Description from store
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
Limit is a product of Freedom Labs, where we develop new tools to help you balance your relationship with technology. Like our other extensions, Limit is highly privacy-conscious. None of your data is sent anywhere (the cloud, our servers, etc.) It remains secure on your own device. Learn more about Freedom here: https://freedom.to
We hope you find Limit to be a simple and useful tool for developing healthier online habits and routines.

- A great little extension to stop you from getting carried away and distracted on addictive websites. I have a habit of messing about on YouTube when I am supposed to be working. As you can see, I clearly have absolutely no sense of self-control, so this extension stops me from wasting time and gets me back on track with my work projects. :) Well done to the developers.

- It does what it says. Helps stop habitual use of distracting sites.

- Works, but doesn't work. Overriding it is as simple as clicking "Disable Limit". You should be able to set a strong password or a cooldown time where there is no way of deactivating it. If you create a product, you must understand why people would adopt it, what's the reason behind it, what they are looking for. The reason is not being able to control ourselves over distracting content. And if we are not able to control ourselves, putting it so easy to bypass it, makes the whole thing useless. We need a wall we can set when we are thinking straight, make a decision and set that defense so that when we are weak we cannot fall into that pit. But if when we get the cravings it's super easy to continue consuming silly content, then we will. The whole point is to set barriers for that time when your will is not that strong and not being able to go through.

- Shubham Khajuria
- Simple and great
- SIDDHARTH

- nice ap
- Kisara Wethmin
- That feature showing the remaining time on the corner of the web page is awesome. If you can change the design of that box. Give it a modern look and make it look well squared. And change the color so that our eyes are always drawn to it. I think the best thing is to release some theme packs or give users the chance to change some small things like colors and fonts. At the end, this is very useful. THANK YOU. ❤

- It is better to get a password before freedom, so that the person only enters that password when necessary and uses the site again for a limited time. This prevents the person from being tempted. Of course, it should be added optionally during an update. Thanks
- Pedro Contipelli
- I would love if after disabling it, I could return to the page I was on. Can be frustrating when I want to finish up reading something!
- alvi mahmud
- it is very bad man. It dont allow me use my fav website after crossing the limit. It holds me tight. it is bad, right?
- Khuzam Kedgeworth
- Does what it says on the tin. Thank ya.
- Mosha Hidur
- good extaintion for set website limitation
- samy squirrel
- Beautifull UI, simple to setup. Minamalistic, runs FAST. 10/10
- V B
- the timer window obstructs the view and cannot be moved to top-left/bottom-left/bottom-right and generally doesn't rememeber its position, so every time you start some of the sites - you have to manually remove the window which resets on refresh
- lily Bosshart
- Came out of nowhere without even installation, and impossible to use. It tells you you can "get freedom" to use the website again, only for it to be impossible to unrestrict anything. I wish I could rate this a 0/5 stars
- Tércio McNabb
- Love this app!
- Andrew Sweet
- It's a really good, simple help. It will not pick up on the difference between bbc.co.uk and news.bbc.co.uk so some sites you might need to enter more than once. But it is ultimately helping me to improve my focus, and I like that it's not sending any data off the computer.
- Mary Ann Oraiz
- I love your app! Can you please add a password/pin feature? So that the disable button isn't easily accessible.
- tom reader
- have enabled a limit on twitter but nothing happens. I can still waste hours. It does not disable after 10 or 25 mins . no matter what limit i set - can you help?
- mars
- Thank you. I will also make useful apps like you when I become a developer and help humanity to grow. God bless yall
- oscar byrne
- Very cool stuff; exactly what I needed. I would like to propose a new feature; whitelist certain domains or subdomains ? I blocked youtube.com, but I still want to listen to music on music.youtube.com. How feasible is that ? Thanks for making this simple, easy and free - and useful. It really works
- Azeem Akram
- Its great for productivity. Now I waste less time on useless reals and scrolling
- Anish Nanduri
- Best Extension for Education Focus and concentration
- srijith chetla
- One of the best extensions out there. It really helped me focus on DSA—I owe a lot to the developer.
- Ahmed Zineddine
- simple yet effective and the best part that it blocks immediately without adding time
- Sam
- Incredibly awesome, i recently checked how much more progress i did since i downloaded this app and apparently i got 124% more done! Thanks to to limit😁
- Mozsi Denis-Alex
- Excellent extension! It has helped me stay focused and reduce time wasted on distracting sites. Easy to use and very effective. Highly recommend!
- Ewan Sweeney
- Good extension but would love if they added a feature to choose which time of day the limit resets. I often scroll Twitter after midnight and would enjoy it if the timer didn't reset until after I go to sleep. (Unless that is a feature which i haven't found!)
- Konstantinos Travlos
- Very simple to use and a good way to boost productivity. I tend to hate read a lot (mostly sites that espouse a politics opposed to my own) and get lost in reading and thinking about what they right. This impacts negatively both my attention to my family and to my work. Limit simply provides an easy way to enforce some discipline. Sorry websites that got revenue from my frequenting you. No more now.
- Sanjiv Prasath
- Very nice and simple
- Martin D
- very unreliable--it only launches on its own less than half the time. there are no longer dashboard controls for time limits on sites but it still cuts you off from youtube even though you never set a limit. the icons that used to take you to the site keep offering to install again even tho it's already installed. i'm guessing they fired all the coders??
- Простой Парень
- I like everything, nothing superfluous.
- P. M.
- I love this program. It's simple to use. You can tell it specific websites and how many minutes each. It's wonderful. We all know how easy it is to go down the rabbit hole of news or Facebook or whatever on the Internet. This is like your friend tapping you on the shoulder. And I like that you can have the "time clock" open on the website if you like (which I do) so you know if you only have 5 minutes left. (Of course you can change the minutes anytime, so you have that extra freedom if desired.)
- Kelly Van Valkenburg
- I both love and hate this extension. I love that it prevents me from wasting a lot of time on sites unrelated to the work I need to do, but hate that it works as well as it does. It helps to keep me on track and that's the important part of this extension. Would recommend to anyone!
- Atul Varadhachary
- I was sceptical about this but it works a treat. I have it on both the browsers I use regularly, mainly to block news sites. Has saved me time and improved my mental health by limiting news consumption, especially recently!
- Kirubakaran Asokan
- Simple and efficient.
- Nuke Me
- Good extension, but it doesn't differentiate between the links, youtube.com and youtube.com/shorts. I want to use youtube but not want to waste my time on shorts. Hence this extension isn't useful for me.
- abinav
- Amazing extension for students like me who can't stop scrolling, really made my screentime go down ,adding greyscale would be nice as I have to use another extension for greyscale. Overall this a recommended extension for students.
