  "textContent": "Most distraction blockers treat you like a criminal.\n\nThey lock you out. They shame you. They charge you monthly to feel restricted.\n\n**There's a better way.**\n\n##  Introducing Lugn\n\n**Lugn** (Scandinavian for \"calm\") is a privacy-first browser extension that helps you build real focus habits - without the guilt.\n\nNo hard locks.

Always.\n\n##  Why Lugn is different\n\n| Lugn | Cold Turkey | Freedom\n---|---|---|---\nSoft blocking | ✅ | ❌ | ❌\nDiscipline Score | ✅ | ❌ | ❌\nPublic leaderboard | ✅ | ❌ | ❌\n100% local free tier | ✅ | ❌ | ❌\nPrivacy-first | ✅ | ⚠️ | ⚠️\n\n##  How it works\n\n**1. Block distracting sites**\nAdd any site to your blacklist in seconds.\n\n**2. Get nudged, not locked out**\nVisiting a blocked site shows a calm redirect page - not a wall.\n\n**3. Build your Discipline Score**\nEvery choice you make is tracked locally. Your score reflects your real habits over time.\n\n**4. Climb the leaderboard** _(Premium)_\nOpt into the public leaderboard and compete with others building better focus habits.\n\n##  Free vs Premium\n\n**Free - forever:**\n\n  * Site blacklist\n  * Soft-block redirect\n  * Discipline Score\n  * Full local stats — zero accounts, zero tracking\n\n\n\n**Premium:**\n\n  * Cloud sync across devices\n  * Detailed graphs and analytics\n  * Custom blocked page\n  * Public leaderboard\n\n\n\n##  Privacy is not an afterthought\n\nThe free tier runs entirely on your device.

Ever.\n\nPremium sync is opt-in, encrypted, and you can delete your data anytime.\n\n##  Coming soon to Chrome & Firefox\n\nLugn is currently in development.
