About the startup

Stop doomscrolling with calming focus resets, local page intelligence, XP, and mindful browsing for YouTube Shorts and social media. Lucid — Stop Doomscrolling & Stay Focused Stop doomscrolling, reduce distractions, and build better focus habits with calming reset overlays, goals, XP, and mindful browsing tools. Lucid is a focus and productivity extension built for people who are tired of opening YouTube, Reddit, Instagram, or another site for "just a minute" and suddenly realizing an hour has disappeared. Instead of aggressively blocking websites or punishing you for getting distracted, Lucid creates a brief moment of awareness before you continue. When it notices a pattern of distraction, it opens a calming reset space that helps you pause, check in with yourself, and decide what you actually want to do next. Maybe that means taking a quick stretch, drinking water, writing down what you should be working on, or simply leaving the site. The goal isn't to force you off the internet. The goal is to help you make a conscious choice instead of running on autopilot. Lucid includes focus goals, activity-aware XP, streaks, momentum tracking, unlockable rewards, themes, sounds, and personalized reset experiences. As you build better habits, you unlock new ways to customize your environment and make focus feel more rewarding. The extension can recognize different types of websites, including productive, educational, mixed-use, and highly distracting pages. That context helps Lucid show the right kind of interruption at the right time without getting in your way when you're actually trying to get work done. Lucid is useful for students, developers, creators, remote workers, and anyone trying to be more intentional with their time online. Whether you're studying, coding, researching, writing, or simply trying to cut back on endless scrolling, Lucid is designed to help you stay aware of where your attention is going. Your settings, streaks, XP, goals, and preferences are stored locally in your browser. Lucid's core focus features work without requiring exposed AI API keys, and the extension is designed with privacy in mind. The internet is built to compete for your attention. Lucid helps you take some of it back.
