Which sites can I block?
Any website — YouTube, Reddit, Twitter/X, Instagram, TikTok, news sites, or custom URLs. You can also block entire domains or specific subpages.
What is the Pomodoro technique?
The Pomodoro technique uses timed work sessions (typically 25 minutes) followed by short breaks. FocusGuard's built-in timer guides you through these intervals to maximize focus.
Can I still access blocked sites in an emergency?
Yes. The free version allows easy unblocking anytime. Pro's strict mode makes it harder to bypass blocks during active sessions — ideal if you need extra self-discipline.
Is my browsing data private?
Your focus stats stay on the device. Your block list, whitelist, schedules, and settings sync across your devices through your own Chrome account — there is no FocusGuard server holding your data.
