Description

Pause before YouTube Shorts & Instagram Reels. Free forever. Check your intent, then choose to continue or go back. Be intentional with your scroll. Shorts Intent Check is a tiny, friction-by-design extension that interrupts the YouTube Shorts autopilot. The moment you land on a Shorts URL, the feed is gently blurred, videos pause, and you're asked one simple question: "Why are you opening Shorts?" A 3-second countdown unlocks the buttons — just enough time to think. Then you choose: Continue — watch this once, mindfully. Snooze 10 minutes — quick break, then ask me again. Go back — close the tab on the impulse before it starts. No accounts. No tracking. No nagging. If you want to support my work, you can donate me here: https://ko-fi.com/brainr00ting
