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.

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.

とてもよいですが、いくつか問題がありました。・サブドメインが登録できない（youtubeとyoutube musicが同じサイトとしてみなされる。サブドメインが登録できるようになった場合、許可リストがあると便利かもしれません）・設定画面で編集を押すと項目がリセットされる

Fairly simple to use. It provides both features I needed: site time limiter, and site blocker for certain time frame! I like the quotes too, good reminder they are.
