Focus Lock

Friction-based focus blocker to stop dopamine scrolling.

Break dopamine loops and protect your deep work sessions with high-friction accountability. Most website blockers fail because they are too easy to turn off. With a single click or toggle, you bypass the block and fall right back into infinite feeds. Focus Lock takes a different approach: psychological friction. When you start a focus session, Focus Lock intercepts visits to high-distraction entertainment, social feeds, video streaming platforms, and casual online games. If impulse takes over and you navigate to a blocked platform, Focus Lock stops you with an accountability breach screen. To gain a temporary 2-minute unlock, you are forced to manually type out the commitment statement: "I am choosing short-term dopamine over my goals." Copy-pasting is strictly disabled. You must type every character, forcing your brain out of autopilot and confronting you with the trade-off. KEY FEATURES: • Comprehensive Distraction Interceptor: Blocks high-distraction platforms across popular social media, short-form video apps, streaming platforms, online retail sites, and casual gaming portals. • Psychological Friction Gate: Requires typing a full accountability phrase without pasting to earn a brief 2-minute bypass pass. • Goal Accountability: Keeps your primary session objective visible on the blocking screen so you remember what you're working toward. • Built-in Session Timer: Set customizable focus blocks (e.g., 25-minute Pomodoro sessions up to 180 minutes) with a real-time countdown. • 100% Private & Local: All timers, goals, and sessions run entirely in your local browser storage. No tracking, no external data collection, and no browsing history leaves your machine. HOW IT WORKS: 1. Click the Focus Lock icon in your toolbar. 2. Enter the primary objective you need to finish and select your session time. 3. Click "Lock In." 4. If you attempt to open a blocked website, Focus Lock intercepts the tab and reminds you of your commitment. Try Focus Lock free for your first 3 sessions, or unlock lifetime access for unlimited deep work sessions.
