Sanity

Free Chrome extension

LinkedIn for the job.
Then it locks you out.

Sanity asks why you’re there, runs a timer you set, and locks the tab when the minutes are up. Built for people who need LinkedIn for GTM and can’t afford the feed.

How it works

Name the job. Set a clock. Leave.

  1. It asks before LinkedIn loads

    Pick an intent — message, post, research, inbox, notifications, or scroll & comment, then 5 to 25 minutes.

  2. Work with a live timer

    LinkedIn opens normally. The countdown runs on the Chrome badge and in the popup. Close the tab early and it logs how long you stayed.

  3. Time’s up, it locks

    A soft bell, then a lock screen. One quote if you want it. Then the tab closes.

Product

Contain LinkedIn without quitting it.

Intent first

Six reasons to open LinkedIn. Scroll & comment is marked as the slippery one.

Your clock

Sessions from 5 to 25 minutes. Countdown on the badge and in the popup.

Hard lock

When time’s up, a soft bell rings and LinkedIn stays locked until you leave.

Daily budget

Cap minutes and sessions. Limits reset each local day.

Break glass

Pause Sanity for one hour when you really need it.

Visit log
