LockIn for Chrome

Blocks distracting sites in Chrome during focus sessions, with the AI angle being context-awareness rather than a static blocklist you configure once and forget. The premise is that a smart blocker can adapt to what you are working on and make better decisions about what counts as a distraction in context. That is a reasonable idea, but the category is extremely crowded — Freedom, Cold Turkey, and a long tail of Chrome extensions have been doing static blocking for years, and the AI layer here is not yet obviously better enough to displace a tool you already have installed and have formed habits around. The honest read: it is a thin AI wrapper on a well-understood utility. The use case is real, the execution may be fine, but there is no visible differentiator that earns a Saturday install over what already exists. -> Best for: solo founder or indie hacker who wants distraction blocking without manually maintaining a blocklist
