About FocusBlock
FocusBlock adds a moment of friction before distracting sites can pull you in.
Choose the sites you want to slow down. When you open one, FocusBlock shows a local countdown overlay that gives you time to decide whether to continue, snooze, or go back to what you meant to do.
Features:
- User-managed blocked site list
- Full-page countdown overlay on blocked sites
- Snooze controls for temporary breaks
- Browser action popup for quick status and controls
- Context menu and keyboard shortcut support
- Local schedules and reminder state
- Notifications for focus sessions and blocking state
FocusBlock is designed for friction, not punishment. It helps you pause before opening distracting sites while keeping control in your hands.
Privacy:
FocusBlock stores settings locally in your browser. It does not collect analytics, create an account, or send browsing data to a server.
Permissions:
- All sites / host access: needed to detect user-defined blocked sites and show the local overlay on matching pages
- Storage: saves blocked sites, schedules, snooze state, and settings locally
- Tabs / activeTab / webNavigation: detects navigation and updates focus state
- Context menus, alarms, notifications: powers local controls and reminders
No account. No analytics. No remote service.
