Best Focus Tools Alternatives in 2026

About Focus Tools

I built Focus Tools for myself because I needed help staying focused — then figured, why not share it? Completely free, no ads, no tracking. Just a tool that does what it says. Block distracting websites and take control of your social media experience. Focus Tools lets you block any website — manually, by keyword, or using community-maintained blocklists. For popular social media sites, you can selectively hide distracting elements like feeds, recommendations, shorts, and comments without fully blocking the site. Key features: - Block any website by URL, domain, or keyword - Community blocklists for adult content, gambling, and misinformation (powered by StevenBlack/hosts) - Filter mode: hide specific UI elements on social media — feeds, reels, comments, sidebars, and more (40+ toggles across 7 platforms) - Three modes per site: Allow, Filter, or Block - Grayscale mode to make sites less appealing - Weekly schedule: automatically enable/disable blocking by day and time - Anti-impulse countdown timer that delays disabling — with optional confirmation step and timer freeze when the popup closes - Password lock to protect your settings and popup from being changed - Block the extensions page to prevent quick-disabling the extension - Custom redirect URL — send blocked sites to any page you choose - Motivational quotes on the blocked page to keep you inspired Available in 12 languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Hebrew, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and auto-detect — with full RTL support for Arabic and Hebrew - All data stored locally — no accounts, no tracking, no data collection Works on Chrome, Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers.
