Description

Block distracting websites and get funny images to go back to work.

Stay focused is an open source chrome extension to help you to block distracting websites like social media.
The idea behinds this, that sometimes you are working, and suddenly you find yourself sitting on social media like Facebook, and you spend there like 30 minutes without noticing that. So this chrome extension will show an image to remind you to back to work.

Functionalities 💪
- Block entering websites by three methods:
- Block by websites.
- Block by a word.
- Block by regex.
- Group block websites in groups (like social media, videos, etc)
- Showing funny images to tell you to go back to work.
- specify working hours(to only block websites during your working hours)
- Using Lock mechanism to delay you from disabling the tool immediately:
- Lock By Password: To prevent others from entering the settings and unlock the tool
- Lock By Questions You have to answer a question to unlock the tool
- Clicking a button You have to click on a moving button for number of times to unlock the tool

Clean and fast UI. Would be perfect if users can set a time limit for each group.

Great so far. Only extension I've found that lets you use regex, which enables me to add the $ anchor to the end of the url so I can block things like the reddit homepage to stop casual browsing, while allowing specific pages on reddit I might actually need to access when doing work. The UI is also nicely designed, and I like the requirement to click 8 times to edit the extension settings.

So close to being a perfect 5 stars!! The permissions are perfect (only history is required vs. *change all data on all sites*) Unfortunately though, after opening the extension for the first time, I clicked "Add" and now it says "Website: chromewebstore.google.com Already Added" with no option to remove... In the settings there was ways to enable and disable groups of sites but I couldn't unblock the Chrome web store :( One last thing that would be very helpful is sometimes I've Googled for something, found what I needed, then clicked the link only for it to show me the "focus now!" screen. Would be awesome if I could unlock it temporarily and for it to redirect that page back to where I was trying to go vs. backtracking to find the right link.
