What is Purpose Browser?
Purpose Browser is a Chrome extension designed to help you stay focused and productive while browsing the web. It encourages you to set a clear intention and a time limit for your online activities, preventing mindless scrolling and keeping you on track.
Once you start a session, a movable and resizable "intention bar" appears on every webpage you visit. This bar constantly displays your stated goal and the remaining time, serving as a persistent reminder of your purpose.
Key Features:
✅ Set Intentions and Timers: Before you start browsing, define what you want to accomplish and for how long.
✅ Floating Intention Bar: A persistent, movable, and resizable bar on every page keeps your goal and timer in sight.
✅ Session Management: Easily pause, resume, or end your focus session from the extension's popup or the intention bar itself.
Focus Modes:
✅ Black & White Mode: Turns webpages grayscale to minimize distractions.
✅ Liquid Glass Mode: A fun, visual effect for the intention bar.
✅ End-of-Session Notifications: Get an alert and an optional sound when your session is complete.
✅ Customizable Options: Tweak the extension's behavior in the options menu, such as enabling or disabling the end-of-session sound and focus modes.
