SUMMARY

Humanity collectively wastes a huge amount of time on the internet. Imagine if we could turn all the noise off?

Well you can! With one click, Focus.me will block all websites on a blacklist for a duration of time. Blocking can't be disabled until the time runs out!

Focus.me also supports manual blocking which can be turned on/off at any time.

Trying to visit a blocked page will display a motivational quote and encourage you to get back to whatever you were doing.

Features:
-Manual blocking mode which can be started or stopped at any time
-Timed blocking mode which cannot be turned off until the time runs out
-Customize the duration of time that the timed blocking lasts
-Customizable blacklist allowing for blocking on any website
-Pleasing, simple user interface - no messing with complicated configuration files!
-Default blacklist includes all common social media and 'time-wasting' websites

NEW FEATURES IN V1.1

-Plugin remembers what tab you were on, so when time expires the tab returns to the original page.
-Icon changes color based on blocking status
-New: Import and export blacklists to/from a text file!
-Various bug fixes.
