FocusGuard automatically blocks social media and other time-wasters during your working hours. No willpower needed — just work.
You open your browser with one goal — but before you know it you're on Instagram, YouTube or Reddit. Not because you're lazy or lack discipline.
But because these platforms are literally designed to hijack your attention. Endless scrolling, autoplay, notifications — it's not accidental. These are techniques backed by billions in research.
Every time you "quickly" check YouTube, your brain needs 20 to 30 minutes to reach the same focus level again. Your concentration is their business model.
Download, install, and set which sites to block and when. Done in under 2 minutes.
Download the zip file, unzip it and load the folder into Edge or Chrome. No technical knowledge required.
Click the icon in your browser. Add sites and choose which hours they should be blocked.
Try to visit a blocked site? You'll see a clean page with a daily focus tip instead.
No blank error page. No guilt. Instead, a clean, calm page that reminds you of your goal — with a different focus tip from 100 proven strategies every day.
Available in English and Dutch, switchable in one click.
Nothing you don't. Simple, fast and privacy-friendly.
Set exact block hours. 9 to 5, or evenings only — you decide when.
No fixed schedule needed. Start a 25, 45, 60 or 90-minute session — or set your own duration. Blocking stops automatically when time is up.
Add whatever sites distract you. YouTube, Instagram, Reddit — or anything else.
Set a 4-digit PIN to stop an active session. So you can't cheat yourself — and stay honest.
100 proven focus strategies. A new tip every day — rotating automatically.
Switch between English and Dutch with one click. The block page updates automatically.
No account, no tracking, no data sent to servers. Everything stays local on your device.
No paywall, no premium version. Just a useful tool — for everyone.
Sometimes you don't know exactly when you'll be working. With focus sessions you choose on the spot how long you want to focus — and the extension handles the rest.
Pick 25 minutes for a quick sprint, or 90 minutes for a deep work session. When time's up, blocking stops automatically.
