BlockSite: Focus & Productivity Browser Extension & App

Block distracting websites and apps, stay focused with BlockSite, a browser extension and app that works across all major browsers and devices to restrict access during set times or schedules.

What is BlockSite?

BlockSite is a productivity software program designed to help users avoid distractions and stay focused while using the internet. It functions as a browser extension (for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.) and also as a mobile app (iOS and Android).

The core feature of BlockSite is the ability for users to block certain websites and apps that tend to be distracting or reduce productivity (social media sites, gaming sites, news sites, etc.). Users can create custom block lists and schedules - for example, blocking Facebook and YouTube during working hours Monday to Friday.

Once a site is blocked, users cannot access it until the blocking is disabled or the scheduled block period expires. BlockSite works across all browsers and devices signed into the same account, providing a unified blocking experience.

In addition to manual blocking and scheduling, BlockSite has productivity features like focus timers that lock sites for a set period of time. It generates detailed reports showing how much time is spent on blocking and allowed sites. There is also a nuclear option that blocks literally every website for extreme distraction-free focus.

With its combination of custom site blocking, scheduling, usage analytics, and cross-platform consistency, BlockSite aims to be an all-in-one productivity solution to minimize digital distractions, stay focused, and promote good browsing habits.
