Focus Guard — Website Blocker & Focus Timer

Description

Block distracting websites, start focus sessions with timers, and build better habits with progressive levels and daily tasks. Focus Guard helps you stay focused by blocking distracting websites and managing your time with structured focus sessions. 🔒 YOUR DATA NEVER LEAVES YOUR DEVICE — EVER This is not a policy. It is how the extension is built. Focus Guard has no servers, no backend, no cloud sync, and no internet connection of any kind. Your blocklist, sessions, tasks, stats, and settings live exclusively in Chrome's built-in storage on your machine. Not a single byte is transmitted anywhere — not to us, not to anyone. No account. No email. No login. Install and use immediately. No analytics SDK. No crash reporting. No telemetry. Nothing phoning home. No premium tier. No upsells. Completely free, forever. If you uninstall Focus Guard, Chrome deletes everything automatically. There is nothing left behind because there was never anything anywhere else. In a world where every productivity app wants your data, Focus Guard is the one that genuinely cannot have it. 🎯 WHAT IT DOES • Block distracting sites permanently or during focus sessions • Start timed focus sessions (15 min to 4 hours) with one click • Choose intensity levels: Light (blocklist only), Hard (block all except whitelist), or Lockdown (block everything) • Schedule automatic focus blocks throughout your day • Built-in Pomodoro timer with configurable work intervals and breaks • Track daily tasks and assign them to focus sessions • Get 7 kinds of health reminders — eye rest, posture, hydration, stand up, wrist stretches, deep breathing, and neck & shoulders — each with a short guided animation • Turn on Always-On mode to get health nudges all day, not just during sessions • Learn the app as you go with bite-sized Feature Tips and a browsable Tips library • View weekly and monthly focus recaps with charts and streaks • Works in incognito windows — blocking stays active everywhere 🌱 PROGRESSIVE LEVEL SYSTEM Start as a Seedling (Level 1) with basic blocking.
