Monastery

Monastery restricts your browsing session and blocks and limits time spent on a user-supplied blacklist.

Monastery is a powerful Firefox extension designed to help you regain control over your browsing habits by blocking and limiting time spent on distracting websites. Inspired by the popular StayFocusd extension for Chrome, Monastery allows you to create a personalized blacklist of sites and sets a daily time limit for visiting them. Once the allotted time expires, Monastery blocks those sites until the next day, keeping procrastination at bay.

Key features include a countdown timer for blacklisted pages, adjustable daily browsing time limits, customizable site lists, and browser notifications to alert you when your time is nearly up. A unique delay feature can also be enabled to impose a mandatory wait time before blacklisted sites load, further reducing impulsive visits. Whether you want to limit time on social networking sites like Facebook, Reddit, or Tumblr, Monastery helps maintain focus and productivity effectively.
