What StayFocusd does
StayFocusd gives you a fixed amount of time each day to spend on sites you choose, like social media or news sites. Once your allowance runs out, the extension blocks those sites for the rest of the day. It's a middle ground between an outright blocker and no restrictions at all, letting you check a site briefly without falling into an endless scroll.
StayFocusd free vs paid
StayFocusd has no paid tier; every feature, including the time allowance settings, Active Days scheduling, and the Nuclear Option, is available for free. This makes it a good starting point if you want to try time-based blocking without any commitment or upsell.
Is StayFocusd safe?
StayFocusd needs to read the URLs you visit in order to know when to apply your time limits, which is standard for this category of extension. All settings are stored locally in your browser rather than on a remote account, so there's no sign-in step and less data leaves your machine.
