Lesscroll is a private, local-first Chrome extension that interrupts mindless scrolling without blocking sites. Set limits for chosen domains, see focused-time reminders, then leave, snooze, or continue intentionally. No account, analytics, or backend.
I built Lesscroll because conventional website blockers felt too rigid for the problem I wanted to solve. I did not want another tool to make the final decision for me; I wanted a deliberate pause before continuing.
Lesscroll measures focused time only on domains you choose. When a continuous or daily limit is reached, it offers three honest options: leave, snooze, or continue intentionally.
Privacy was part of the design, not an afterthought. There is no account, backend, analytics, telemetry, advertising, or remote code. Rules and usage counters stay in Chrome's local extension storage, and the complete source is available on GitHub under the MIT License.
This is a hobby project and the first public release. I would especially value feedback on whether the interruption feels useful without becoming annoying, and whether the setup is clear.
the local-first approach with no account or analytics is exactly right for something this personal. love that it nudges instead of blocking, that respects user agency way more than typical site blockers.
