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.

🔗 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.

- (2025-09-10) 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.
- (2025-09-08) Comments are a 10/10 did all my work
- (2025-09-07) coolest and the actual one
- (2025-09-04) Keeps you on track and is HILARIOUS when you try to add more time. 10/10 did lots of work.
- (2025-09-02) 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.
- (2025-09-02) ok
- (2025-09-02) Works very well.
- (2025-09-01) Saves me a headache with work and juxaposition
- (2025-09-01) Very helpful extension helped me a lot to cut off distraction.
- (2025-08-30) This app has helped me to avoid spending too much time browsing the web in order to focus more on getting needed things done.
- (2025-08-30) Much needed extension for all, amazing product.
- (2025-08-29) Does what it says it do, love it !!!
- (2025-08-23) 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
- (2025-08-22) 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.
- (2025-08-22) 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.
- (2025-08-20) The best, the best, the best
- (2025-08-18) 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.
- (2025-08-17) Good
- (2025-08-16) 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.
- (2025-08-14) this is an awesome extension that I definitely will be using for a long time.
- (2025-08-13) It helps me a lot with procrastination
- (2025-08-13) 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.
- (2025-08-12) 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
- (2025-08-12) Just amazing. The amount of work put in. The attention to detail. The 79 alerts thrown before extending time are hilarious. Greatly appreciated!
- (2025-08-08) it a good extension for students. its helps us to focused in study.
- (2025-08-05) NICE APP
- (2025-08-04) forcing the extension to only work when accept the their tracking analytics, lol
- (2025-08-04) Best focus app there is. Exceeds expecations set by Screen Zen which in my opinion is the best for phone.
- (2025-08-04) The best and the most GOAT is the nuke em option
- (2025-08-04) Feature-rich and free
- (2025-08-01) Bugy, the team even released broken version
- (2025-07-30) 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
- (2025-07-27) excellent for preventing procrastination and keeps you away from distracting sites easily.
- (2025-07-25) 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?
- (2025-07-24) I really like it
- (2025-07-17) StayFocussed was a life saver last year but suddently stopped working - it allows website access 24h despite my settings for 22h. I switched to Firefox but nothing equal to StayFocussed and returned to Chrome, re-installed Stay Focussed but still does not block internet use at the time I set!! Emailed help desk but no reply yet.
- (2025-07-17) Great app, could be better. Don't get why you can't set a challenge with fewer characters than that monstrosity of a text. Had to uninstall the app to get through it anyway cause for some reason ; is not read by the addon.
- (2025-07-17) some bugs but its good
- (2025-07-17) Very good app. No ads is nice.
- (2025-07-16) looks fantastic, no ads, no pop ups, easy to use and understand
- (2025-07-16) really good
- (2025-07-13) Thought it was great until it turned out to be completely useless. They say contact through their discord before leaving a negative review but it's a dead discord. StayFree works great though, and if I were them I'd be embarrassed to be associated with whatever this is.
- (2025-07-11) If my computer is closed when active hours begin, all my websites get blocked before the time is up. Very inconsistent
- (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.....
