Block the news doomloop.
Keep the article you meant to read.

Refreshing the news every ten minutes is its own feed. Refocus blocks the news homepages and feeds that pull you back while leaving the specific articles you open on purpose reachable — with a night schedule for the hours it hurts most.

How it works

1. Block news homepages/feeds; keep direct article links working.
2. Set a schedule so news can't creep into your focus hours.
3. Daily limits for a hard cap. 100% local, free.

The idea: block the feed, not the site

Every other blocker is all-or-nothing. Refocus blocks just the infinite-scroll surface and keeps the messages, search and pages you actually need — so it actually holds. 100% local: no account, nothing leaves your browser. Free forever.
