HARD MODE (Premium)
This is what sets FocusShield apart. When enabled, you can't simply click "unblock" — you have to correctly solve 3 randomly selected math and trivia problems first. It's designed to interrupt the impulse: by the time you've finished, the urge usually fades.

CUSTOM SCHEDULES (Premium)
Need flexibility? Set exactly which days and times blocking is active for each site. Outside your schedule, sites load normally — perfect if you only want restrictions during work or study hours.

PRIVACY
FocusShield does not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data. Your blocked sites list, settings, and stats are stored entirely on your device using Chrome's built-in storage. The only external call is to verify your Premium license key with Gumroad — and only when you enter one.
No analytics. No tracking. No ads. Ever.

PREMIUM LICENSING
Premium is managed through Gumroad. After purchase, you receive a license key by email. Enter it in the Account tab to unlock features instantly. Monthly/yearly plans can be cancelled anytime from your Gumroad dashboard. Lifetime is a one-time purchase with no recurring charges.
