Website Blocker: Block Any Site with SimpleBlocksite

About

SimpleBlocksite is a lightweight Chrome extension that lets you block sites or set daily time limits in seconds. No signup, no paywall, no learning curve. Just pick a site, choose how to handle it, and get back to what matters.
You shouldn't need a 20-minute setup to stop checking social media. And sometimes you don't want to block a site entirely; you just want to spend less time on it. That's why SimpleBlocksite offers two modes that work together.

🛠️ How It Works

Type a domain or pick one from the popular sites list with a single click.
Choose your mode: Block to cut access completely, or Daily Limit to set an allowed time (30 min, 45 min, 4 hours, you decide).
That's it. The site is handled. Get back to work.

✨ Features

⚡ The Dual Power: Block & Limit: Most extensions only let you block, we give you both options. Hard-block a site so it's completely inaccessible, or set a daily time limit so you can still use it responsibly. Switch between modes anytime.
📋 Visual Blocklist: your sites appear in a clean list with favicons, status badges, and today's usage at a glance. Add, remove, or edit any entry in a couple of clicks. Each limited site shows a progress bar so you always know where you stand.
🖱️ One-Click Popular Sites: Don't feel like typing? We include quick-add buttons for the most commonly blocked sites.
📊 Browsing Statistics: A built-in statistics page shows your total browsing time, daily average, top visited site, top category, sites visited count, and a 7-day usage chart. Real numbers that help you understand your habits without any third-party tracking.
🕐 Customizable Schedules: Set up a blocking schedule so sites are only restricted during your work or study hours. Outside those times, everything stays accessible. You define when discipline kicks in.
🔔 Smart Notifications: When you're running low on time for a limited site, SimpleBlocksite sends a notification before you hit zero. Choose how far in advance (e.g., 5 minutes before) so you can wrap up instead of getting cut off mid-sentence.
🔀 Custom Redirects: Set a custom redirect URL in settings to land on any page you choose, whether that's your task manager, a motivational page, or your company intranet.
💾 Backup & Restore: Export all your settings, blocklists, and data with one click. Restore from a backup file when switching devices or after a reinstall. Your setup travels with you.
⏸️ Inactivity Timeout: We stop tracking browsing time after a period of inactivity (configurable from 1 to 20 minutes) so your stats stay accurate even if you walk away from your desk.
🎵 Background Media Tracking: Tabs playing audio or video in the background still count toward your daily limits. No loopholes.

Your Privacy, Fully Respected
No accounts, no registration, no analytics sent to our servers. Everything (your blocklist, your stats, your settings) is stored locally on your device and never leaves it.

Whether you're working, studying, or just trying to build healthier screen habits, SimpleBlocksite adapts to your routine.
