# Monitoring Extension

> WXT-based browser extension for desktop distraction blocking.

# 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](https://wxt.dev/) 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.

## Why WXT?

WXT is a next-generation framework for building cross-browser extensions. It provides:

* Vite-powered hot module replacement (HMR) during development.
* Out-of-the-box support for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.
* First-class TypeScript and React support.
