THE SMALL LOOP THAT STEALS BIG TIME
“I only opened it for a minute.”
One intentional detourcan turn that reflex into progress.
Simple by design
Three steps from impulse
to intention.
You stay in control. FocusDetour simply remembers the plan when your attention forgets.
Set a useful detour
Pair each distracting site with a destination that moves you forward—your DSA course, reading list, or project board.
Use your daily allowance
You still get 10 intentional minutes. When the allowance ends, FocusDetour redirects the next visit automatically.
Built for real habits
Structure that supports you—not fights you.
FocusDetour adds a small pause between autopilot and action, without turning your browser into a punishment.
10 minutesDefault daily social allowance
Gentle, not extreme
Keep a small daily allowance instead of blocking everything immediately.
Your rules
Create different productive destinations for different distracting websites.
Fresh start daily
Usage resets each day so yesterday never becomes a permanent penalty.
Private by design
Rules and usage stay in Chrome. No account, analytics, ads, or data selling.
Privacy without detours
Your focus data stays yours.
Everything FocusDetour needs—your rules, settings, and daily usage—stays locally in your browser. We do not collect, sell, share, or analyze it.
Good to know
Questions, answered.
Does FocusDetour block social media completely?+
No. You choose a daily allowance—10 minutes by default. After it is used, visits follow your productive redirect rule.
Can I choose my own destination?+
Yes. Each rule can point to the exact learning page, task list, documentation, or project you want to open instead.
Does it track my browsing history?+
No. FocusDetour only checks the active tab URL to match your rules. It does not collect or transmit your browsing history.
Productive redirects
Your next distraction
can become your next step.
