What is StayFocusd?

'StayFocusd' is an Edge add-on that maximizes productivity by restricting time spent on unproductive websites. Once users exhaust their daily limit on designated websites, these sites become inaccessible, encouraging work over distraction. With various configurations, 'StayFocusd' allows users to block or allow entire sites, specific subdomains, paths, pages, and even in-page content. No personal data is collected or transmitted, and preferred settings can be synced across multiple computers through Google Sync.

Summary

Analyze keywords

StayFocusd increases your productivity by limiting the amount of time that you can spend on time-wasting websites.

You sit down at the computer, and you swear you'll be productive. Next thing you know, it's twelve hours later. You've checked your email, updated your Facebook status, blown through 200 pages of Reddit, read every article in your Twitter feed, looked up your favorite band on Wikipedia, vanity googled yourself, cyber-stalked your ex, browsed through all your high-school crushes' Instagram feeds, and lost a week's pay playing online poker.

What you haven't done is WORK.

StayFocusd is a productivity extension that helps you stay focused on work by restricting the amount of time you can spend on time-wasting websites. Once your allotted time has been used up, the sites you have blocked will be inaccessible for the rest of the day.

It's highly configurable, allowing you to block or allow entire sites, specific subdomains, specific paths, specific pages, even specific in-page content (videos, games, images, forms, etc).

Request from the creators of this tool to consider the following suggestion - To please provide an option to add allowed sites in the "limited settings access option". Apart from this, it is absolutely an excellent tool to protect your mind from getting distracted on the web.

I tried to increase my time limit from 3 minutes to 5, just to be able to respond to event invites on Facebook. The StayFocusd add-on intercepted my attempt to change this while I had only a couple of seconds of time left, and presented me with a grand total of about 10 sequential pop-up windows asking me at first to confirm whether I was sure I wanted to add more time to my budget, then getting more aggressive by suggesting that I'm sabotaging myself, eventually degrading through threats of nuclear warfare and killing an innocent puppy, all the way to a threat of telling my mom. 10/10
