Overview
Boost your productivity by limiting the amount of time you spend on time-wasting websites.
You sit down at the computer, and you swear you'll be productive. Next thing you know, it's twelve hours later. You've checked your email, updated your Facebook status, blown through 200 pages of Reddit, read every article in your Twitter feed, looked up your favorite band on Wikipedia, vanity googled yourself, cyber-stalked your ex, browsed through all your high-school crushes' Instagram feeds, and lost a week's pay playing online poker. What you haven't done is WORK. StayFocusd is a productivity extension for Google Chrome that helps you stay focused on work by restricting the amount of time you can spend on time-wasting websites. Once your allotted time has been used up, the sites you have blocked will be inaccessible for the rest of the day. It's highly configurable, allowing you to block or allow entire sites, specific subdomains, specific paths, specific pages, even specific in-page content (videos, images, forms, etc). Problems? Questions? Suggestions? Effusive praise? Email support@stayfocusd.com PRIVACY NOTICE: When you install StayFocusd, it will ask you to grant a number of permissions, including “Read and change all your data on the websites you visit.” This permission is required in order for StayFocusd to run on any site which you may visit—without this permission, StayFocusd would not be able to block websites. While this permission technically grants StayFocusd the ability to read and change data, we will never collect personal data from the web page content that you are browsing. This extension is maintained by Sensor Tower.

I have been using this for about 10 years and loved every bit until the latest change. The current version syncs the allowed time across multiple devices. It used to be independent, so using up 10 mins on computer#1 did not affect computer#2. Now, after 10 mins on computer#1, computer#2 has no time left without even opening Chrome. Is this a bug? If so, please fix it. If not, is there a chance you will bring the old feature back or at least make it an option?

One of the best focus extension out there! In my opinion, some of the best features are that it is completely free, actively updated, and makes it very, very, difficult to unblock websites in the moment when you are feeling impulsive. Hope this is informative and thank you to the devs because this extension is definitely saving me from a chess addiction :)

Works well! I would like to change settings for this day as well, but that was not possible. Will have to complete settings tomorrow I guess.
