Starve your distractions.
Feed your focus.
Focus Assistant is a professional-grade browser extension engineered to automatically group your tabs, brutally block distracting websites, and force you into a state of deep work.
Focus Mode Active
"The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus."
This site is restricted during your dedicated focus hours.
Designed for Maximum Productivity
Every feature is purpose-built to eliminate friction, enforce your intentions, and protect your most valuable asset — your attention.
Scheduled Focus Mode
Set a custom start and end time for your deep work sessions. During those hours, blocked sites redirect to a calming full-screen page. Midnight crossover is handled intelligently for night-shift workers.
Smart Auto-Grouping
Every tab is automatically analyzed and grouped by category in real time — silently, in the background. Open GitHub? Instantly snapped into "Development". Reddit? Lands in "Social Media", already collapsed.
Fully Customizable Categories
Ships with 4 default categories: Social Media, Video & Entertainment, Work/Development, and News. Rename, delete, or create new ones — add unlimited domains. Every change takes effect instantly.
Right-Click Quick-Add
Stumble onto a new time-sink? Simply right-click anywhere on the page and inject the current domain into any of your categories. Takes less than two seconds. Works on any website.
Forgiving Mode Bypasses
Need urgent access? A "Take a Breath" button triggers a 5-second guided breathing animation — making you pause before proceeding. Grants 1 minute of access, strictly limited to one bypass per 5-hour period per domain.
Distraction Shield Counter
A live counter tracks exactly how many times Focus Assistant has blocked a distraction today. Resets at midnight — your daily productivity scoreboard, giving you raw proof of how hard your shield is working.
In-Browser Alert Banners
Elegant bottom-right sliding notification banners fire when your focus session begins, when it's 5 minutes from ending (with a 30-minute extension option), and when a site is added. Paired with synthesized audio pings via the Web Audio API — zero external dependencies.
Dynamic Motivational Quotes
Every blocked page loads a freshly randomized motivational quote from a curated productivity-focused collection. Keeps the blocking experience positive and intentional rather than punishing.
4 Intelligent Default Categories
Ready to use out of the box. Fully editable. Infinitely extensible.
Social Media
Video & Entertainment
Work / Development
News
Set it and forget it.
Define Your Block Hours
Configure exactly what hours of the day you intend to execute deep work. Midnight crossover supported out of the box.
Map The Distractions
Preload domains into the 4 default categories, create custom ones, or inject new sites on the fly using the right-click context menu.
Enter Maximum Velocity
Once focus hours trigger, the shield slams shut. Blocked sites redirect instantly. Your tabs auto-group into a clean workspace. Banners fire. The counter runs.
Stay Human with Forgiving Mode
Genuinely need in? Take a breath — literally. Complete the 5-second mindfulness exercise for 1 minute of access. One use per domain per 5 hours. No loopholes.
Privacy First — 100% Local & Offline
Focus Assistant operates entirely on your device. No accounts. No servers. No telemetry. No data is ever transmitted externally. All your settings, schedules, categories, and statistics live exclusively in your browser's built-in storage API — yours alone, forever.
Our Philosophy
We believe your time is the most valuable asset you have. In an age of infinite scrolling and weaponized algorithms, radical measures are necessary to protect your attention and foster deep, meaningful work. Focus Assistant isn't just a tool; it's a commitment to your own potential.
