Overview

AI-powered doomscroll blocker that coaches you to build better habits. Stop wasting time, start achieving goals.

What is FocusForge? FocusForge is a Chrome extension that helps you stay focused by tracking your browsing habits, blocking distracting sites, and providing AI-powered coaching to help you build better habits. Key Features: Precise Time Tracking Track every second spent on websites with automatic, continuous monitoring. See exactly where your time goes each day. Smart Site Blocking Set daily time limits for distracting sites. Get 2-minute warnings before hitting your limit, then automatic blocking when you exceed it. Grayscale Mode Make distracting websites boring by removing all color. A simple but powerful way to reduce their appeal. Daily Reports Beautiful visualizations of your browsing patterns. Track your progress and see your improvement over time. AI Productivity Coaching (Essential Plan) Get personalized advice from Claude AI based on your browsing patterns. Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) model keeps your data private and costs only ~£0.50/month. Nuclear Option (Essential Plan) Total lockdown mode when you need extreme accountability. Block ALL distracting sites for 1 hour, 3 hours, 8 hours, or until end of day. No escape hatches, no bypassing - real commitment. Smart Interventions (Essential Plan) AI automatically detects when you're spending too much time on distracting sites and sends gentle, encouraging nudges to help you refocus. Pricing: Free Forever Time tracking Basic site blocking Warning banners Daily reports Grayscale mode Essential - £7/month Everything in Free AI Productivity Coaching (BYOK) Nuclear Option lockdown mode Smart AI interventions Weekly progress reports Pro - £12/month Everything in Essential Advanced AI analysis Email reports Custom interventions Priority support Privacy-First Approach: FocusForge uses a "Bring Your Own Key" (BYOK) model for AI features. Your Anthropic API key stays with you - we never see your data or your conversations with Claude AI. You're in complete control. Why FocusForge? Unlike other productivity tools that cost £99/year (Freedom, Opal), FocusForge offers more features at a fraction of the price. And unlike free tools (StayFocusd - abandoned in 2018), FocusForge is actively maintained with modern AI-powered features. Take back control of your time. Install FocusForge today.
