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

- (2025-07-06) 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?
- (2025-06-24) Khuzam Kedgeworth: Does what it says on the tin. Thank ya.
- (2025-06-18) Mosha Hidur: good extaintion for set website limitation
- (2025-06-18) samy squirrel: Beautifull UI, simple to setup. Minamalistic, runs FAST. 10/10
- (2025-06-02) 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
- (2025-05-23) 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
- (2025-05-16) Tércio McNabb: Love this app!
- (2025-05-14) 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.
- (2025-05-01) Mary Ann Oraiz: I love your app! Can you please add a password/pin feature? So that the disable button isn't easily accessible.
- (2025-04-27) 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?
- (2025-04-21) mars: Thank you. I will also make useful apps like you when I become a developer and help humanity to grow. God bless yall
- (2025-04-19) 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
- (2025-04-16) Azeem Akram: Its great for productivity. Now I waste less time on useless reals and scrolling
- (2025-04-15) Anish Nanduri: Best Extension for Education Focus and concentration
- (2025-04-04) srijith chetla: One of the best extensions out there. It really helped me focus on DSA—I owe a lot to the developer.
- (2025-03-26) Ahmed Zineddine: simple yet effective and the best part that it blocks immediately without adding time
- (2025-03-15) 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😁
- (2025-03-15) 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!
- (2025-03-10) 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!)
- (2025-03-04) 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.
- (2025-02-25) Sanjiv Prasath: Very nice and simple
- (2025-02-25) 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??
- (2025-02-23) Простой Парень: I like everything, nothing superfluous.
- (2025-02-20) 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.)
- (2025-02-18) 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!
- (2025-02-12) 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!
- (2025-02-11) Kirubakaran Asokan: Simple and efficient.
- (2025-02-10) 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.
- (2025-02-09) 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.
- (2025-02-09) simp dave: its great, easy to use
- (2025-02-06) Timur Kostenko: Works great!
- (2025-02-05) Yishai Levenberg: Excellent extension, helps focus. Helps stop the first impulse to open some distracting site. Thank you!
- (2025-02-01) Ненад Давидовић: its an gooooooooooooood extension!
- (2025-01-23) Alex Whiskey: Works wonderful, but doesn't count youtube time if it's in PiP mode.
- (2025-01-22) custard_paradox: works
- (2025-01-20) Ernazar Sydykov: Thanks, very useful extension!
- (2025-01-19) James Wolley: This is helping me break the habit of mindless scrolling for hours
- (2025-01-18) Nguyễn Thanh Hoài Anh: A great app for my procastination problems. I wish it was a bit powerful as now I find it relatively simple to just turn off the extension. If only you can make some adjustment like adding a mode where you literally can't turn it off or just set it to "enabled" automatically everytime you open a new window
- (2025-01-16) Phil Vlachou: nothing fancy but all i need
- (2025-01-13) Cave Boy: Very good but would love it If I could set different limits for different time of the day, for example 30 minutes on youtube while I am eating lunch then 30 minutes while eating dinner
- (2025-01-12) Anabella De la Peña: Great extension very simple nevertheless super effective just what i needed
- (2025-01-04) Josef Vítek: All good, very helpful :-)
- (2024-12-30) Kumkum Chakraborty: Incredible honestly! This is my first day using the app, and now I have no choice but to focus and stay productive. THANK YOU SO MUCH AND PEOPLE GO FOR IT!!
- (2024-12-29) Ankita Kushwaha: BEST AND REALLY REALLY USEFUL
- (2024-12-20) Simranjeet Singh Chadha: A much needed medicine for todays problems.
- (2024-12-18) Drake Mossman: Not a silver-bullet, but certainly a helpful tool. Works well. No problems found so far.
- (2024-12-14) Smilee Meshram: Very useful application. I was way more distracted due to social platform and was neglecting my studies. This extension not only limited my screen time but also helped me to follow productive routine.
- (2024-12-13) Hannah Pechon: I love that I can't just disable limits on the blocked webpage screen, like I can with app limits on my phone. I buried the extension button so it's harder to access when I'm procrastinating. Insanely frustrating for my ADHD brain, as it should be. five stars.
- (2024-12-09) Hello World: A REALLY REALLY USEFUL Extension Just If You Could add a minor feature it would be life changing Please add a password lock to enable/disable limit and also to change the timings of the Websites This would take the extension from 100/10 to 10000000000000000/10 Please do it ASAP
- (2024-12-05) Omar Tamer: perfect ,but it would be better if you made it with a pascode , to prevent turnig it off
