## Description

Focus Guard helps you stay productive by setting time limits on distracting websites.

How it works:
- Enter any sites you want to limit (e.g. <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/42268797a19a16a2ebeeda77cca1eda5a48db14e0cff56de4fab35eaef484216/http%3A//reddit.com" rel="nofollow">reddit.com</a>, <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/577585700e711c66b2f847e9c2ba66f07706960fe129e88008d23cb2a93a014c/http%3A//youtube.com" rel="nofollow">youtube.com</a>)
- Set a time limit in minutes
- When you visit one of those sites a timer starts silently in the background
- When your time is up, an overlay appears asking you to close the tab or extend your time

No accounts. No tracking. All settings are stored locally on your device.
