Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Time Snatch boosts your productivity by allowing you to limit the amount of time you spend on distracting websites.

You can completely block off a website or allow yourself to enjoy it for a few minutes (or hours) per day. After navigating to a distracting site you will be redirected to a productive one of your choice or to our default inspiring web page that will throw motivating quotes at you.

Time Snatch is lightweight, reliable and secure. It gives you the flexibility to block and manage each website individually.

Any comments, suggestions and ideas are welcome! Your feedback is invaluable and the extension will evolve depending on YOUR needs. Expect frequent updates and quick responses.

The "Read your browsing history" permission is needed to check whether the current website you are visiting matches any of the ones you have blocked. The extension never saves, sends or uses any of this information for other purposes. You can verify this by checking the open-source code at https://github.com/Thinkorswim/time-snatch.

User reviews

This is a good extension that achieves its purpose well. It has a couple of issues that would be great to fix: 1. No ability to have a different schedule by day (e.g. on the weekend) 2. When the blocking page is shown, it disables the history/back button so you have to close the tab.

This is exactly what I was looking for! I've noticed stayfocusd becoming increasingly commercialized, so I was looking for a free extension that wouldn't sell my data or show me ads. This extension's beautiful quotes and global time budget were exactly what I was looking for.
