This wiki is a user guide on how to use the Monkai browser extension

The Basics

🐵Start Monkai Bar and Monkai Chat

We recommend you pin the extension upon installation and use the Monkai New Tab Page for a better user experience.

🍫Monkai Bar

Click the extension icon or press **Command+K** or ⌘+K (on mac OS) or **Alt+K** (on Windows) to start the Monkai bar.

Depending on the page in your browser, the bar might appear in the middle of the page or at the top right.

💬Monkai Chat

You can click open the Monkai Chat at the bottom left of a page or within the Monkai Bar

⚙Configure Different Modes and Rules

Type Monkai Settings ******into Monkai Bar or go to the extension options page

You will see 2 different modes 🎯Focus and 🙂Normal. You can configure individual rules for different rules.

Rules in 🎯Focus Mode only become active when you initiate a Pomodoro/focus session (e.g. type Start Pomodoro in Monkai Bar or Monkai Chat)

Rules in Normal Mode are active regularly in both a Pomodoro/focus session. They will be deactivated when you are taking a break (e.g. type Start Break in Monkai Bar or Monkai Chat)

🙊When you are blocked...

Once you set up the rules, you will inevitably get blocked from accessing certain sites.

• If Monkai’s block is intended and successful...
  • you can simply close the page
• If Monkai made a one-time mistake...
  • you can simply type “disable” or “allow” to use the site for 5 min
  • you can specify how long you want to disable, e.g. disable for 1hr
• If Monkai consistently makes mistakes on blocking you...
  • You can change the settings by going to the extension settings page
  • You might want to adjust the blocking in different modes and relax the rule by moving it from 🙂Normal Mode to 🎯Focus Mode (only blocks when you are actively trying to focus)
