What It Does

Features

🚫

Intelligent Site Blocking

Block by exact domain, wildcard pattern, or keyword. Block entire categories (Social, News, Video, Gaming) in one toggle. Path-level allow/block for surgical control.

📅

Automatic Schedule Blocking

Define work schedules with complex rules — weekdays 9–6, except lunch, never on holidays. FocusGuard blocks automatically with no manual intervention.

⏱️

Deep Pomodoro Integration

25/5 sessions (fully customizable) with automatic blocking during focus intervals. Visual and sound cues. Session history tracked over time.

📊

Focus Analytics

See time-on-site, block events, focus session data, and productivity scores. Weekly reports highlight your best and worst days.

🔥

Streak System

Daily focus streaks, weekly goals, and milestones. Lose a streak day and you'll feel it — in a good way. Habit-building by design.

🔐

Strict Mode + PIN Protection

Lock your settings with a PIN to prevent impulsive unblocking. Scheduled strict mode that can't be disabled during active sessions.

🌐

Redirect Pages

Choose what blocked users see: a custom motivational message, a blank page, a clock, or redirect to a specific productive URL.

📱

Quick Toggle

Pause all blocking for 5, 15, or 30 minutes with one click. Resumption is automatic — perfect for supervised breaks.

The Process

How It Works

Set Your Rules

Add sites to block — individually or by category. Define your work schedule so blocking starts and stops automatically, without you thinking about it.

Start a Session

Launch a Pomodoro session from the popup or keyboard shortcut. Blocked sites are inaccessible during the 25-minute focus window.

Track Progress

Review your focus analytics weekly. See where time leaked, celebrate streaks, and adjust your blocklist based on real data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. FocusGuard supports path-level rules. You can block reddit.com/* while allowing reddit.com/r/programming, for example.

Yes, but you need to enable the extension for Incognito mode in Chrome's extension settings.

Strict Mode locks the extension settings and blocklist behind a PIN. During active Strict Mode, the PIN is required to make any changes. It cannot be disabled once activated until the session ends.

Not yet. Cross-device sync via Chrome Sync API is planned for v2.2. Currently, you can export and import your blocklist as JSON.
