Limit your time spent on distracting sites. Limit is an extension that allows you to set time limits for distracting websites.
When you control your time on distracting websites, you’ll find you have far more time to focus on the things that matter most.
To use Limit, simply enter the websites you find distracting and choose a daily time limit. For example, you could limit yourself to ten minutes a day on Facebook, or half an hour a day on Duolingo.
When you approach your limit, Limit gently notifies you your time is almost up, so you can wrap up. And when you've reached your limit, you'll be directed to Freedom's calming Green Screen when you try to visit a limited website.
- You can add or delete any website from the list of sites
- Your time limit for each site is configurable, from 5 to 500 minutes
- Limit comes pre-seeded with 10 distracting sites

- (2023-10-29) MALAK HASSAN: simple and efficient thank you.
- (2023-10-23) Pietro Bernardi (pi972): Although the limiting feature is brilliant, it permanently makes the page innaccessible (no, the "back" button doesn't work). Really annoying losing 10 tabs in one go like that and not being able to get them back.
- (2023-10-19) Daniel: Simpel und doch so effektiv. Gefällt mir sehr gut, so wird man schnell darauf aufmerksam, dass man auf manchen Seiten doch eigentlich viel zu viel Zeit verbringt. Mit diesem Add-on kann man sich selbst ein paar sinnvolle Grenzen setzen. Genau danach habe ich gesucht, super!
- (2023-10-15) Simões: Simplesmente sensacional. Ele literalmente pausa o site, me impedindo de continuar a perder meu tempo
- (2023-10-14) Stanley Fleming III: Trying to expand my use of the App and it seems this should offer a pin or password option like in "Focus" app. Would be really nice to give the control to someone else to make sure the timers in Limit were honored. Otherwise - Exactly as advertised. Simple. Clean. Helpful. I find myself way more productive with the time limits in place. I would not know how to react if this extension became unavailable.
- (2023-10-13) TRISHANT SAXENA: Excellent thing to keep you focused and productive.
- (2023-10-04) Lakshya Singh: really helpful
- (2023-09-23) Nandakumar sri: Superb extension love it !! not only block websites but also shows how much time you can see that website. Best app if you want to limit distractions.
- (2023-09-21) Igor Zaparov: Simple, can block sites forever, not only for some period of time
- (2023-09-14) Alon Galperin: Very simple, working perfectly

- (2023-08-26) Nixon _: Please add me a password locking feature
- (2023-08-26) thejus kk: been searching for this so long. actually helps with distraction. thank you so much to the developers.
- (2023-08-22) Kathryn Caine: Works exactly as I needed it too. I love that it keeps track of the minutes even when you close out of the page then come back later in the day. It also has a little countdown clock in the corner so that you can see how much time you have left. I wasn't sure if it would just ring a timer when the time was up but it actually blocked the page.
- (2023-08-21) Felipe Vega: This is my first time writing a review for anything and I have to say that im truly grateful for this extension. Works exactly as intended. Would give it 10 stars if I could.
- (2023-08-15) Jia Jin Lew: Setting your own limit to distracting websites is extremely useful when you have serious pending work,, great to set as reminder before accessing the specific websites
- (2023-08-14) Jay Tripathi: AMAING EVERY ONE USE JUST ADD A ADD 5 MIN OPTION FOR ANY IMPORTENT WORK SO I CAN;T GO DIACTLY APP
- (2023-08-11) Parth: This extension is extremely useful, really helpful to limit my time wasted
- (2023-08-06) Brahmani K: Awsome extension ever! This really helps me focus on my studies
- (2023-08-03) Alexander Sverdlov: not having a separate children section to control children's devices and habits is a miss. Great overall, even the free version, but I got the premium one.
- (2023-08-02) Ahmad Harb: Great extension, which this functionality was built into freedom itself as well since there is no locked mode for this.
- (2023-07-31) Apple Juice: This extension is absolutely amazing. It's so helpful when it comes to productivity.
- (2023-07-30) Łukasz Szczygielski: Simple and useful.
- (2023-07-30) Nishikanth Vellore: Just simple and elegant
- (2023-07-27) jean-philippe Favre: Well i just want to say a BIG thank you. It is quite amazing to see how we can quickly "loose" time by watching youtube video, checking your email etc... Freedom is really helping me to get more focus and more concentrate on my daily tasks. Combine this with the great APP that they developed and you good to go for SUCCEES. thanks guys for such a great initiative. JP
- (2023-07-15) Aparna P: Saves me a lot of time daily!
- (2023-07-10) its eye: thx man cant tell how much this helps
- (2023-07-04) Amida Cumming: Love the idea and the simplicity, but like others I've found that the timer simply stops working - for me it was after a couple of days. Even when I have spent well beyond the allotted time on the active tab, the timer doesn't change. I've seen the suggestions to remove and reinstall etc, and I look forward to seeing this problem resolved, but unfortunately an extension that I have to troubleshoot is not so great for my focus!
- (2023-06-29) Hima Gamal: I love how simple and on-point this extension is, and I really love the show timer feature and the custom time option for each website especially the zero option 👍👍
- (2023-06-26) Gia Bảo Lê Vũ: Simple, easy to use, do exactly what it need to do, no more no less. This app help me a lots in keeping me focus from distracting websites.
- (2023-06-25) David Greekas: Simple to use and does what is needed. While you can go back and change the time fairly easily it does what I need it to do and that is remind me to spend less time on specific sites or block them on specific computers. Really good for stopping habits where you just happen to pop open another window to "check the site" all the time.
- (2023-06-12) Patty Thomas: Great simple extension that helps me focus on work by blocking distractions.
- (2023-06-11) Livingston Zug: It's fantastic! Simple but very helpful.
- (2023-06-09) Gabri Holdsworth: It helped me focused, and made me be able to get my work done! Thanks!
- (2023-06-08) Empirical Alpha: No good if you have a duel screen. The counter seems to count down based on the Chrome tab being the active or focus window. So if you have youtube up but say reading the news on a second monitor the counter doesn't go down on the video even when its playing. Needs more thought put into the design. Should be based on if the tab is visible on the screen (if that is possible with Chrome).
- (2023-06-07) Anne Von Gerstedt: So far so good. I set all times to 0 so I can only watch Movies etc. on the TV. This way I only work on my laptop.
- (2023-06-01) Kirsten Rosselot: Limit used to work but now it doesn't count down when I'm visiting a website that is only supposed to allow me 30 minutes. The little popup timer gives me 30 more minutes no matter how long I spend on the site. It's been this way for a while and there is no way to get help.
- (2023-05-26) J.J. Käthe: Worked great for a few days then stopped working - the time remaining never went down (Would stay at the limit I'd set e.g. 10 min). Tried messing with settings but couldn't resolve the issue.
- (2023-05-23) Connor Norris: Very easy-to-use minimalist website Tracker/Limiter, Best one I've used yet.
- (2023-05-18) Dolores Campbell: GREAT PRODUCTIVITY APP I am so easily distracted by various websites. I also procrastinate by playing games. This app is easy to use. It has a lot of preset limits for things like FB all of which are changeable. You can type in your own websites and set a limit on them. You can easily disable the limit if you need more time. It's an easy to use app that does what it says
- (2023-05-14) Avanish Pati Tripathi: It does what it says, will recommend it 100%
- (2023-05-06) Yen Phan: Luckily I found this extension. Thank you for making this. Helping to focus on myself, doing things more productively. If you have a feature, where we can write our own message when we reach the limit, would be nice. Thank you, Thank you and Thank you. I hope you will develop more useful app like this
- (2023-05-04) Đỗ Hoàng Sơn: Really useful extension especially for perennial procrastinator like me. Thanks the freedom team for this amazing work
- (2023-04-30) Ada Lovelace: Works as advertised! Fairly customisable for a free extension, nice calming screen when a website's time runs out. All good! Now is the question of whether I can stick with it...
