StayFocusd
Free Chrome and Edge extension that limits time on distracting sites
What is StayFocusd?
StayFocusd is a free browser extension for Chrome and Edge that restricts the time you can spend on distracting websites. A site can be blocked outright or given a daily time allowance, and a stricter Nuclear Option blocks sites for a set number of hours with no way to cancel. It is published by Sensor Tower and pairs with the StayFree mobile app to show desktop and phone usage together.
StayFocusd is free to use. See every plan
Good for
- Chrome and Edge users who want a free blocker with daily time allowances
- People who want Shorts, Reels and comment sections hidden without blocking a whole site
- Android users who already track phone use with StayFree
Worth knowing
- It runs only as a Chrome or Edge extension; the site says it is not available for Opera and links to no Firefox or Safari version.
- It limits websites only: desktop apps are not blocked, and phone usage comes from the separate StayFree app.
- Sensor Tower's privacy policy says that, with your consent, de-identified website and ad usage data is sent to its servers and used in products it sells.
Key features
- Block or time-limit sites
- Block a site completely or give it a daily time allowance. Rules can cover whole sites, subdomains, paths, single pages or in-page content such as videos and images.
- The Nuclear Option
- Blocks sites for the number of hours you specify on the days you choose, and cannot be canceled once it starts. It can be started by hand or on a schedule.
- In App Blocking
- Hides sections inside YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and other social sites, such as shorts, reels, recommended videos and comments.
- Usage Metrics Dashboard
- Charts and daily reports show the time spent on each website, with historical data for spotting patterns.
- Require Challenge
- Changing any setting can require completing a difficult task first, which makes it harder to loosen your own limits on impulse.
- Pairing with StayFree
- Connecting Android devices and other browsers through StayFree shows website and mobile app usage and limits in one place.
