Block the sites that distract you, make sure blocking is active, see what worked, and add stronger protection only when you need it.
You do not need to configure everything at once. Start with one site you open when you should be doing something else.
Open Block List, enter the website address (for example, youtube.com), and add it to your list.
If the site shows “Awaiting activation”, install or enable the Web Blocker Chrome extension. A saved site is not blocked until the extension is active.
Open the website in Chrome. If the Web Blocker block screen appears, your basic protection is working.
Web Blocker consists of two connected parts working together: your control dashboard on the web and the Chrome extension in your browser.
Use the website to manage your Block List, protection settings, analytics, notifications, voting, and other Web Blocker controls.
The extension applies your blocking rules while you browse in Chrome and renders the focus block screen when an attempt occurs.
Your Protection shows how complete your current Web Blocker setup is. It is a setup indicator — not a score of your willpower and not a promise that a restriction can never be bypassed.
Add your first distracting website to get started.
Your sites are saved, but the Chrome extension is not active. Turn it on first.
Basic blocking is working. Add a password if you want more friction.
Your setup includes a Block List, an active extension, and a password.
Use Block List for websites that repeatedly pull you away from what you intended to do.
Enter a domain such as youtube.com and add it to the list.
ON — blocking is enabled. OFF — the site stays in your list, but blocking is temporarily paused. If protected by a password, Web Blocker will ask for confirmation.
Delete removes the website from your list. Password verification may be required if active.
Web Blocker rejects invalid addresses and skips sites already present in your list.
A password is optional. Basic website blocking does not require it. Use password protection if you notice that you keep turning blocking off, deleting sites, or changing your rules in the moment.
Best when you only need a small pause before changing your own rules.
Use this when a small reminder is not enough and you often disable your own restrictions automatically.
Web Blocker separates immediate daily progress from deeper attention diagnosis so you can check your status without getting overwhelmed.
Use Daily Pulse for a quick, positive check of today’s blocking result and daily motivation.
Use Focus Audit when you want to understand distraction patterns across days and decide what to change.
Open Daily Pulse when you want to see whether your boundaries held today without analyzing complex spreadsheets.
What to do: monitor daily discipline fulfillment. The 100% bar shows that all active rules were respected today without bypasses.
What to do: view your protected session ratio. The green arc represents stopped distractions (92%), orange marks bypasses, and the badge confirms focus quality.
What to do: gauge preserved productive time. An estimate of minutes saved by stopping distraction triggers before mindless browsing began.
What to do: track intervention frequency. Counts the exact number of attempts to open restricted sites that Web Blocker successfully intercepted today.
Use Focus Audit when you want to look deeper than today’s result and understand which websites are taking your attention across days or weeks.
What to do: switch time presets with one click. Compare today's focus with your 7-day or 30-day habits, or pick a precise custom date range using the calendar.
What to do: spot heavy time drains instantly. Click the circular «+» button next to any website to immediately add it to your Block List without typing the URL.
What to do: monitor unbudgeted screen time. This card sums the hours and minutes spent strictly on domains categorized as "Distracting".
What to do: track self-control consistency. "Bypassed" counts unlocks. "Impulse Rate" (% of bypasses per visit attempts) reveals rule stability: lower percentage means stronger focus.
What to do: visually contrast domain activity across Productive, Neutral, and Distracting sites. Displays Total Screen Time and Unclassified volume side by side.
What to do: search visited domains, sort by time spent or bypasses, toggle chart comparison, and organize sites into Productive, Distracting, Neutral, or Unclassified.
Keep a secure backup copy of your rules or easily transfer your configuration between different browsers.
Export saves your current Block List as a simple text file. Use it as a backup or when you want to keep an external copy of your list.
Import adds websites from a text file back into your Block List (one site per line). Websites already in your list and invalid entries are automatically skipped.
The notification bell in the top bar keeps you informed about voting rounds, release updates, and important product notices without email spam.
A number badge on the bell means there are unread items. You can filter messages by category:
Use notifications to stay up-to-date with new feature releases, voting outcomes, and essential reminders. You can mark all as read with a single click.

Identify 2–3 websites that repeatedly distract you from work or study and add them to your list.
Start with basic blocking or add password friction only if you notice yourself undoing rules.

If a distracting website is still opening, go through this simple 5-point verification checklist:
Verify that the domain is listed under Block List in your Dashboard.
If yes, install or enable the Web Blocker Chrome extension.
Ensure the switch next to the domain name is in the active position.
Check whether the Web Blocker focus block screen appears immediately.

Web Blocker follows a local-first approach for browsing and activity data. Your Block List, raw browsing history, passwords, PIN codes, and private page content are never sent to analytics or external servers.
Start with one distracting website. You can adjust the rest when you actually need it.
