Dog Gatekeeper: a corgi-powered screen time blocker
Corgi Guard is a free Chrome extension for people looking for a dog gatekeeper or a dog version of Cat Gatekeeper: set a social media limit, and a corgi blocks the page when your break needs to start.
Add to Chrome - FreeWhat is a dog gatekeeper?
A dog gatekeeper is a screen time blocker that uses a dog as the visual interruption. Instead of a subtle reminder, the extension puts a dog on top of the page and makes the break obvious. It is the same broad forced-break category that made Cat Gatekeeper popular, but with a dog/corgi theme.
How Corgi Guard works
- Set your usage limit and break duration.
- Browse tracked social sites normally.
- When time is up, the corgi overlay blocks the page.
- When the countdown ends, the session resets.
Why use a corgi?
The point is not guilt. The point is a friendly interruption that is harder to ignore than a notification. Corgi Guard gives your attention a clear stopping point without needing an account, dashboard, or analytics tracking.
Is this the dog version of Cat Gatekeeper?
That is the easiest way to understand the category: Cat Gatekeeper uses a cat overlay, while Corgi Guard uses an original corgi overlay. Corgi Guard is independent, not affiliated with Cat Gatekeeper or ZOKUZOKU, and does not use their assets.
