Show HN: Focus Warden – Block sites, set time limits, and micro-learn

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/focus-warden/chgkcjgkhgcajpndkpibgbpglempcegb
1•EdwardK1•2h ago
I built Focus Warden, a Chrome extension for people who want more control over how they spend time online.

The core features: - Block specific sites or entire categories (Social Media, News, Gaming) with one toggle - Set daily time limits per site — hard limits or soft limits with a snooze - Deep Focus mode that blocks everything except your whitelist; exiting early requires typing a custom phrase (default: "get distracted") - Micro-learning unlocks: earn extra time on a blocked site by completing a short learning resource you define yourself - Usage dashboard showing daily time spent per site - Global tab cap (default 20) to reduce tab hoarding

Everything runs locally. No accounts, no servers, no analytics — your data never leaves your device.

The micro-learning unlock was the feature I found most interesting to design. Rather than just punishing distraction, it gives you a productive off-ramp. You define the resource yourself, so it stays relevant to what you're actually trying to learn.

Happy to answer questions or take feedback.
