Moegotchi

Inspiration

We all know the feeling: you sit down to work, open one tab "for a second," and an hour later you're deep in a video that has nothing to do with your assignment. Website blockers don't really fix this. They're dumb: they block YouTube even when you're watching a lecture, and they're easy to ignore. We wanted something that actually understands what you're doing, and that holds you accountable in a way that works for you, because different people respond to different kinds of motivation.

What it does

Moegotchi is a digital sidekick that lives in your browser. You tell it what you're working on, pick your sidekick's personality, and it keeps an eye on your tabs.

It understands context. Powered by the Gemini API, it checks whether the page you're on actually helps with your task. A lecture on the topic is fine, while an unrelated video isn't, even on the same website.
It reacts with personality. Your sidekick's mood changes with what you do. It's happy when you're locked in and gets sad (or annoyed) when you drift.
You choose the kind of push that works on you. Pick a cheerleader that rewards you, a tough-love type that roasts you and warns you before closing distracting tabs, a guilt-tripper, or a deadpan one that's just quietly disappointed. Every reaction is generated live by Gemini, not scripted.
You stay in control. Strict sidekicks give a countdown before closing a tab, with an "I need this tab!" button, and closed tabs can be restored in one click.
