Chrome Extension
Pawse blocks distracting sites with a real cat. Browse freely, hit your limit, meet your cat — then get back to work.
Pawse
How it works
Add your distracting sites — YouTube, Reddit, TikTok, X. Set how long you're allowed to scroll before Pawse steps in.
Time's up. A real cat takes over the page. Not AI-generated — actual cats. You're not getting past this one.
The break timer counts down. When it hits zero, the cat leaves and you're back. Rinse, repeat, actually get things done.
Why Pawse
Not AI-generated cat images. Actual cat footage. Because you deserve a real cat when you mess up.
Close the tab, refresh the page, open a new window — the timer keeps running. No cheating your way out.
Set browse and break time in minutes or hours. 25 min browse, 5 min break — or whatever actually works for you.
Everything stays on your device. No accounts, no tracking, no ads. Just you and the cat.
