A modern StayFocusd alternative.

StayFocusd blocks whole sites on a timer. Refocus goes further: it blocks just the infinite-scroll feed and keeps messages, search and the pages you need — plus a night schedule and a live focus timer. Free and fully local.

How it works

  1. Block the feed (e.g. linkedin.com/feed) instead of the whole site.
  2. Add daily limits, a night schedule, or a focus sprint.
  3. Free, no account, nothing leaves your browser.

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.
