What is Urge Guard?
Urge Guard isn't a harsh site blocker — it's a self-awareness tool. When you visit a site you want to be mindful about, it introduces a brief pause and asks you to reflect on what you're feeling. Then it lets you continue.
Over time, you build a picture of why you reach for distractions — not just that you do.
How it works
Features
Emotion tracking
Choose from 7 emotion categories (avoidance, fear, boredom, frustration, fatigue, shame, freeze), each with nuanced sub-options. Rate your intensity on a 1-10 scale and add a note about what you were doing.
Visit duration tracking
See how long you actually spend on sites after completing the countdown. Visits are tracked per-tab and end automatically when you switch away.
48-hour activity feed
A unified timeline showing both your urges and site visits from the last two days.
Weekly insights
Discover patterns in your browsing habits:
- Which emotions drive your urges most often
- Which sites you're drawn to the most
- Your average urge intensity
- Total time spent per site with daily averages
Flexible site patterns
Use wildcards, exceptions, and comments in your site list:

How it works
- Add sites you want to be mindful about (e.g., reddit.com, twitter.com)
- When you visit one, a countdown page appears (default 20 seconds)
- During the pause, identify what you're feeling — boredom? avoidance? fatigue?
- After the timer, continue to the site if you still want to
- Your visit duration is tracked so you can see how much time you actually spend
