ADHD makes it harder to resist impulsive clicks. FocusGuard removes the choice entirely — distracting sites simply don't load. Non-punitive, positive reinforcement, flexible timers starting at just 5 minutes.
🧠 Get FocusGuard FreeADHD affects executive function — the brain's ability to resist impulses, manage attention, and stay on task. When your brain says "just check Reddit for a second," it's not a willpower failure — it's how ADHD works.
A website blocker externalizes executive function. Instead of your brain having to fight the impulse every time, the tool simply makes the site unavailable. The decision is made once (when you start a session), not hundreds of times throughout the day.
Many website blockers are designed for neurotypical users — they use shame, punishment, or inflexible rules that don't work with ADHD. FocusGuard is different:
| Strategy | Timer | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Micro-blocks | 5-10 min | Low motivation days, getting started |
| Pomodoro | 25 min | Standard work tasks |
| Hyperfocus support | 2-4 hours | When you're "in the zone" — block interruptions |
| Full workday | 8 hours | High-stakes deadlines |
Pro tip for ADHD: Start with the shortest session that feels doable. Success builds momentum. A completed 5-minute session is better than an abandoned 2-hour one.
FocusGuard is designed with ADHD in mind. It uses timer-based blocking (starting at just 5 minutes), positive reinforcement through puppy rescue missions, and doesn't punish you for ending sessions early. It removes the need for constant impulse control by making sites simply unavailable. Free Chrome extension, no credit card needed.
ADHD makes impulse control difficult. A website blocker externalizes that function — instead of fighting "should I check Twitter?" 50 times/day, the decision is made once when you start a session. Distracting sites physically don't load, removing the constant executive function drain.
Absolutely. FocusGuard supports sessions as short as 5 minutes. Start with what feels manageable — even micro-blocks build momentum and puppy rescue progress. Many ADHD users start at 10 minutes and gradually increase as they build the habit.
FocusGuard doesn't punish you. End anytime — your progress is saved, puppy rescue missions continue. The tool supports you; it doesn't shame you. Any focus time, even 3 minutes, is progress worth celebrating.
Non-punitive, positive, and flexible. Start with just 5 minutes. Free forever for basic blocking.
