- Extension status: Featured
Boost your productivity by limiting the amount of time you spend on time-wasting websites.
You sit down at the computer, and you swear you'll be productive. Next thing you know, it's twelve hours later. You've checked your email, updated your Facebook status, blown through 200 pages of Reddit, read every article in your Twitter feed, looked up your favorite band on Wikipedia, vanity googled yourself, cyber-stalked your ex, browsed through all your high-school crushes' Instagram feeds, and lost a week's pay playing online poker.
What you haven't done is WORK.
✦ What is StayFocusd?
StayFocusd, by Sensor Tower, is a productivity extension for Google Chrome that helps you stay focused on work by restricting the amount of time you can spend on time-wasting websites. It provides analytics to help you understand and control your internet usage, ensuring you remain productive throughout the day.
⭐ Our Features ⭐
📊 Website usage history: Get statistics of your daily website usage history.
🚫 Configurable blocking: Block entire sites, specific subdomains, specific paths, specific pages, or even in-page content (videos, images, forms, etc).
☢️ The Nuclear Option: This powerful feature allows you to block access to websites for the number of hours you specify on the days you choose. Once activated, it cannot be canceled, ensuring you remain focused and productive.
📱Require Challenge: To change any settings, you must complete a challenging task. This reduces the temptation to alter settings, helping you stick to your productivity goals.
🗓️ Active Days/Hours: Customize the days and hours during which StayFocusd will restrict your access to distracting websites. This ensures that your productivity is maintained during critical work periods.
▶️ In App Blocking for YouTube: Block all distracting components on YouTube. Hide shorts, comments, recommended videos, etc.
🔒 Privacy protection: StayFocusd does not collect personal data from the web pages you visit.
🔗 Sync Usage Limits across devices: Connect Android devices and other browsers to view website and mobile app usage and limits in one place.

PRIVACY NOTICE:
When you install StayFocusd, it will ask you to grant a number of permissions, including “Read and change all your data on the websites you visit.” This permission is required in order for StayFocusd to run on any site which you may visit—without this permission, StayFocusd would not be able to block websites. While this permission technically grants StayFocusd the ability to read and change data, we will never collect personal data from the web page content that you are browsing.

- Blocks nothing. Opens blocked sites left right and center and when I add them to the blocked list it says that i have already done that. So they should be blocked. But I am looking at an openend blocked site now and that one has also overlayed the site i was working on and now i can't get back to that site anymore. This extention is totally useless because this keeps happening.

- When it is working, it is great... but it seems to break every month or two, and it has to be reinstalled. I don't know if it doesn't keep up with Chrome updates or what but it's frustrating to have to reinstall it regularly.

- This extension helps me block Instagram which takes away majority of my productive time. It does have a loophole though, the manage extension in the browser makes it easy to deactivate the extension. So the way to block that is to block the mange extension page with stayfocused and it works!

- This is incredible for me! I often get distracted and start scrolling or texting friends on social media. When I feel the urge to go on, it blocks me. If I try to remove the extension, it takes so long that I usually give up and return to work. The same goes for the annoying paragraph thingy! Overall, this has helped me a lot! JESUS LOVES U ALL!

- I have a long list of website completely blocked. I reached a point where I had to split the list in 2 groups. I have fixed this way. Other Ways the extension didn't lock the new websites. I have also included search querys like "google.com/search?q=.." now i have trimmed these query with ChatGpt and it works perfectly. Thanks if you help or improve the extension.

- This app is great for managing time spent on websites. I love that it allows you to set time limits for specific sites or block them entirely with zero access. I haven't explored all the details yet, but just with these features, the app stands out. Plus, it's completely free, which is a fantastic bonus.

- Genuinely the best app out there for those who don't usually comply to their own limitations. The nuclear option should be on every app like it

- StayFocused is an excellent productivity tool that helps me block distracting websites after a set time duration. The best feature is that once the time limit is reached, I cannot change or extend the duration, which really enforces discipline and helps me stay focused. Highly recommend for anyone looking to improve their productivity without the temptation to cheat on the timer!

- It does not block the apps. You can still enter them. It blocked inside app functions like reels and colors. Stopped collecting app usage time which is basically just lying to yourself about your consumption time. I really dont recommend.
