Where to Install the Intention Browser Extension

Updated

Intention is available as a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox. To install it, open getintention.com and use the Add to Chrome button on the page; the same page notes it is "Also available on Firefox." The reviews quoted on the site come from the Chrome Web Store.

Install on Chrome

  1. Go to getintention.com.
  2. Select Add to Chrome. This is the primary install button shown on the site.
  3. Confirm the installation in your browser when prompted.

Expected result: Intention is added to Chrome and can begin intervening when you visit distracting sites.

Install on Firefox

The site states that Intention is "Also available on Firefox," but it does not describe a separate Firefox install flow. If the Chrome button does not apply to your browser, look for the Firefox option or listing referenced from the same page.

What Happens After Installing

Once active, Intention works in three steps described on the site:

  1. Stop before you start — when you visit a distracting site, Intention intervenes so you have a chance to change your mind.
  2. Set a time limit — to continue, you tell Intention how long you want to unlock distracting sites.
  3. Reclaim your focus — when the time limit runs out, Intention pauses your browsing again.

The extension also supports a daily limit across all distracting sites, a streak that grows for each day you stay under your limit, and a customizable schedule for the days and times you want to stay focused.

Common Questions

Is there a mobile app? The site only describes browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox; no mobile app is mentioned.

Does it cost anything? The site does not list pricing or payment details, so cost and any account requirements are not confirmed here.

Where do the reviews come from? The testimonials on the page are labeled as reviews from the Chrome Web Store.
