StayFocusd – Website Blocker & Focus Timer & Shorts Blocker

Best extension for improving productivity and building a discipline.

This extension is absolutely fantastic. It is free, and it does the job well. I love all the options and levels of blocking you can set up for yourself. Would highly recommend to anyone who is having trouble getting stuff done when sitting at a computer.

This is really helping me focus and not get distracted.

i like it and the goofy messages

Totally! It really boosted my productivity and helped me stop getting sidetracked by those distracting apps.t about opening the distracting apps

the point of a blocker is to BLOCK WEBSITES. what the hell do you mean I can't set the allowed time limit to zero? it should NOT BE THIS COMPLICATED.

Wish I had impulse control but I don't, so this is perfect. And the messages in it make it feel encouraging and fun rather than a stern parent or cold robot telling you 'no'. It's not much but it really affects how this feels for me and that means the world to not feel shamed for using the blocker.

easy set up

just perfect for being productive ,can't imagine my studies without it.👌

I love the little comments it says when you try to de-activate it or add more time. Amazing touch!

Stay Focused is a really helpful extension. It blocks distracting websites and has helped me use my time more productively. Simple and effective tool for anyone who wants to stay focused. I give 10/10. excellent

Glitches a lot and blocks sites that have absolutely nothing to do with ones I block, please fix.

you're annoying but i love you

StayFocusd has really helped me cut down distractions and stay productive online. It’s strict but exactly what I need to control my browsing habits.

StayFocusd is a game-changer! This extension has honestly helped me a lot. My favorite part is the funny little notifications that pop up with phrases like “I’ll tell your mom” 😂 — they make me laugh but also remind me to stay on track. Surprisingly effective! The in-app blocking feature is a total bomb. It makes sure I only watch my study videos on YouTube instead of getting lost in Shorts or random content. As someone with ADHD, I can say this extension has made a huge difference in my focus and productivity.Big thanks to the creator — seriously, you’ve built something that’s not just useful but also fun. If the blocking accuracy improves even more, this tool will shine brighter and brighter.A very convenient, ADHD-friendly extension that I’d highly recommend to anyone (especially fellow neurodivergent folks like me)! 🙌

This extension would be perfect if it actually worked most of the time. On the extension, you can have only a certain amount of time allowed on a website right? Perfect, but when it hits 0:00, almost all of the time, the website just starts blocking every website you go on, even if you put the websites in the "white list" section. I guess it becomes confused and just starts blocking everything. This instance of it becoming, "confused" constantly happens for me, and I don't know why. Most people don't mention it, so it might just be a thing that only happens to me, but because of this, I can't give it more than two stars.

Comments are a 10/10 did all my work

coolest and the actual one

Keeps you on track and is HILARIOUS when you try to add more time. 10/10 did lots of work.

My favorite part about this extension is the In App Blocking feature, especially on YouTube. Kudos to the creators for making such a well thought out tool! Aside from that I do have one suggestion, maybe add an option to block the scrolling part on the Shorts, since sometimes there are some educational videos that we really need to watch, and I ended up having to off the Hide shorts feature.

ok

Works very well.

Saves me a headache with work and juxaposition

Very helpful extension helped me a lot to cut off distraction.

This app has helped me to avoid spending too much time browsing the web in order to focus more on getting needed things done.

Much needed extension for all, amazing product.

Does what it says it do, love it !!!

by updating do you mean deleting the extension and keeping it again? Also i love the extension it helps me so much with procrastination and productivity. also the little pop ups that come whenever you try to increase time on websites are so cute

Works well. A bit too well. It's annoying (in a good way). And free. It anticipates that you will try and work your way around the limits you have set and gives you a way to prevent yourself from doing that. Only reason I haven't given it five stars is because the StayFree companion app (a separate mobile app meant to sync with StayFocusd) doesn't have as many features on mobile. It is easy to sync devices to the same account, but it is too easy to disable limits set on your phone compared to on desktop.

Isn't working - after time left is at 00:00:00 (i.e. no time remaining) I can still access the site - it's not blocked at all and I get no indication that it is blocked.

The best, the best, the best

I like it however when I am studying and going to a page that I have to, it blocks it ( I blocked all games and sport scores and Youtube). It worked wonders, but it was inconvenient for that 1% of time.

Good

Not a good app. It creates an illusion of a virus, and even blocks New Tab. I was fiddling with this and had to spend 1 hour to find the allowed site list. And plus when I want to disable it, it says "cancel to make the magic happen", I pressed the "ok" button to disable it, but it directs me back to the first popup, hence it looks like a virus. Do not use this.

this is an awesome extension that I definitely will be using for a long time.

It helps me a lot with procrastination

EVERYTHING I COULD EVER WANT IN THIS TYPE OF EXTENSION!! Time limits on apps? Check. Separate groups you can toggle on and off? Check. A way to unblock sites in case of emergency that's also really annoying and will make you rethink if you just want to procrastinate? Check. A nuke button that makes it IMPOSSIBLE to goof off? Check. This extension is INCREDIBLE!! For total distraction annihilation, get an incognito blocker or enable this extension on incognito and sync with mobile (or use a mobile app like opal). AND FINALLY IT'S ALL FREE!! As a broke engineering student, I've struggled with distraction management for ages and this is the first one that has actively met all my needs. Plus, there's a sync with browser theme mode lol.

Its a very great extension for focusing, However Me Personally pefer watch soe youtbe videos on background while im coding, and dont forget the times i saved myself by a little help of ai, its a great extension but sometimes i had disable it to acces chatgtp for help lol, anotherlise its a good extension

Just amazing. The amount of work put in. The attention to detail. The 79 alerts thrown before extending time are hilarious. Greatly appreciated!

it a good extension for students. its helps us to focused in study.

NICE APP

forcing the extension to only work when accept the their tracking analytics, lol

Best focus app there is. Exceeds expecations set by Screen Zen which in my opinion is the best for phone.

The best and the most GOAT is the nuke em option

Feature-rich and free

Bugy, the team even released broken version

This extension lets me set active hours, and then completely ignores them and blocks the website(s) forever. When you delete it while active, the site still stays blocked...horrible BS

excellent for preventing procrastination and keeps you away from distracting sites easily.

Undoubtedly one of the best site blocking chrome extension. I have tried many apps before only to discard them for various reason: difficult to use, blocking on keywords thus blocking legitimate sites, app not working despite stellar reviews etc. StayFocusd is far far ahead of the pack. It is very comprehensive blocks whole URL(eg subdomain with the domain) and complete sites. Hourly blocking, Allowing only Allowed list, syncing the app with your mobile so bascially its compete suite and caters for vast majority of users. Only concern I have about how secure is my browsing and what I am typing is being recorded and can be used by malicious apps?

I really like it
