Monitoring Extension (packages/monitoring-extension)

CommitT is primarily a mobile application, but true accountability requires cross-device enforcement. The Monitoring Extension is a browser plugin built with WXT that acts as the desktop enforcer.

​
Capabilities

  1. Site Blocking: Pulls the active digital_commitment target blocklists from the Convex backend and uses the chrome.webRequest API to instantly block access to forbidden URLs (e.g., YouTube, Reddit).
  2. Verification Reporting: Can report active tab usage back to the Convex backend to prove the user is actively working on a required website during a study session.
  3. Tamper Resistance: Designed to be difficult to uninstall during an active Strict Mode session.

​
