The main page of LIT extension. It contains the Start/Pause button, Reset Time button, Add time button, Settings button and the Parent Mode switch

That part of LIT extension where you can change your Password, time settings, block settings, overlay texts, give feedback or report bugs. To open the Setting page, click on the Settings button (shown in red circle on the picture below)

Counter on the Popup which shows how much time you still have for browsing. When the Timer reaches zero, browsing will be completely blocked by showing an Overlay in the browser. You can add more time by clicking on the Reset Button, clicking on the Add time button or enabling Parent Mode for unlimited browsing.

We call the amount of time you will see after each reset (or first time use) Initial time. You can set it under Settings > Time > Time in Minutes. When you press the Reset Time button your Timer will be set to this.

The amount of time you will get after clicking the Add time button or approving a finished task. (The latter available only in Pro Tier). You can set it under Settings > Time > Time in Minutes. Every time you press the AddTime button your Timer will be updated with the amount you enter as Extra Time.

The little switch at the bottom right corner of the Popup is called the Parent Mode switch. By enabling it you can browse unresctricted (even blocked sites) for unlimited time. However you will need the Password to enable it.

When the time is up, timer is pasued, or a blocked page is opened the browser shows a blurry cover with text on it. This is called the Overlay. The overlay always shows on Blocked pages even when the Timer is still running. When you are on an allowed page the overlay only shown when the Timer is stopped or the time us up. In Parent Mode the Overlay is never shown, you can browse freely for an unlimited time even the blocked pages.

On the first install a Password is required to be set. It is for protecting your settings and approving actions like Add time, Reset time or turning on Parent Mode. We are committed to protect your privacy so we do not store any of your data, not even your Password. If you forgot your Password, you can reset it by clicking "Forgot password?" button and entering your recovery key. If you forgot your recovery key you can reset your password by reinstalling LIT.

On the first install after you enter a Password a Recovery Key will be shown. This is needed in case you forgot your Password. Please store it somewhere safe. We are committed to protect your privacy so we do not store any of your data, not even your Recovery Key. If you forgot your recovery key you can reset your password by reinstalling LIT.

The action of preventing user to access certain pages called Blocking. By default nothing is blocked in LIT.  You can add individual sites, add specific words in URLs or use the Presets.

For more convenient blocking we collected the most common sites of three categories: Adult sites, Video sites and Social Media sites. By checking a preset the most visited few sites of each category will be blocked. However our list may not contain the site you want to block and it remains visible for you. In this case please add the site specifically to the Blocked Sites list.

You can block individual sites under Settings > Blocking >  Block Sites by entering them into the textarea. Please add one site per line. 

You can block specific words in the URL under Settings > Blocking >  Block Words by entering them into the textarea. Please note that this won't block sites in that specific category, it will check only the URL for presence of the provided words. For example you enter "news" into the Blocked Words list, then https://www.nbcnews.com/ will be blocked since it has the word, but https://www.bbc.com/ won't be blocked because it does not have the word "news" in the URL. Please add one word per line. 

Overlay at the moment has 3 different text field where you can add text: Title, Text and a Hint. Title is the top element, text is the middle and Hint is the bottom one. In order to change the texts go to Settings > Overlay and change the required field.

We would love to hear from you! You can give us feedback about LIT anytime under Settings > Feedback > Feedback. We appreciate every input so we can be better for you.

Found something not working properly? It is called a Bug. You can report bugs so we can fix them under Setting > Feedback > Report a Bug. We greatly appreciate if you take your time to show us if something is not right.

The LIT team working tirelessly to add more features. We will add soon a Pro Tier where you can add a list of Tasks into your todo list.

When you click on a task once the task became scratched out and you can approve it to get the rewarded time by clicking the Approve Button. You can approve multiple tasks at once. 

You can change a task by double clicking on it. Deleting task is done by double clicking and deleting all the text.

You can add recurring tasks by clicking the Add Recurring Task button on the Popup. Every task gives you extra browsing time which is set under Settings > Time > Extra Time. 

The main difference between one time and recurring task is that recurring task won't disappear after approval. This is perfect for repeating tasks (e.g. "read 5 pages")
