Minus 1 star because this should be integrated into Freedom Premium (I'm a subscriber). It is annoying and inconvenient to keep configuring Focus plugin separately on each computer that I use. If it was integrated into Freedom, changes would automatically get carried over. Please consider implementing this. And if you decide to go ahead, integrate Limit as well. I know Freedom Premium also blocks websites, but Limit plugin allows using the website for a set time before blocking, while Freedo... Show more

Some websites I chose to allow are still showing as blocked. I had a negative experience and I hope it can be resolved.

Needs a black list besides a white list, sometimes you want to block few websites not all the internet.

Hey Álvaro! Thanks for the feedback. You might be interested in using our "Limit" extension which allows you to limit the amount of time you spend on websites in the Chrome browser, or try our primary app "Freedom" where you can find the functionality you're looking for. You can find that at www.freedom.to. Thanks!

It wont work for me i tried adding and removing sites multiple times but it blocks the allowed sites anyway ive been here for like 30 mins. Why does it sometimes choose to allow the sites that i whitelist and sometimes block????? Also if i disable it and enable it its all messy some are blocked and some are not. I guess I can use my pin every single time on each day I need to use it but its so annoying.

If site is added in whitelist, subpages on this site are blocked. It doesn't help to work, if I can't read different scientific papers on one site without entering pin every two minutes.

Hi there! Thanks so much for the feedback. I'll make sure subpage support is added as a feature request for our developers. Thanks again!

Sometimes It doesn't block the site after the fixed time's over. Otherwise It's until now best focus extension for me.

Useful extension that can couple with Freedom! "Focus -- On Your Work" makes it easier to use useful/productive sites but limit access to other sites. I like the use of the PIN to get access to other sites, if needed.

Hey Gavin! That's great to hear. It certainly can be a useful companion to Freedom. Thanks for sharing your feedback!
