Summary
Nudgeti gives you a nudge when you spend too much time on some websites.
Newsfeed algorithms, trending topics or related videos are a trap for your attention. Companies using them are trying to make you spend as much time as possible on their platforms.
How it works
- Spend more than two minutes on social media sites like Facebook or Twitter, and a notification will pop up. It will tell you about the time you spent there.
- After two more minutes on the same website, another notification will appear.
About
- Nudgeti does not block websites. It will help you snap out of the mesmerized state by telling you how much time you spent on the site.
- You can configure the notification time and the site list in the extension options.
- You have to spend more than a fifth of the notification time (around 24 seconds by default) away from a blacklisted site, to reset the timer.
User reviews
I really like the idea, but the current version does not seem to be working on Firefox 74.0

Seriously wonderful tool, a gentle nudge is way more effective than blockers (which one ends up just disabling) for me.
Can we get an option to change the sound effect, please? <3

I am super digging the app it's really nice - even with youtube. Because I use youtube in two different ways, one way I am using youtube, I am listening to 4 hour jazz music the other way I am endlessly watching comment reading videos and staying up way too late.
I was hoping Nudgeti could help some me stop one of the ways I use youtube but not be too bother by the other and it worked out awesomely. So Nudgeti does not bother if you happen to have a blacklisted site open in a tab so long as you are not on the tab, so I can still listen to my four hour jazz so long as I have it playing in a background tape and just open up a new tab but Nudgeti starts to nudge me when I sit there and watch videos exactly when I need it.
