Threshold
Settings

Set your standard.

One list, two numbers. Pick the sites where the standard applies, set the bar you'll hold yourself to, and the threshold does the rest. You write the rules here, once, so you're not renegotiating them at midnight.

I

The sites the standard applies to. Click a tile to gate it, click again to remove it, or add a whole category at once. Each gets the considered pause before it opens. The minutes beside each site are what the gate offers first for a visit; you can pick a different length at the door. Changes save themselves, and once gating is on, a new gate reaches tabs you already have open.

Suggested for you

Threshold can scan your top-visited sites to suggest what to gate. The list is computed here in your browser. No history ever leaves this machine. Click above to grant access (revokable any time in Chrome).

II

The bar you're holding yourself to. Lower is harder. Your Honesty Score and streak are measured against this. Both reset when you go over.

minutes per day

Stay under this and your streak holds. Go over and the day breaks. The limit covers total time across every site in your list, not per site.

seconds before entry

How long the threshold holds you on the gate before the Continue button unlocks. Research places the inflection, when hesitation tips into deliberation, around ten seconds.

III

Tools you work in. These sites open without the pause, even when a parent domain is in the list above. docs.google.com stays frictionless while google.com can still be gated.
