PoD(Simplest Website Blocker, Stay Focused) Extension

PoD(Price of Distraction) is the only chrome extension which could help you stay focused and improve your efficiency during pomodoro immediately. Yes. we said 'immediately'. Not like other extensions(e.g. StayFocusd) simply run as website blocker, PoD is much powerful:

- Simplest website blocker in Chrome Store
- Punish you for your distraction browsing
- Tell you which website takes most of your time, and comprehensive report of your browsing history analysis

4 simple steps to unleash your productivity:

- Download PoD(Price of Distraction)
- Add websites you want block
- Write down a secret (the secret will be revealed to your friends when you force terminate the focus timer)
- Start timer, keep focus for a 20 minutes pomodoro

You would found you won't touch the distractive websites anymore, not forced by PoD or any other extensions, but all by yourself.

Elaine Thomas (ID: 00000070b0d37606) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/17/2023 I honestly love this, it keeps me as much on track as you can for an expert procrastinator. Also for those wanting like an alarm for when their timer ends, here's what I do. I have my youtube blocked during the timer so before I turn on the timer I have a song that I put on loop and when the timers on, the song doesn't play and when the timer is finished it will automatically start playing and you will know when it's your break :)

Nicholas Consuegra (ID: 000000fa90cc12f2) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/24/2022 It doesn't send emails when the timer is terminated and I can't even change the timer. Does anyone know how to fix?

Isaiah Lawsom (ID: 000000a09916e814) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/25/2021 This app is the best extension that is focused on productivity. All the other web site blocking extensions usually come with some limit or caveat. However this one delivers all that is needed. I love the punishment or penalty of violating the timer, which is the only extension that offers something like this, at least, that's what I know from experience. A notification when the time is up would be ok, but at the same time, I like that there are no notifications. Once I get in the groove, I really don't need or want a notification to interrupt me. Thanks!
