The Social Media Distraction Problem

Social media platforms employ thousands of engineers specifically working on engagement — keeping you scrolling. When you "quickly check" one platform, the average session lasts 30-50 minutes.

2 hours 27 minutes daily — average social media usage worldwide (DataReportal 2024)
$100B+ invested in engagement algorithms designed to hold your attention
Dopamine loops — likes, comments, and notifications trigger reward pathways
Infinite scroll — no natural stopping point means no natural break

Willpower alone doesn't work against billion-dollar engagement machines. You need a technical barrier. FocusGuard makes social media physically inaccessible during focus time — no decision fatigue, no temptation.

Sites FocusGuard Can Block

Add any of these to your FocusGuard block list:

Instagram — instagram.com (feed, stories, reels, DMs)

TikTok — tiktok.com (For You page, following, discover)
Reddit — reddit.com (all subreddits, comments, front page)
YouTube — youtube.com (videos, shorts, subscriptions)
