  FocusGuard helps you stay productive by blocking distracting websites. Build better browsing habits with customizable block rules, focus sessions, and detailed statistics.
  
    KEY FEATURES (Free):
    • Block up to 10 websites with domain, wildcard, or regex patterns
    • 4 block actions: breathing exercise, custom message, redirect, or full block
    • Focus mode timer (15 min to 2 hours) with visual countdown
    • Schedule-based blocking — set active hours and days
    • Preset categories: SNS, video, news, shopping, games
    • Daily block statistics with charts
    • Dark mode and system theme support
    • Language switching: English / Japanese (in-app toggle)
    • Breathing exercise — 45-second guided pause before accessing blocked sites
  
    PRO FEATURES:
    • Unlimited block rules
    • Whitelist — allow specific sites even when blocking is active
    • Time limits — set daily usage caps per site
    • Advanced statistics — weekly and monthly reports with heatmap

    • Password lock — protect settings from unauthorized changes
    • Nuclear option — lock all settings for a set period

    HOW IT WORKS:
    1. Add sites to your block list from the popup or settings page
    2. Choose a block action (breathing exercise recommended)
    3. Start a focus session or set a schedule
    4. FocusGuard monitors browsing and intervenes when you visit blocked sites
  
    PRIVACY:
    Your block lists, schedules, and statistics stay on your device. Only anonymous usage analytics (install, update events) are sent via Google Analytics. No browsing history or personal data is collected. 
  
    Switch between English and Japanese anytime from the popup footer or Settings > Language. No browser restart required.

  🎯 "Just 5 more minutes" turns into an hour. FocusGuard breaks that loop.
  
  FocusGuard is a Chrome extension that blocks distracting sites and keeps you in deep work. The moment you try to open social media or a video site, it makes you pause and decide whether you really need that visit.
