Present

Present helps you stay focused and mindful of how you spend your time online.

You open Chrome to work. An hour later, you’re deep in Reddit. That’s not just a willpower issue. Browsers are designed to pull attention: endless scroll, recommendations, and one-click “just checking” tabs. A lot of blockers respond with a blank error page, which is easy to ignore, override, or resent. Present takes a different approach: it limits or blocks distracting sites, and when you hit the limit it routes you to a Focus Room instead of a dead end. Here’s how it works: 1. Set rules once - 12 categories, 2,700+ mapped domains (social, video, news, gaming, shopping, crypto, and more) - For each category: `Allow` (no limits), `Limit` (daily time cap), or `Protect` (hard block) - Add your own sites and set exceptions (whitelist domains) 2. Stay aware while you browse - On limited sites, a live timer banner shows how much time you have left 3. When time’s up, use the Focus Room - Instead of an error page, you land in a Focus Room with 133 ambient scenes (video + synced audio) - Built-in timers (standard sessions or Pomodoro) - Optional bells, plus a place to write what you’re focusing on 4. Check your patterns - Daily totals, 7-day trends, category breakdowns - One-click reset if you want to start fresh Also: - Optional New Tab override (new tabs can open the Focus Room) - Timer durations from 5 minutes to 3 hours, plus custom - 6 bell sounds with repeat intervals you choose - Rotating focus quotes and saved focus history - Timer state can persist even if you close the Focus Room - No account required; data stays local in your browser From the maker of TimeWarp (2013, 15,000+ users). Rebuilt from scratch. Present is a website blocker plus a focus space, designed to make “time’s up” feel like a redirect, not a punishment.
