Sanctum
Pause before YouTube pulls you into another loop
What this is
A Chrome extension that adds gentle pauses before impulsive YouTube clicks, Shorts loops, and recommendations, as an alternative to fully blocking the site.
Our one-line summary — not the founder’s tagline.
- How it works
- instead of blocking content outright, it inserts calmer thumbnails, intention prompts, and mindful breaks to interrupt impulsive browsing

Where it shows up
Every group here is a page of its own — each one checked daily.
The numbersIs it still shipping, is it overpriced, where did it land — and what the price is built from.
League price & chart
No money. No seat. It goes on your record — and in 28 days reality settles it.
Calls are closed while we rebuild accounts. You can still read every one of them.
Productivity. Launched 11d ago on Product Hunt, picking up 3 votes. Today, it's live, but nothing on the site has changed since we started watching.
Quiet for 3 days — no penalty yet, but quiet doesn't stay free.
We check this site every day, ourselves. A founder can post “still working on it” — a claim like that doesn't price. What we price is what we can verify from the outside: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
The market viewHow this launch is priced and ranked in our league — the investor side of the page.
ranked by the reality anchor, not the market price
It launched on Product Hunt with 3 votes. It also showed up on 1 other board — but didn't place well enough on any of them, so none of them add to the price. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
A launch that goes quiet eases down a little at a time — never a cliff you could have run from the night before.
Daily tracking just started for this launch — the first point is on the board. A second reading lands with tomorrow's run, and the curve builds from there.
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day — the crowd's attention.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.
About
Sanctum is a Chrome extension for people who want to use YouTube more intentionally. Instead of completely blocking content, it adds gentle pauses before impulsive clicks, Shorts loops, and endless recommendations. Features such as calmer thumbnails, intention prompts, mindful breaks, and flow reflections help you notice where your attention is going and choose what to do next. Sanctum is not about control—it is about restoring a moment of choice.
Where it launched
2 platformsThe board it did best on sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also placed high on that board too — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
