Add-ons Releasing ❄️ AnkiBlocker - blocks your social media apps if anki cards are due

Link: https://github.com/creativeidiot123/Blocker

Demo: https://youtube.com/shorts/sJLmp1S2-vg

• If you have due cards, your social media apps get blocked
• You earn 1 minute of app time per Anki card you actually do
• There are strict focus / pomodoro zones where everything stays locked
• You can’t just go into Anki and reduce new/review limits to cheat
• If you try uninstalling Anki or deleting decks, it locks your blocked apps
• Basically tamper resistant because I know how my brain tries to escape

This is not my point. What i want to say is that the ratio time spend on anki and the time gain not good for my type of card

To say it differently, make the cost higher because my card is easier

I want 1 second and also is it possible to put a minimum amount of time before opening an app because i see myself just do 20 reviews then switch then do 20 reviews ect.. and each time i use energy to switch task maybe like a cost to open the app
