Study Buddy

Pomodoro timer and website blocker for better focus sessions

Study Buddy is a customizable pomodoro timer and website blocker. If you find yourself getting distracted during work sessions, this is the extension for you! With Study Buddy, you can set custom length work and break timers, and mark certain websites to be blocked or unblocked during work sessions. This tool will help you stay focused and on task whenever you need to be! How to Use: Enter lengths for both timers (work defaults to 25:00, break defaults to 10:00), and press start! Study Buddy blocks every website by default, so either visit a site you'd like to unblock and press 'Unblock Site' in the overlay or type the website's URL into the field in the 'Allowed Sites' tab of the extension. Study Buddy will alert you when the timer ends completely and when it switches from work to break (or vice versa) so don't worry about constantly checking the time! The remaining time will also be shown as a badge in next to the extension's icon, so be sure to pin Study Buddy to see that. Customization: In the options page, you can choose between blocklist/allowlist page blocking behavior, as well as whether or not blocked sites are automatically muted. You can also choose whether you'd like to input timer lengths in minute:second or hour:minute format for those longer focus sessions. Want fun colors? You can customize all four button colors to anything you'd like! Going for a monochrome black/white look? The power is yours! Study Buddy's features: - Timer - Website Blocker - Task timer - Workflows - Auto Block - Pomodoro - Light/Dark theme - Auto Mute - Reverse Pomodoro - Color Customization Privacy: Study Buddy does NOT collect any analytics data and will never ask you for any personal information. Study Buddy uses the URL's of the websites you visit for blocking functionality, but that data is stored ONLY in your browser and is visible to no one but you.
