THE CHALLENGE

Do you work or study on your computer?

Then you’ve been distracted by news, social media, shopping, email. These distractions lead you to drift off-task, waste time, and end up unproductive and unfulfilled. We’ve all been there.

The temptation of opening a new browser tab to find a new distraction is strong and the action is often compulsive.

We all have specific sites that are our go-to distractions, but we also know that anything we click has the potential to become a distraction. except for the tools we’re using to get our work or studying done.

User reviews

Minus 1 star because this should be integrated into Freedom Premium (I'm a subscriber). It is annoying and inconvenient to keep configuring Focus plugin separately on each computer that I use. If it was integrated into Freedom, changes would automatically get carried over. Please consider implementing this. And if you decide to go ahead, integrate Limit as well. I know Freedom Premium also blocks websites, but Limit plugin allows using the website for a set time before blocking, while Freedom doesn't. Could use that feature for premium subscribers.
