Add to Chrome

Quick Start

Get up and running in less than a minute.

1. Enable & Add

Click the extension icon and ensure the toggle is ON. Use the "Quick Add" button when visiting a distracting site, or manually type domains (e.g., youtube.com) in the Websites tab.

2. Set Limits

Go to Settings, under Time Limit make sure it says enabled, and set your daily max time. This limit applies specifically to the websites in your block list.

3. Choose Action

Select what happens when time runs out:
Redirect
to a site of your choosing
Block
access completely with optional disable
Warn
with a reminder in the top right corner

4. Analyze

Periodically check the Dashboard to see your weekly usage. Insights can be viewed with the button "Learn more about your habits". Note that sites under 1 minute are hidden but are still counted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't a website being tracked?

There are certain websites that won't be tracked such as internal pages like chrome://, New Tab, and local files file://. These cannot be tracked or blocked.

I added a site but it's not blocking. Why?

Ensure the toggle is ON near the top of the extension, the Timer is set to Active in settings, and you have reloaded the tab after adding the site. Also check that you haven't dismissed a previous warning for that tab.

Does the extension track websites when minimized?

Yes, if the window is minimized / out of focus, the last website you were on will continue to be tracked until the AFK/Idle detection kicks in.

Does the extension track tabs on a different monitor?

No unless you are specifically interacting with that tab, the extension won't track any tab that isn't being focused. This can include things such as youtube videos playing on a second monitor.

Is my data private?

Yes, all data is stored locally in your Chrome browser's storage. Nothing is sent to external servers, and nothing is being tracked.
