Friction between your wallet and the hype train. Spending caps, cooldown timers, and reality checks before Twitch purchases. Hype Control is a free, open-source Chrome extension that adds friction between you and impulse Twitch purchases — gift subs, bits, and subscriptions. It doesn't block anything. It just makes sure the decision is actually a decision. What it does: - Shows the real price with tax, because Twitch won't. - Translates purchases into work hours — "that's 2.5 hours of your life" hits different than "$50". - Puts spending in terms you feel — that gift sub is 16 Costco hot dogs. - Scales confirmation steps with price: small purchases get a nudge, big ones get cooldown timers, type-to-confirm, and a math challenge. - Daily, weekly, and monthly spending caps with progress bars. - Savings calendar that tracks every dollar you didn't spend. - Streaming mode auto-bypasses friction when you're live on your own channel. - Per-channel whitelist — skip, reduce, or keep full friction per streamer.
