Extension summary

Focus by Freedom helps you stay focused on your work or schoolwork. Focus blocks distracting websites, while allowing you access to the sites you need. Focus lets you do better work in less time.

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.

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.
