Focusly — ADHD Website Blocker Stop doomscrolling. Not with hard blocks — with friction. Focusly is a Chrome extension designed for ADHD brains. Instead of blocking websites completely, it adds a brief friction pause before you access distracting sites. This gives your brain a moment to reflect: "Do I really need this right now?" How it works: 1. Add distracting sites to your blocklist (or use popular presets like Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok) 2. When you visit a blocked site, Focusly shows a friction overlay with a countdown timer 3. Write why you want to visit the site (minimum character requirement) 4. Decide: go back to what you were doing, or proceed with awareness Key Features: • 3 friction levels — Light (10s), Medium (30s), Intense (60s) • Blocklist with popular site presets • Stats dashboard — streak, cancelled visits, reflected visits, time saved • 7-day bar chart showing your progress • Strict Mode — password protection + schedule, prevents removing sites or bypassing friction • Privacy-first — all data stays in your browser, nothing is sent anywhere • Beautiful, modern UI with smooth animations • Incognito mode support Free tier: Up to 3 blocked sites Pro tier: Unlimited sites + Strict Mode Built with love for the ADHD community.
