom categories.
Smart Scheduling
Set different blocking levels for work hours, evenings, and weekends.
Privacy-First
All blocking happens locally. We never see your browsing history or the sites you visit.
Simple Pricing
Monthly
Full access to all features
Yearly
