About this extension
WebTimeout helps you stay focused by blocking distracting websites on your own terms. Block a site during set hours, give it a daily time budget, or both. When you really need a short break, a small daily snooze allowance lets you take one, without making it too easy to give up on your goals.
Whether you want to keep social media out of work hours, cap your daily video time, or stop late-night scrolling, WebTimeout gives you the tools to build healthier browsing habits.
🌟 Key Features
- Flexible Scheduling: Block sites only when you need to. Pick the days of the week and exact time windows, including overnight windows (e.g. 22:00–06:00). A rule can have several windows.
- Daily Usage Limits: Give a site a daily time budget, different for each day of the week (e.g. 30 minutes on Mondays, an hour at weekends). Once it's used up, the site is blocked until midnight. Only time you actually spend on the site counts: the tab must be in front while you're active, or playing sound.
- Time-Left Badge: While you're on a site with a daily limit, the toolbar icon shows the minutes you have left, turning amber and then red as time runs out.
- Advanced URL Matching: Block a whole site, including all its subdomains, with one rule (example.com), or target a specific section (example.com/videos). Navigation inside a page (without a reload) is caught too.
- Smart Snooze System: Temporarily lift an active block from the blocked page. For each rule, you choose how long a snooze lasts (1–15 minutes) and how many you get per day (1–3).
- Active Rule Protection: A rule that is currently blocking, or whose daily limit you've already started using today, can't be edited, disabled, or deleted. You can always switch a rule on, though.
- Import & Export: Back up your rules or move them between devices as a JSON file.
- Light & Dark Themes.
🔒 Privacy by Design
Your data is exactly that: yours. WebTimeout runs entirely on your device and makes no network requests. Your rules, schedules, usage time, and snooze history are never collected, tracked, transmitted, or shared. It only uses the permissions it needs to check pages against your rules, measure time spent on limited sites, and show the blocked page.
