About BreakCycle – Private Site Blocker for Focus

BreakCycle is a free website blocker and site blocker for Chrome, Brave, Edge, Opera, and other Chromium browsers — built to help you block distracting websites and stay focused. Unlike many popular site blockers, BreakCycle is private by design: there's no account required to use it, and your browsing and block list stay on your device — never synced, uploaded, or sent to a server. BreakCycle is built around a small idea: the version of you who plans your day is usually better at it than the version of you who's six social tabs deep at 11pm. So you set the rules now — calmly, intentionally — and BreakCycle does the quiet work of holding the line later. Use it as a focus and productivity blocker for social media, YouTube, news, and other time-sinks during work or study — or as a private adult-content and porn website blocker. Either way, because your block list stays on your device, blocking sensitive sites never means handing a record of them to someone else's server. What you can set up: 🗓️ Schedules that fit a real week Block your problem sites during your work hours on weekdays, then keep a separate schedule for weekends. No more lumping Saturday in with Tuesday. ⏳ A daily time budget If a hard block feels too strict, give yourself a budget instead — say, twenty minutes a day. Spend it however you want. When it's gone, the sites go quiet until tomorrow. ☕ Take a Break, on purpose You don't always need to be cut off. The Take a Break button gives you a small, deliberate window to handle something real, without blowing up the schedule you set for yourself. What makes BreakCycle different Most website blockers ask you to sign in, sync across devices, or route your activity through their servers — which means your block list, and everything it implies about you, lives on someone else's computer. BreakCycle doesn't. No account required to use it, no sync, and no server logging what you block or where you go. It's built on Manifest V3, runs locally in your browser, and works across Chrome, Brave, Edge, Opera, and other Chromium browsers. A quiet tool, on your side BreakCycle is free and private. It runs in your browser, needs no account to use, and doesn't watch what you do — because a tool meant to help you spend less time online shouldn't itself be one more thing tracking you.
