Focus - On Your Work

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 doesn't work. Lags on adding or removing sites, it hung my Chrome on Mac M1

Hi there! That's so great to hear! Thank you so much for the 5-star review. 🙌

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.

Hi there Areeba! So sorry to hear that you ran into some trouble with the Focus extension. We haven't been able to reproduce similar results. Please don't hesitate to email our support team at support@freedom.to and we can collect some more information so our team can look into it. Thanks!

It's been really useful. Helps not to get stuck on websites that are not too useful

Hey Arseniy! Thank you so much for your awesome 5-star review! We’re happy to help you block distracting websites, stay focused & be more productive. Our goal at Freedom is to help you make more time for the things that matter – thanks for helping us achieve that!

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.

Hi there and thank you so much for your review! If you have any more details about this problem please email us at support@freedom.to. We'd be happy to look into this further. Thanks!

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!

Good overall design, but it keeps disabling itself so I have to re-enable it every time I visit a site. Kind of defeats the point. If it worked more consistently it'd be great. I like the option to enter the PIN to allow access, because sometimes you forget to add a site to your allowed list.

Hi Britt! This problem has been fixed with our latest update to the extension. Thanks again!

Its nice. But it block sites that are on the "whitelist" which is kind of frustrating.
