Vault Guard doesn't block silently. The Overseer shows up, asks you to explain yourself, and makes you choose. You might get through. You might not. Either way — you decided. Not autopilot.
"You again. Didn't we just do this?"
Most focus apps lose because they fight your autopilot with a wall. Vault Guard fights it with a game. Every blocked visit becomes an RPG encounter — a character, a dialogue, a verdict. The friction is the mechanic. The mechanic is the memory. And the memory is what actually changes behavior.
I've tried five different blockers. I bypass every one of them within twenty minutes. My hands just know what to do — the brain comes second.
I type the first two letters and Chrome fills in the rest. The blocker never even gets a chance. At some point I realized the app wasn't my actual problem.
I set a two-hour daily limit on Twitter. Hit the wall, opened settings, removed the limit, and was back scrolling in under a minute. I genuinely don't remember making that decision.
Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram — add any domain to the blocked list. Or select by category: Social, Gaming, News, Adult Content, and more.
Every attempt to visit a blocked site summons The Overseer. He knows what you're doing. He's been watching the logs. He does not approve.
Choose your excuse. You can still enter — but you already know it's wrong. That awareness is the entire point.
"You again. That's four times today. State your business."
The base Overseer is completely free — no subscription, no trial period. Additional characters are coming as one-time purchases. You will never pay to use the core blocking feature.
Nothing leaves your browser. All settings, statistics and blocked sites are stored locally using Chrome's built-in storage API. There are no servers, no accounts, no analytics. The Overseer only reports to you. If this ever changes, you will receive a clear notification before any new data practices take effect. No surprises.
Yes. The Override button is always visible after the Overseer delivers a denial. Vault Guard respects your autonomy — it creates friction, not a hard wall. You can also disable Override entirely in Settings if you want strict mode.
Chrome only for now. Chrome covers around 65% of desktop browser usage, so it made sense to start there. Firefox and Safari ports are on the roadmap.
Yes. In Settings → Active Hours you set a schedule per day — the Overseer only activates during those hours. Outside the schedule, sites are accessible normally. The extension icon changes to signal whether you're currently being watched.
Free forever. But if Vault Guard saved you hours of mindless scrolling, a small crypto tip keeps development going.

No pressure. The Overseer judges actions, not intentions.
"We both know these places are dangerous. Addicting. You already know you should moderate. The question is whether autopilot gets to decide."
