Description from store
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 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.

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.
This extension is maintained by Sensor Tower.
Latest reviews
- (2024-10-02) Christopher Allen: Until recently I would have described this extension as useful but is too easy to bypass to be truly effective, and the new owner's plans to collect our web-usage data as concerning to say the least—but today I ran into a show-stopping issue that resulted in the extension blocking all non-allowlisted URLs, including the new tab page, chrome://settings/ and chrome://extensions/. I'm aware of the nuclear option but would prefer to have to opt-in to being nuked, rather than finding my browser randomly rendered unusable.
- (2024-09-19) Gavrilo Zdravković: Unfortunately, this app is totally broken now, it used to be the best for blocking distracting websites and I used it for years.
- (2024-09-18) Danny Nguyen: I like nuclear option, it is strong enough to deal with my inner demons. It would be great if you can add Facebook (block reels, story and feed) to the in-app blocking function. Thanks for the great work to the world.
- (2024-08-22) Matthew Meier: No longer works, you can just go to the advanced options and allow any site that you want.
- (2024-08-04) Owen Davis: (Update August 2024). New update makes Google Chrome run incredibly slowly. Something is bugging out. StayFocusd now makes opening a new tab take several seconds and switching between tabs can be laggy. I'm 100% certain that it's StayFocusd which is to blame. Too bad!
- (2024-07-26) red stag: new update is not good!
- (2024-07-23) Charlotte Bridgewater: Very helpful, and can be made very difficult to get around but still possible. Occasionally stops working but usually up again within a few days, or if you deinstall and reinstall it (save your lists of sites though).
- (2024-07-16) Top notch.
- (2024-06-10) Vimal Bellamkonda: Edit 6/10/24: Unfortunately, whenever I try to visit the app extension page, I'm hit with a pop-up add for their Desktop app. The pop-up won't close, even after hitting "Maybe Later" or "Try it out." This app is completely unusable now. Really sucks because it was incredible before. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Previous review: Whoever developed this is a godsend and has probably indirectly contributed a staggering amount to the collective sum of human productivity.
- (2024-05-29) Hamana Hamana: (Update 5/17/24) Get rid of the toggle. Please. (Update 5/28/24) They fixed it; it's the best site blocking extension there is. Best used in conjunction with others.
- (2024-05-15) Archit Mishra: What made you put the Active/Inactive toggle as a feature, it defeats the whole purpose of nuclear mode & challenge. Please either get it removed or give an option in settings to disable it...
- (2024-04-17) Joakim: I like the concept, but the adjustment of settings is way to strict when trying it out and setting it up. Especially when I ran out of time and realized that I needed to allow YouTube Music to not have it blocked a long with YouTube.
- (2024-03-17) Shikhar Rawat: Great Extension. Helps to increase productivity.
- (2024-03-14) Jacob Kanev: This is brilliant. I wish there weren't any websites optimised to harvest our time and attention and thus we wouldn't need this extension. But there are, so we do.
- (2024-03-13) Maya Farkas: Good extension. Nuke function is amazing. I find it a pity though you can't pause the nuke function. Nor is it possible to really use sessions to study with preprogrammed pauses and then nuke function again.
- (2024-03-12) Erik Pintar: So helpful.

- (2024-02-19) משה וולפסון: אחלה תוסף ממליץ בחום. עוזר לי להימנע משוטטות מיותרת באינטרנט
- (2024-02-19) Stra: Gut wäre zusätzlich, wenn ich mehrere Fenster im Laufe des Tages freihalten könnte (z.B. während der Mittagspause, oder eine Heimfahrt etc.)
- (2024-02-18) Nick G: very helpful. Not only useful for when you're trying to focus on important tasks, but also creates a habit of not dwelling on apps that you have a short daily timer set for. Helps create a sustainable usage pattern for websites I used to get lost in for hours.
- (2024-02-18) Crystal: I. LOVE. IT. It has really helped me become much more productive, and it actually works and is for FREEEEEE. Took me a while to figure things out, but once I got the hang of it---my life literally turned around.
- (2024-02-16) Zoni: Predobro, dosta pomaze oko fokusiranja

- (2024-02-01) luli luli: Es muy buena la verdad, es lo único que necesitas para afianzar tu productividad y llevarla a otro nivel.
- (2024-02-01) Adeel Ahmad: It blocks all the phishing and spam adware website which can be dangerous without SayFocusd.
- (2024-01-30) Priyam Gosaliya: The nuclear feature is the best. It will not let you open your website till the nuke is on. Really helpful.
