The Website Blocker Built for Students
Every assignment now requires the same machine that plays every distraction ever made. You open a tab to research the essay; forty minutes later you're deep in a feed you don't remember choosing. The library used to do this job by being boring. Your laptop refuses to be boring.
How Focus AI fits this fight
- ✔Name the assignment, pick a duration, lock in: the AI blocks everything that doesn't serve that piece of work
- ✔Lectures, docs, library databases and course tools stay open; feeds, Shorts and games do not
- ✔The LOCKED IN pill follows you on every page with the countdown, so the session is never out of sight
- ✔Escape attempts get intercepted and counted, which turns resisting into a game you can win
Lock in. For real this time.
First 3 sessions free, 30 seconds to set up. Type what you're working on and let the AI hold the door.

Frequently asked questions
Will it block the sites I need for research?
No. The AI reads each page against your stated task, so a Reddit thread about your exact homework question passes while r/all gets blocked. That's the difference from list-based blockers.
Does it work on a Chromebook?
On personal Chromebooks, yes, exactly like desktop Chrome. School-managed Chromebooks usually restrict extension installs to admins.
Is it free?
Your first 3 focus sessions are free, then $9.99 a month or $49 a year if it earns a place in your routine.
