"Just five more minutes" never is.

Infinite feeds are designed to keep you scrolling. Willpower alone loses that fight β€” visible boundaries win it.

You open one video…

…and surface 45 minutes later wondering what happened. Autoplay, Shorts and Reels are built to make time disappear.

You check out of habit

Most visits to distracting sites aren't decisions β€” they're reflexes. Your fingers type the URL before your brain catches up.

You can't see the cost

Minutes here and there feel harmless. Added up across a week, it's often a whole working day β€” invisible until you measure it.

One monkey. Eight ways to protect your focus.

Start gentle with awareness and limits, escalate to hard blocks when a site doesn't deserve negotiation.

Daily time limits

Give every distracting site a daily budget. When it's spent, the site is done for the day.

Smart schedules

Apply limits only when they matter β€” work hours, study blocks, evenings. Free time stays free.

Floating timer

A subtle on-page countdown keeps remaining time visible, so the limit never surprises you.

Hard blocklist

Some sites just need to be off. Block them completely β€” no countdown, no exceptions.

Impulse check

A short, mindful pause before a distracting site opens. Most reflex visits end right there.

Usage statistics

Daily and weekly trends show exactly where your attention goes β€” and where it leaks.

Feed cleaner

Hide Shorts, Reels, recommendations and other attention traps while keeping the parts you need.

Monkey Shield

Extra protection for your focus sessions, so a moment of weakness can't undo your settings.

Set up in three steps. Keep it forever.

No account, no onboarding maze. You'll have your first limit running in about two minutes.

Before you install

Quick answers to the questions people ask most.

Is Monkey Block really free?

Yes β€” the core features (limits, blocking, statistics, impulse check) are free and require no account. You can install it and set your first limit right away.

Does it block every website automatically?

No. You stay in control: only the sites you add are tracked, limited, cleaned, or blocked. Everything else browses exactly as before.

What happens to my data?

Your browsing data and statistics stay in your browser. Monkey Block doesn't need an account and doesn't sell your attention β€” that's the whole point.

Can I set different limits for different sites?

Yes. Each site gets its own daily budget, and schedules let you decide when limits apply β€” strict during work hours, relaxed in the evening.

Does it work outside Google Chrome?

Monkey Block works on Chrome and Chromium-based browsers like Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, and Arc.

What if I just disable the extension when I'm tempted?

That's what Monkey Shield is for β€” it adds friction to protect your focus sessions from your own moments of weakness.

The scroll can wait. Your life can't.

Install Monkey Block, add your three biggest time-thieves, and feel the difference by tonight.
