What is Stay Focused?

Stay Focused is an app and website blocker for Android, iPhone and iPad, with a Chrome extension for blocking sites on a computer. Blocks can follow a schedule, start after a daily usage limit, depend on a goal or apply at a chosen location, and Strict Mode stops you from switching them off early. The app is free to download and sells Premium features by subscription.

Stay Focused has a free plan. Paid plans start at $3.99 / month, or $24.99 / year (US App Store). See every plan

Good for

  • People who want blocks they cannot switch off on impulse
  • Android users who want to block short videos but keep the app
  • Students running timed study sessions with distracting apps locked

Worth knowing

  • Prices and the list of Premium features are not on the vendor's site; the dollar figures come from the US App Store, and Google Play shows $0.49 to $99.99 per item.
  • Purchases are tied to one platform and one device: an Android purchase cannot be used on iOS.
  • On iPhone and iPad, iOS caps blocking at 50 apps or websites at a time, and blocking Reels and Shorts is offered on Android only.
  • There is no Mac or Windows app; on a computer it is limited to a Chrome extension that blocks websites and keywords.

Key features

App and website blocking with profiles
Pick the apps, sites and keywords to block and group them into profiles for sleep, work or study. Each profile can work as a blocklist or as a whitelist of what stays allowed.
Schedules, daily limits and goals
Block during set days and hours, after a daily usage limit is used up, or until you have spent a set amount of time in apps you class as productive.
Location-based blocking
Block apps automatically while you are at a place you choose, such as a school, office or library, or while you are away from it.
Strict Mode
Locks your blocks until a timer runs out. Turning it off can require a PIN, an expiry date, a QR code scan or typing a randomly generated text.
Pomodoro sessions and Focus Sounds
Timed focus sessions with planned breaks keep all but a few chosen apps blocked. Rain, ocean waves, brown noise and other sounds can be mixed into a background track.
Reels and Shorts blocking
On Android, hide YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and Stories or Snapchat Spotlight while keeping the rest of each app usable.
