Description from store
Block distracting websites with ease using the Serene Chrome Extension.
When you click 'Go Serene' you will start a focus session - which can last from 15-60 minutes. Visiting a website on your block list during a focus session will replace the distracting website with a reminder of the goal you're working towards and a session countdown timer.
The Serene Chrome Extension replaces the new tab page with a distraction-free screen that reminds you of your goal and provides productivity insights.
Mac users can also connect the Serene Chrome extension to their Serene MacOS app to automatically:
• Shut down distracting apps on your computer when you enter a focus session
• Display your goal & focus session information when you open a new tab
• Log your distractions so that you can quantify and reduce them
• Turn on/off focus music when you enter a focus session
• Put your phone on silent when you enter a focus session
Serene was created to block distractions, increase your focus, and organise each day around one goal. Our Chrome extension allows you to take back control and get out of your own way when you need to do focused work.
Latest reviews
- (2022-04-26) David Bedford: Absolutely awful. Didn't block a single site on my blacklist. Shame, as it's a great concept.
- (2021-10-04) Clare Southerton: Doesn't block *anything* - as others have said in their reviews, this website blocker doesn't work. It doesn't block the websites you list. It doesn't seem to do anything.
- (2021-09-18) Kaia Vere: Wow... Well I'm here to add to the pile of negative reviews that say this app just straight up doesn't work. Literally all it has to do, for me to leave a good review, is block Facebook and Reddit. It does not do that. Lol Y'ALL HAD ONE JOB
- (2021-07-27) Bryan Bontilao: It works on my end. When I start the session on my machine and try to open the blocked site, I could not proceed on the site. It only shows a page with a timer and the goal that I should be working. I noticed that the default social media (Facebook, Instagram, etc.) in the app are disabled, so I still need to toggle it or block it manually. Most users may probably not see this and may comment that the app/extension is not working.
- (2021-07-02) smile fenn: doesnt work lmao
- (2021-05-17) Dawson: Terrible. App and Chrome extension both don't work. Thank god I did free trial.
- (2021-04-08) Marina Vance: It doesn't work
- (2021-02-23) Fiona Chen: It worked for the first week or so, so I paid for the membership and I haven't been able to get it to work since then. Really disappointed since the membership was expensive too
- (2020-10-25) Kathryn Holt: I don't understand this extension. I hasn't blocked any pages I asked it to. Does it truly and simply not work?
- (2020-10-13) Paul Schneider: Doesnt work: it just doesnt block the pages it is supposed to block.
- (2020-08-13) Slows down computer and doesn't even work
- (2020-08-12) Alexandre: You need to show a message when you click the icon on the extension bar on the upper left that you NEED to open a new tab for the options to show. I thought this app was just not functioning and was about to uninstall it for 5 minutes straight because of this. Literally all the other extensions are showing something when you click their icon. This is weird.
- (2020-04-03) Marcos Piérola: Too basic. It changed my new tab page and didn't let me disable that option. I had to endure whatever wallpapers it threw my way. It only supported full website blocks and didn't have any option to set time limits for a site or to set up which days and hours within a day should be considered as time for being productive.
- (2019-09-10) Benjamin Hitchens: Serene is the smartest chrome extension I've added. No matter how hard I try and focus on a task, my mind would wonder to sites that would distract me. With Serene this is no longer a problem, my productivity levels have gone through the roof!
