About StayFocusd

StayFocusd is a site blocker for Chrome and Edge. You can block time-wasting websites outright or give them a daily time limit, and a Nuclear Option blocks sites completely for a set period when you need a harder stop.

A usage dashboard shows where your browsing time goes, with charts, daily reports and historical data for spotting patterns. The site also mentions in-app blocking and pairing with the StayFree mobile app. The extension is free.
