Cookie Monster: Visual Time Wasting Reminder

A fun web browser extension that limits time wasting on websites by visually showing a cookie being eaten away during usage, helping users be more mindful of how they spend time online.

What is Cookie Monster?

Cookie Monster is a productivity-focused web browser extension that aims to help users spend less time mindlessly browsing the internet. It works by showing a cookie icon next to the address bar that visually represents time being spent on websites.

As the user continues browsing a site, Cookie Monster will slowly eat away at the cookie to represent time passing. This creates a visual reminder that can nudge users to be more conscious about their browsing habits and prompt them to move on once they've spent enough time on a site.

The extension allows customizing options like setting a maximum cookie size, controlling which sites it works on, and adjusting the cookie depletion rate. So users can tweak it to best fit their personal browsing needs.

By gamifying productivity and turning time into a visual element, Cookie Monster takes a unique approach to discouraging internet procrastination and distraction. The charming cookie animation keeps the concept fun rather than punitive. And it works across all major browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
