COVACA DISTRACTION GUARD 2.0

Extract to a folder you will keep. Open chrome://extensions or edge://extensions,
enable Developer mode, choose Load unpacked and select this folder.
Click the extension icon, add your rules and Save limits.

Choose Time tab stays open or Active time per day; at the limit choose Close tab
or Show reminder. Only configured sites and subdomains are covered. Zero minutes
applies immediately. Pinned tabs are protected by default. Closing can discard
unsaved work. Pause guard and press Ctrl+Shift+T to restore a closed tab.

Open time: per tab, includes background/sleep; resets when leaving the domain,
pausing guard or restarting browser. Active daily time: only foreground use;
idle/unfocused time pauses and local midnight resets the allowance. Enforcement
checks occur about every 30 seconds, subject to browser suspension/throttling.

Optional desktop alerts: open Covaca Windows pet preferences, paste your
extension ID from the browser's extensions page, click Connect guard, then use
Test desktop connection here. A running pet is required for announcements only.

Permissions: tabs (match domains and close/redirect chosen tabs), storage
(settings and local totals), idle (pause active tracking), alarms (periodic
checks), nativeMessaging (optional fixed signals to your desktop pet).
No remote code, content scripts, analytics, host access or full URL history.
Rule history keeps only the last 20 affected domains, action and time.

The unpacked extension is not published to a browser store. Automated simulated
Chrome-API checks pass; installation and behavior in real Chrome/Edge profiles
still need device testing. See the complete package's TEST-REPORT.md.
