Cold Turkey is powerful but heavy — a paid desktop app. Refocus is a free, one-click Chrome extension that blocks the sites and feeds that actually distract you, with a night schedule and a focus timer, and nothing leaves your device.

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.
Yes — Refocus blocks distracting sites and feeds for free in Chrome, with no license.
You can block whole sites, sub-pages, set daily limits and a night schedule — strict enough for most people, without the paid desktop app.
