Epic Focus Blocker

Blocks distracting websites during focus sessions. Controlled by the Epic Focus desktop app.

Epic Focus Blocker keeps distracting websites shut while you work. You pick what to block in the Epic Focus desktop app — individual sites, whole categories, or an "only list" that allows nothing but the handful of sites a task actually needs. Start a focus session and this extension enforces that list in your browser. End the session and everything opens again. WHAT IT DOES • Blocks the domains and pages you chose, for as long as your session runs • Handles single-page apps — youtube.com/shorts stays blocked even though the page never reloads • Supports "only list" mode, where everything is blocked except what you allow • Unblocks the moment a session ends, so nothing is ever stuck blocked • Shows a plain block page instead of a browser error, so you always know why IMPORTANT: THIS EXTENSION NEEDS THE EPIC FOCUS DESKTOP APP On its own, this extension does nothing at all. It contains no block list: what it blocks comes from the Epic Focus desktop app running on the same computer, over a local connection. If the app is not installed, not running, or has no active session, the extension sits idle and blocks nothing. The toolbar popup works the same way: it shows your lists only while the app is running and you are signed in, and says so when it is not. What it shows (list names, which lists are running or locked and until when, and the sites already on them) comes from the app, is used only to show the popup, and is never stored by the extension. Install the desktop app first: https://epicfocus.app PRIVACY The extension collects nothing. No account, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no server of its own. It does not record where you browse. Besides checking the pages you open against your own block list, on your own computer, the extension reads a page address in two more cases. Its content script also checks the URL of frames in the page (an embedded video player, for example), so a blocked site stays blocked inside other pages. That URL, with the origin of the page around the frame, goes only to the extension's own background. And when you open the popup (by clicking the toolbar button, or with a keyboard shortcut), it reads the address of the tab you are on, only then, so it can offer that site for blocking. The address is not stored. If you press the add button, the extension sends the part you chose to the Epic Focus desktop app on your own computer, and nowhere else. The app saves it to your Epic Focus lists like any other edit you make there, so it syncs to your account and other devices (see the app's policy at https://epicfocus.app/privacy.html). The only thing the extension stores is a single timestamp used to avoid reloading itself in a loop.
