Forest, but for the tab
where you actually work.

Forest is great on your phone, but the distraction is usually the browser in front of you. Refocus runs a focus timer right where you work and actually blocks the distracting sites and feeds during the session — not just a tree that dies on trust.

How it works

  1. Start a focus session; distracting sites and feeds are blocked while it runs.
  2. Block just the feed and keep the pages you need for work.
  3. 100% local, free forever, no account.

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.
