Lugn - The distraction blocker that's actually on your side
Most distraction blockers treat you like a criminal. They lock you out. They shame you. They charge you monthly to feel restricted. There's a better way.
Introducing Lugn. Lugn (Scandinavian for "calm") is a privacy-first browser extension that helps you build real focus habits - without the guilt. No hard locks. No punishment. Just a simple, mindful nudge: "Are you sure you want to visit this site?" Yes or no - your choice. Always.

How it works
- Block distracting sites - Add any site to your blacklist in seconds.
- Get nudged, not locked out - Visiting a blocked site shows a calm redirect page - not a wall.
- Build your Discipline Score - Every choice you make is tracked locally. Your score reflects your real habits over time.
- Climb the leaderboard (Premium) - Opt into the public leaderboard and compete with others building better focus habits.
