FocusGuard 🛡️

Silent background focus timer that blocks distracting sites system-wide. No browser extension needed — works everywhere, every browser.

Run

# Windows: run PowerShell as Administrator
# Mac/Linux: prefix with sudo
python focusguard.py 25   # 25 minute session
python focusguard.py 60   # 1 hour session

How it works

Edits your system hosts file to redirect blocked domains to 127.0.0.1. Automatically cleans up when the timer ends or you press Ctrl+C.

Edit your block list

Add or remove domains from sites.txt — one per line.

No dependencies

Pure Python standard library. Nothing to install.
