Real feedback from people who took back control of their screen time.
I was losing 4 hours daily to YouTube and Reddit. Focus Timer literally changed my life. My grades went up and I actually finish work on time now.

The daily stats really opened my eyes. I had no idea I was spending 3 hours on social media. Now I'm down to 30 minutes max. Incredible tool.

Finally something that keeps me off Instagram while working from home. The warning at 80% is perfect — gives me time to wrap up without cold-cutting.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Is Focus Timer really free?
Yes, Focus Timer is 100% free with no hidden costs, premium tiers, or in-app purchases. All features are available to everyone. We believe productivity tools should be accessible to all.
Does Focus Timer collect my browsing data?
Absolutely not. Focus Timer runs entirely on your local machine. All your data (site limits, time tracking, stats) is stored locally in Chrome's storage. Zero data is sent to any server. Your privacy is fully protected.
Can I bypass the block when time is up?
In normal mode, you can choose to override the block. However, if you enable Strict Mode, the block is absolutely unbreakable until midnight. This is designed for users who need maximum discipline.
How do I set time limits for a website?
Simply visit the website you want to limit, click the Focus Timer extension icon, and hit "Add Limit for This Site." Set your desired daily time limit and pick a color tag. That's it — takes about 5 seconds!
When do limits reset?
All time limits automatically reset at midnight every day. You start each day with a fresh allowance for every tracked site. You can also view 7-day history trends in the Stats tab.
Does it work on all websites?
Focus Timer works on virtually all websites. You can set limits for any site you visit. The only exceptions are Chrome's built-in pages (like chrome:// URLs) and the Chrome Web Store, as Chrome restricts extensions from running on those pages.
Is it compatible with Manifest V3?
Yes! Focus Timer is built from the ground up with Chrome's latest Manifest V3 standard. This means better performance, improved security, and long-term compatibility with future Chrome updates.
Can I limit multiple sites at once?
Absolutely. There's no limit to how many sites you can track. Set different time limits for YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, TikTok, and any other site that distracts you. Each site gets its own independent timer.
How do the early warnings work?
When you've used 80% of your daily limit on a tracked site, a floating badge appears on the page showing your remaining time. This gives you a heads-up to wrap up what you're doing before the site gets blocked.
Can I request new features?
Focus Timer does not currently have a feature voting or request system. The extension is developed based on core productivity principles and user feedback. Check our GitHub repository for the latest updates and roadmap.
