Can't stop scrolling? The lion's got the gate.

When your time's up, a big cat takes over your screen and holds it until you actually take a break. Works on any site you choose. Real footage, no AI.

Why it actually works

Most blockers are easy to ignore. A full-screen animal staring back at you is not.

๐ŸŒ

Any site, your rules

Whole-browser, social-media presets, or your own custom list, not just a handful of hardcoded sites.

โฑ๏ธ

Reliable timing

Counts only active time on the sites you chose, in the focused window, never idle or background tabs.

๐Ÿ”„

Survives refreshes

Your timer and breaks persist across page reloads, tab switches, and browser restarts.

๐ŸŽฌ

Real footage, no AI

A genuine lion or tiger, real footage cleanly cut out. No AI-generated "slop."

๐Ÿพ

Pet the big cat

Click the animal while you wait for a little hit of calm. Breaks should feel nice.

๐Ÿ”’

Totally private

No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. Nothing ever leaves your device.

How it works

Three steps. Then forget about it until the cat shows up.

Install & pick your sites

Add it to Chrome and choose which sites to watch, or the whole browser.

Set a limit & a guardian

Choose your work limit, break length, and whether a lion or tiger guards the gate.

Get up when it appears

Hit your limit and the big cat takes the screen. Stretch, breathe. It leaves when your break's done.

Choose your guardian

Switch anytime in the popup. More may join the pride.

The Lion

Calm, regal, immovable. The classic gatekeeper.

The Tiger

Intense, eyes locked on you. Harder to ignore.

Your browsing stays yours

Lion Gatekeeper runs entirely on your device. It has no accounts, no analytics, no ads, and no tracking.

It never collects, transmits, or sells any data. There's nothing to leak.

Questions

 

Does it really work on every site?

Yes. Choose whole-browser mode, social-media presets, or a custom list of your own sites.

Is the animal AI-generated?

No. It's real footage of an actual lion and tiger, with the background removed. No AI image or video generation.

Will it slow down my browser?

No. It tracks time efficiently with a single scheduled alarm and only shows the overlay during a break.

Do you collect any of my data?

None. Settings are stored locally in your browser and never sent anywhere.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free.
