Strict Workflow: Focus Productivity Extension

A Chrome extension to block distracting websites, helping users stay focused on tasks for set periods of time, ideal for students, remote workers, and anyone seeking productivity.

What is Strict Workflow?

Strict Workflow is a Chrome extension designed to help users improve their focus and productivity by blocking access to distracting websites. It works by allowing users to specify a list of websites they find distracting, such as social media sites, and then restricting access to those sites for designated time periods.

Users can set up multiple profiles with custom blocked sites and timed sessions based on different contexts or tasks. For example, someone could create a "Work" profile that blocks Twitter, Facebook, and news sites during regular business hours. And a "Schoolwork" profile could block entertainment sites and limit access to no more than 10 minutes per hour while studying.

Some key features of Strict Workflow include:

  • Completely custom site blocking and allowing lists
  • Flexible timed website access restrictions
  • Ability to set up multiple profiles for different contexts
  • Open access to non-blocked sites during sessions
  • Tracking of time spent on allowed sites during sessions

The extension aims to keep users focused by eliminating tempting distractions at the browser level. Strict Workflow is designed for students, remote workers, developers, or anyone who struggles with procrastination or lack of focus while working on devices. Its automated site blocking and flexible custom profiles make it easy to optimize different environments for productivity.
