Overview

WriteScholar Focus Mode blocks distracting websites until you answer study questions or solve a puzzle. You can't scroll until you've studied.

HOW IT WORKS

1. PICK SITES TO BLOCK — Choose any website to block. Free: 3 sites. Pro: 20 sites. Premium: unlimited.

2. ANSWER TO UNLOCK — When you try to visit a blocked site, you're redirected to unlock it. Solve a quick puzzle (Sudoku, Memory, or Pattern) or answer study questions from your own WriteScholar notes. Get enough right to unlock access.

3. ENJOY YOUR BREAK — The site stays unlocked for 5 minutes to 24 hours (you choose). When time's up, study again to earn more. The block returns automatically—no refresh needed.

FEATURES
• Chrome extension — works directly in your browser
• Two unlock options — puzzles (no notes needed) or study quiz from your WriteScholar material
• Custom timer — set unlock duration from 5 minutes to 24 hours
• Block any site — popular presets plus custom domains
• Customizable quiz — choose 5, 10, or 15 questions and set your pass threshold
• Settings sync — when signed in at writescholar.com, your block list and preferences sync across devices

Requires a WriteScholar.com account. Install the extension, log in at writescholar.com, and add your blocked sites.

Perfect for students who want to stay focused and earn their screen time.
