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, 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.

- (2025-07-08) best extention
- (2025-07-08) Easy 5 stars. Easy to use and a great way to work on habits.
- (2025-07-07) This is seriously genius. I love it. Or did. It stopped working yesterday and I can't figure out why. Guess I'll restart. But the thing where you have to type a whole paragraph about procrastination perfectly to disable it, is so clever.
- (2025-07-07) really nice
- (2025-07-06) It is THE best
- (2025-07-05) Amazing for restricting distractive websites, great humor as well as the challenge to turn off the blocker which helps with clarity. highly recommend.
- (2025-07-04) keeps glitching and blocks the wrong apps like Spotify instead of Pintrest, even blocks my google account at times and it is a horrible hassle to keep closing and re-opening tabs just to get it to work right! also the notifications of the amount of time I had left never came! This was something set to make sure research was easier and no distractions came but it blocked my research part! Unacceptable! But it does effectively lock the apps it's designed to keep out.....
- (2025-07-03) It's frankly amazing and the developers truly sealed all backdoors shut that my ape procrastinator brain usually resorted to. Trying to disable the extension is greeted with a series of are you sures just enough to begin to wake up and question your sanity. Blocks on domains and websites is perfect, blocks the site regardless how it is opened and there's no way around it, I love the wild card feature because it allows me to block youtube shorts pretty easily, although for some reason right now I cant add a new group to blocked sites from the settings.. The only issue with blocking sites is the entire tab must be closed so you lose all history prior but its not a major issue although I would prefer if I can go back to the last allowed site on the same tab.
- (2025-07-02) It's really cool extension.... Must give it a try
- (2025-06-29) Nice extension works great! One addition i would like: A preset list of social media sites and distracting sites
- (2025-06-28) Amazing in almost all ways. Very customizable to own preferences. I would like to mention though that it is possible to cheat. If you block a website and the time runs out, you can add the specific tab you were browsing in Allowed sites, and then it's possible to access it again. Maybe adding websites to the Allowed list shouldn't be possible if the basic URL of the website is in the Blocked list and its time already ran out.
- (2025-06-24) Used to be better, doesn't work half the time, if you're under 13 it wont even open the options saying "the terms of service has changed" you have to bend the knee and lie to say your 18 so they can get you to agree to their data collecting. plus I can never catch Nuclear Mode at a time I can deactivate it so its effectively stuck on forever if I chose that option
- (2025-06-22) very very Nice
- (2025-06-17) Very good, best one out there
- (2025-06-17) Took a little bit to understand the features and overall I like it as of now.
- (2025-06-16) Works super great and most of all its completely free
- (2025-06-14) Generally works, but also blocks random sites that aren't in your block list. For instance, it prevents me from paying rent for no reason. You can get around it by adding the site to an allow list, but it's annoying to have random sites blocked for no reason while you're browsing the web.
- (2025-06-13) Read the Terms and Conditions! “You hereby grant Sensor Tower a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, fully transferable and sub-licensable worldwide right and license to use your User Contributions in any way and for any purposes... without any further notice or compensation to you of any kind.” And further: “If you submit content to us... you agree that such Submitted Content will not be treated as confidential... and may be used and exploited by Sensor Tower without compensation to you or any third party.” It also downloads the extension BEFORE you accept the terms and conditions. So... you can click away and not accept, but you need to check and see if it is already downloaded. It was for me.
- (2025-06-13) Worked well for a while for a while but would randomly replace tabs with the screen telling you it's blocked even though the timer hadn't run out yet. At one point all of my restrictions were removed in an update and I didn't realize for like a week. Worked well for showing me how much time I'd spent on each site but recently they're tried to connect it with this app they've made so every chart now defaults to showing you which device you've used more even though I'm only using a single device.
- (2025-06-11) Been using this for a while and it's working OK. Time limit seems to be buggy - when I set time limit for 45min on Youtube it blocks the site already after 26 minutes (according to time shown in the Dashboard)
- (2025-06-09) Wow, had such a terrible experience. I set it up. Went through the onboarding. Didn't know what I was doing but just seemed to select options that seemed right. I just wanted to block social media and some news sites but I didn't spend the time to add those I guess. Then after about 10 minutes while in the middle of work emails, StayFocusd blocked me from seeing any websites. I could not figure out any way to disable this. There was no way from the blocked screen. I had saved the url for the StayFocusd settings page and it wouldn't let me see that. It wouldn't let me see the Chrome Extension Manager either. Then in another browser, ChatGPT said to do into ingonito mode but again StayFocusd blocked me. WFT. I had to figure out how to open the file in Windows and delete it. Really? It seems like so many people have a good experience with this but I can't imagine. What a headache.
- (2025-06-08) suppperb
- (2025-06-04) With this extension I just need a bit of will to nuke all unproductive websites.
- (2025-06-03) one of the best apps for being productive. It helped me overcome a lot of distraction and today after one day of its use i am extremely satisfied , it definitely deserves 5 stars. Love it
- (2025-06-02) I just started using this app today, but the fact that it can block Youtube shorts alone makes it it a 4/5 app. All the smart little touches after that just push it to 5/5 and beyond!
- (2025-06-01) I haven't been using it very long but I just tried turning it off and it kept giving me pop ups to give me a chance to think about what I was doing. So many pop ups. They're serious about their mission! I did not get to the end of the pop ups but they were pretty funny!
- (2025-05-30) it is not displaying the time on site on specific website i used
- (2025-05-29) If you want a second chance, not only at achiving your goals and describing your waste of time, but also on maintaining yourself even in your darkest of addictions, get this app. It'll block them, and it'll block them good.
- (2025-05-29) this app is the BEST I MUST SAY IT IS BEST ... Download this to save your precious time.
- (2025-05-25) Used to think StayFocusd was helpful, but it’s more trouble than it’s worth. It slows down Chrome, the timer is buggy, and customization is frustrating—it kicks in immediately with no clear setup. Worst part? It blocked its own settings page, and the only thing it managed to effectively block was itself. Also, clearing cookies resets all restrictions, making it pretty useless. I’ve switched to TimeBuddy—much more reliable, customizable, and actually does what it promises.
- (2025-05-25) amazing. highly recommend to people wanting to boost efficiency and productivity, whilst decreasing distraction
- (2025-05-22) absolutely recommended for students .
- (2025-05-19) very useful extension 😎
- (2025-05-19) i don't have the little window shown in the pictures that says how much time is remaining - i can only see the time left if i go to the stayfocused window and look. how do i make that show up?
- (2025-05-14) really good
- (2025-05-13) I had installed this extension. It is very helpful and helped me to stay focused but It hanged my pc. I was not able to open websites even weriting on search engine in chrome. I used another id but still it did n't work . So , when I remove it . My chrome and laptop is working fine . I really wish this performace issue to be fixed so that I can boost my productivity and use this extension.
- (2025-05-04) Functions as intended, but also blocks random sites I didn't put in my list?? Random educational sites, shopping websites, blogs, etc. And even the print center?! Inconvenient since I need to turn it off every time I print something. No "block by category" option as far as I can tell, so I'm not sure why this is happening. Besides that, great extension. "Nuclear option" is amazing!
- (2025-05-04) I used to love this extension until I realized it was dramatically slowing down my Chrome browser. I uninstalled it and all the performance issues went away.
- (2025-05-04) Best blocker extension
- (2025-05-01) Helped me so much with app addictions, thanks.
- (2025-05-01) One of the best if not the best extension for productivity becuase it is just perfect
- (2025-04-29) One of the best if not the best extension for productivity becuase it is just perfect
- (2025-04-29) underrated
- (2025-04-24) im not even kiddingg its one of my favtt extension not only bcuz it blocks other distracting sites but also bcuzz the way it stops me from turning it off and the way it communicates with me through notification i just LOVEEE it. The interaction via notification is soo good likee bro i really wanna have a good talk with the developer
- (2025-04-23) THE BEST
- (2025-04-22) Technology's great when it works! This doesn't for me. I installed ityesterday. It tells me it's not installed! I click to install it and it says it is. It also says I've already used all my time for today and I just turned the computer on so, it's "remove from chrome."
- (2025-04-21) The best productivity extension by far
- (2025-04-21) words would be not enough to describe it
- (2025-04-21) life saver from distractions
- (2025-04-21) I would like an option to apply the in-app block feature only during active hours. I want to simplify my experience by blocking distracting YouTube functions when I use it for background music while working or for videos I need to review, but I want to use YouTube without any restrictions outside of my designated work hours.
