User reviews

FocusGuard is praised for its simplicity, effectiveness, and free usage in helping users stay focused by blocking distracting sites without ads. However, multiple users find the frequent rating prompts annoying, desire more granular blocking features (like blocking parts of a site or entire categories), and note the absence of strict lock options. Some users also find it confusing due to lack of tutorials or instructions.
Pros
  • Helps users focus by effectively blocking distracting websites.
  • Simple and easy to use with no ads.
  • Free to use and better than many other site-blocking extensions.
  • Works in real time to block sites as intended.
  • Provides a clean redirect to a blank page with a shield when accessing blocked sites.
Cons
  • Repeated prompts asking users to rate the extension are annoying.
  • Lacks advanced features like blocking specific parts of a website or grouping social media sites together.
  • No tutorial or clear instructions, making it confusing for some users.
  • Missing a strict lock option, such as locking websites for a continuous hour without override.

Very nice application for focus mode. I would like to have options where it will be automatically set during certain times of day, uncertain days of a week.
