About Refocus - Block Sites, Feeds & Stay Focused
Open a tab to "just check one thing" and lose an hour? Refocus is a website blocker and feed blocker that shuts down distracting sites, and the infinite feeds inside them, so you can stay focused and actually get your time back.
It's built on one idea most blockers miss: the problem usually isn't the whole site, it's the feed. So Refocus can block just the part that hijacks you and leave the useful pages working.
⭐ WHAT REFOCUS DOES
• Block any website in one click, build your own blocklist in seconds
• Block the feed, keep the rest, mute the LinkedIn feed but keep messages and jobs, block YouTube Shorts but keep your subscriptions, block r/all but keep the subreddits you actually use (path-level blocking most blockers can't do)
• Daily time limits, give a site 30 minutes a day, then it locks for the rest of the day
• Focus timer (Pomodoro), start a 25, 50 or 90-minute sprint and distractions go dark until it ends
• Scheduled blocking, auto-block distracting sites during work hours, or late at night when your willpower is lowest, set it once
• Pause for 3 hours, one tap when you genuinely need a blocked site; it auto-resumes so you never forget to turn blocking back on
• A live clock and quick actions on every tab, so time never disappears on you
• A calm, guilt-free block screen, no shaming, just a nudge back to what matters
⭐ IT LEARNS YOUR PATTERNS (100% on your device)
Refocus reads your own history locally and shows you the truth, "you opened linkedin.com 376 times this month", then hands you one-tap fixes.
• Spots your trigger ("you open LinkedIn right after Gmail")
• Finds your witching hour ("after 11pm your focus falls apart")
• Catches rising habits before they stick
• Gives every site a deep-dive: how often you come back, your peak hours, a 30-day recurrence graph
⭐ PRIVACY, 100% LOCAL, NO ACCOUNT
No sign-up. No servers. Nothing ever leaves your browser. The history permission is used only on your own machine to categorize sites and show your patterns, it is never uploaded, logged, or shared. Site access is required only so the block rules can apply to whichever sites you choose; Refocus does not read or transmit the contents of any page.
⭐ SIMPLE PRICING
Refocus is $1 a month. No ads, no upsells, no data selling, just a tiny price so a solo developer can keep it alive and improving. Cancel anytime.
Take your attention back. Install Refocus and block the first site in one click.
