Notification Mute & Focus Hours — Quiethours

About

Quiethours — Scheduled Focus Mode for Chrome

Stop context-switching. Quiethours lets you define recurring focus blocks — and when those blocks are active, it automatically applies a site overlay to keep you on track.

Set it once. Let it run every week.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Q: Does Quiethours block websites completely?
A: Quiethours applies a visual overlay to remind you you're in focus mode. It does not hard-block access — you can dismiss the overlay if needed.

Q: Does it work when Chrome is closed?
A: Focus rules use Chrome Alarms, which require Chrome to be running in the background. Chrome itself does not need to be in the foreground.

Q: Can I pause a focus session mid-way?
A: Yes. Disable the rule toggle in the popup at any time to end the session early.

Q: Will it interfere with video calls or other work tools?
A: No. Quiethours does not block network requests — it only adds a UI overlay. All web apps continue to function normally.

Q: Is my schedule shared with anyone?
A: No. Your focus schedule is stored exclusively on your device using Chrome's local storage. Nothing is sent to any server.
