Why It Works

Simple principles to help you reclaim your focus.

Stop Mindless Browsing

By prompting you to set a clear goal *before* you start, Purpose Browser shifts your mindset from passive consumption to active, intentional browsing.

Stay on Task with a Visual Reminder

The ever-present intention bar acts as a gentle but effective anchor, pulling your attention back to your goal whenever it starts to wander.

Take Control of Your Time

With a built-in timer, you decide how long to spend on a task. This helps you avoid procrastination and dedicate the right amount of time to your activities.

About the Creator

Hi, I'm Matthew Leung, the creator of Purpose Browser.

As someone who spends a lot of time working and learning online, I know how easy it is to get sidetracked. One moment you're researching a topic, and the next you're deep in a rabbit hole of unrelated articles and videos. I built Purpose Browser to solve my own problem: the need for a simple tool to keep me anchored to my original goal.

My philosophy is that technology should serve us, not the other way around. Purpose Browser is designed to be a gentle, non-intrusive guide that empowers you to use the internet more mindfully. It's not about blocking websites, but about building the habit of intentionality.

I hope you find it as helpful as I do. Thanks for trying it out!

Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 4, 2025

Your privacy is important. This privacy policy explains what data Purpose Browser ("the extension") collects and why.

Data Collection

Purpose Browser is designed to be privacy-first. It does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. All data related to your sessions, such as your intentions and timer settings, is stored locally on your computer using the chrome.storage.local API. This data is never sent to any external server and is accessible only by you.

Permissions

The extension requests the minimum permissions necessary to function:

storage: To save your session data and settings locally on your device.
tabs & scripting: To inject the intention bar onto web pages. The extension does not read the content of these pages.
alarms: To make the timer work reliably in the background.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
