Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built Focus AI because of one support email. A student told me: “I love Focus AI, but I keep disabling it through the Chrome puzzle piece icon to procrastinate.” That changed how I thought about the product. Most website blockers assume the problem is access. Block Reddit. Block YouTube. Block X. Done. But for a lot of students, especially students with ADHD, the problem is not just access. The problem is the escape hatch. If there is a quit button, your brain will click it. If there is a browser menu to disable the extension, your brain will find it. If there is a polite “are you sure?” popup, your brain will click through it. So I rebuilt Focus AI around a different idea: What if your focus tool understood your actual task, and didn’t trust you to quit too easily? Focus AI is a Chrome extension for students who need the internet to study, but keep getting pulled off-task. You tell it what you’re working on: “Study anatomy chapter 4” “Write my chemistry lab report” “Finish my CS assignment” Then Focus AI checks the pages you visit against that task. Useful pages stay open. Distractions get blocked. No endless block lists to maintain. And when your brain starts looking for a way out, you can choose how locked in you need to be: Standard Mode: AI blocks unrelated pages Strict Mode: quitting requires friction Nuclear Mode: the quit button disappears entirely There is still one emergency unlock per session for real situations. But the normal “I’m bored, let me escape” path is gone. This is not meant to shame people for procrastinating. It is built around the reality that willpower is weakest exactly when you need it most. Would love your feedback, especially from students, ADHD folks, and anyone who has ever installed a focus blocker and immediately found a way around it.
