ReclaimFocus

Block distracting sites, cap browsing time, filter keywords, schedule reminders, and reach focus. 100% local, no tracking.

ReclaimFocus is a focus and discipline system for your browser. It blocks what pulls you off course, caps the time you give to distractions, filters search keywords, schedules the work that matters, and respects your privacy completely. No accounts. No servers. No tracking. Everything is stored locally in your browser, and the controls are entirely in your hands. KEY FEATURES 1. Website Blocking • Block any website and redirect to a destination of your choice • One-click "Block This Site" for the page you are currently on • A "Tabs" picker fills the domain field from any of your open tabs • Each blocked site can route to its own redirect destination 2. Redirects • A dedicated tab to manage your personal list of redirect destinations • Add, edit, rename, and delete entries • The list powers a dropdown wherever a redirect URL is needed • Custom URLs you type are saved automatically, with an optional friendly name • Editing a saved redirect rewrites every place that referenced its previous URL 3. Time-Limited Browsing • Cap your time on a site (for example, 30 minutes of browsing, then a 60-minute cooldown) • A one-time extra-time extension can be granted before cooldown kicks in • Active timer card and cooldown bar show exactly how much time you have left • Timer pauses when the tab is not active • Timer does not consume time while the extension is toggled off • Domain-based system prevents multi-tab exploitation • Timers persist across browser restarts 4. Keyword Blocking with Deep Page Scan • Filter search queries by keyword across the search engines you use • Word-boundary matching (blocks "game" but not "gameplay" or "gamer") • Per-keyword redirect or a global fallback • Optional deep page scan checks the actual content of a page after it loads, so a keyword appearing inside an article triggers a redirect too 5. Task Scheduling • Schedule URLs to open automatically at specific times • Live countdown timers showing time remaining • Daily, weekday, or weekly recurrence • Priority levels (Low, Medium, High) drive notification urgency and sort order • High-priority notifications require interaction before they dismiss • Optional system notifications when tasks execute • URL field uses the same redirect picker, so you can pick from your saved destinations or save a new one inline • Tasks persist across browser restarts 6. Subtle In-Page Notifications • A small, isolated toast appears in the corner of the destination page whenever the extension blocks or redirects you • Color-coded by reason (blocked, cooldown, time-limit, keyword) • Shadow-DOM isolated so it cannot conflict with host-page styling • Auto-dismisses in about three seconds 7. Zen Mode • Fullscreen meditation environment with a starry night sky • Twinkling stars and occasional shooting stars • Multi-layered ambient soundscape • Rotating inspirational quotes • Volume controls and keyboard shortcuts (ESC to exit, F11 for fullscreen) • Perfect for meditation breaks and stress relief 8. Activity Logs • Clean card layout with type icons and color-coded chips • Relative timestamps with full date on hover • Today and total counters • Export logs as JSON 9. About Page • Open from Settings to read the philosophy behind the extension • Privacy commitment, version info, and developer links • Lives inside the popup, no external page to load 10. Dark Mode, Import / Export, Reset • Full dark theme with one-click toggle • Backup your complete configuration as JSON • Restore on another device or revert to defaults at any time WHY RECLAIMFOCUS • Comprehensive: blocking, time management, keyword filtering, and task scheduling in one extension • Mindful: controlled access, not just hard blocking • Fair: timers only count active browsing time • Exploit-proof: domain-based timers prevent multi-tab cheating • Private: zero data collection, everything stays on your device • Clean: no ads, no upsells, no telemetry • Lightweight: optimized for low resource usage PRIVACY FIRST • Zero data collection • No external servers • No tracking or analytics • All data stored locally on your device • Open source on GitHub PERFECT FOR • Students fighting procrastination • Remote workers maintaining focus and managing meeting schedules • Anyone working to break a social-media habit • Professionals juggling deep work and digital distractions • Meditation practitioners who need quick mindfulness breaks • Teams coordinating scheduled activities HOW TO USE 1.
