SiteCop Extension

SiteCop is a light and sharp extension made to protect us from those life-draining websites that make us waste hours on them through no fault of our own. It features 3 different option-rich timed lists to block websites and a bonus Pomodoro option. It has features you always wanted in other extensions, and is free with no ads.

SiteCop also has a pair of sliders that let you set a range of time for sites to be timed or free. Want to only block during 9-5 with a free hour for lunch at noon, or just allow access to Hulu and Netflix from 6-10? It’s as easy as clicking your mouse.

If you would like to help translate this extension to different languages to help more people or have some features that you’d like to see in the future then please feel free to contact me. Thanks for reading this and for using my app!

PRIVACY POLICY: This app saves NO browsing or personal data of any kind. SiteCop only stores the sites you enter into the blocked lists.

Sanchit (ID: 000000dc5af94fb1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/09/2018 Good extension. Too bad you can just disable it by right clicking the icon and clicking "Remove.." (not a fault of developer though). Guess these apps are like traffic lights.. of course you can jump 'em but do it own on your own peril. Anyway, as far as the ext goes, it works great. I wish there was a way to customize the warning message like "You better be working. Jesus isn't going to be happy if you don't get it done today" or something..

Halfdan Holm (ID: 000000953efaeaa7) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/16/2017 Good but buggy. Sometimes the right side of the window doesn't show, and mouse movements are thus also recorded with an offset. Maybe related to when the window is on a secondary display

Jen Lipschitz (ID: 0000000ecd42943d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/17/2017 I love/hate this extension. I was losing track of JUST how badly I was getting distracted each day, so I like that I can set my "naughty" list and a total daily time limit for those sites (during "work" hours only) and it ensures that I don't dive off the deep end with distractions.

Alessandro Pessina (ID: 000000e5a16c09f0) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/21/2017 some bugs to be corrected (sometimes the interface is not responding and requires reinstallation) but in general a very good app
