Block Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, Discord, TikTok — every distraction, every app, every browser — for the hours you actually need to get something done. Free, forever. No account.
Download — $0 foreverThe average college student spends over 4 hours a day on distracting websites and apps. That's ~500 hours a semester — roughly three full courses worth of time — going to a feed that doesn't care about you.
It's not a moral failing. The average YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok feed is optimised by hundreds of engineers whose full-time job is to hold your attention. You are one person with a part-time prefrontal cortex going up against billion-dollar systems designed to win.
The only winning move is not to play. Not through willpower. Through the site literally not loading.
Block all social media + games until the day after your last exam. Cannot unlock early. Cannot uninstall. One commitment, one week, done.
Block Reddit, Twitter, YouTube Mon-Fri 9 AM – 6 PM with a random-text unlock for the rare legitimate exception. Friction high enough to finish the chapter.
Start a 25-minute lock before each focus block. By minute 3, the urge to check a phone disappears because it can't.
Block Steam, League, Valorant, and whatever else pulls you in — Mon-Thurs entirely. Weekends are fair game.
Block stimulating sites/apps from 10 PM. Sleep improves within a week. Morning brain works better without the first-thing-dopamine hit.
Allow only your course platforms (Canvas, Notion, Overleaf, docs). Everything else is blocked by default. Hard to wander off.
Late-night brain looks for the uninstall button first. FocusDragon blocks uninstall during active locks — one more layer between you and your worst decision.
Opening Firefox doesn't save you. Other browsers are force-quit if the extension isn't heartbeating. Incognito is killed on sight.
Web blockers that don't touch Steam are missing the point. The process-killer terminates blocked apps within 1.5 seconds of launch.
$40/year blockers feel insulting when you're choosing between a textbook and groceries. FocusDragon is free because it should be.
FocusDragon is free forever with no account, no subscription, and no feature gates. It was built by a student in Dubai who needed a blocker he couldn't afford to pay for and couldn't bypass during a weak moment. Every lock type is unlocked from day one.
Use FocusDragon's preset Social Media category — one click blocks 20+ sites and their native apps. Pair it with a schedule (Mon-Fri 8 AM – 5 PM) so it activates automatically during study hours without you having to remember.
Add the games to the block list and use a date lock set to the day after your last final. FocusDragon's process-killer terminates games within 1.5 seconds of launch, so even if you forget the lock is on, the game won't open.
No. FocusDragon is written natively in Swift, installs at around 6 MB, and uses less than 0.1% CPU on average. It's been built to be battery-friendly so it doesn't become a reason to close it.
