StayFocusd

$extensionName$ increases your productivity by limiting the amount of time that you can spend on time-wasting websites.
'StayFocusd' is an Edge add-on that maximizes productivity by restricting time spent on unproductive websites. Once users exhaust their daily limit on designated websites, these sites become inaccessible, encouraging work over distraction. With various configurations, 'StayFocusd' allows users to block or allow entire sites, specific subdomains, paths, pages, and even in-page content. No personal data is collected or transmitted, and preferred settings can be synced across multiple computers through Google Sync.

Huge potential for stopping procrastination. One major problem with this extension is it doesn't always reset after the deadline. This is highly frustrating as I do feel I am following this but for the timer to not reset for 2 days is highly frustrating. This has huge potential to be fantastic and if this is fixed I will update to 5 stars

Request from the creators of this tool to consider the following suggestion - To please provide an option to add allowed sites in the "limited settings access option". Apart from this, it is absolutely an excellent tool to protect your mind from getting distracted on the web.

I tried to increase my time limit from 3 minutes to 5, just to be able to respond to event invites on Facebook. The StayFocusd add-on intercepted my attempt to change this while I had only a couple of seconds of time left, and presented me with a grand total of about 10 sequential pop-up windows asking me at first to confirm whether I was sure I wanted to add more time to my budget, then getting more aggressive by suggesting that I'm sabotaging myself, eventually degrading through threats of nuclear warfare and killing an innocent puppy, all the way to a threat of telling my mom. 10/10
