Focus Sprints
Pick a workspace, start a 15/25/45-minute sprint. Your tabs open, distractions get blocked, and a countdown runs on your toolbar icon until it's done.
For people who open Chrome to do something
Your browser can't tell work
from Reddit. This can.
TabInsights tracks exactly where your browser time goes — then turns your biggest time-sinks into one-tap blocking rules. No account. Your tracking data stays in your browser.

The part nobody puts in the App Store screenshots
You open a new tab to look one thing up.
Forty minutes later, you're not sure how you got to a car-repair channel.
Bookmarking folders don't stop that. Willpower doesn't stop that either — not reliably, not on a Tuesday at 2pm. What actually works is removing the decision: distractions get blocked automatically the moment you sit down to focus, and quietly unblocked when you're done.
What's actually in here
A blocker that knows what to block.
Website Blocker PRO ADDS SCHEDULES
Block by domain or category. Add a typed unblock challenge so willpower isn't the only thing between you and Twitter. Pro adds schedule-based auto-blocking (e.g. 9–5 weekdays).
Automatic Time Tracking
Every domain, every day, logged without lifting a finger. See where your hours actually went — not where you assume they went.
Tab Declutter
One click closes duplicates, stale tabs, and empty pages. Groups what's left by domain or topic.
Site Time Limits PRO
Give yourself 30 minutes of YouTube a day. When it's gone, it's gone until tomorrow — no negotiating with yourself at 11pm.
Achievement Badges
Sixteen badges for sprints completed, streaks kept, deep-work hours logged. A little gamification, entirely optional.
Memory Saver
Idle tabs get suspended automatically, freeing up RAM and speeding up your browser. One click brings any tab back exactly where you left it.
How it works
Three steps. No configuration.
-
01
Just browse
TabInsights times every site you visit automatically. No timers to start, no categories to set up first.
-
02
See your top time-sinks
After about 30 minutes of distracting browsing, Smart Insights lists exactly which sites — the ones that ate the hour you meant to spend on work.
-
03
Tap "Block these"
One tap turns the listed sites into blocking rules and switches on Focus Mode. An Undo stays available for a few seconds if you change your mind.
Pricing
Free covers the actual job. Pro is for power users.

Questions people actually ask
FAQ
Is TabInsights free?
Yes. Time tracking, the Pomodoro focus timer, the website blocker, tab declutter, and the tab suspender are free forever. A one-time $9.99 Pro upgrade adds site time limits, scheduled blocking, unlimited workspaces, and cloud sync.
How do I block distracting websites in Chrome?
Install TabInsights, open the popup, and add any domain to your block list — permanently or for a set number of minutes. Starting a focus sprint also blocks social media, entertainment, and news sites automatically until the sprint ends.
Does TabInsights reduce Chrome's memory usage?
Yes. The built-in memory saver suspends tabs you haven't used for a configurable time (15–60 minutes), freeing roughly 50 MB of RAM per tab. Suspended tabs restore instantly with one click, and you can whitelist sites that should never suspend.
Is my browsing data private?
Yes. No account, no ads, no analytics. Your browsing time data is stored only in your browser. TabInsights contacts a server only to validate a Pro license key. Read Aloud runs only on a tab where you choose it from the right-click menu. Pro can sync your block list and settings through your own Chrome Sync.
Does TabInsights have a Pomodoro timer?
Yes — one-click 15, 25, or 45-minute focus sprints with automatic distraction blocking, a countdown on the toolbar icon, and a Pomodoro-style break timer when the sprint completes.
Can I limit how much time I spend on YouTube each day?
Yes. Site Time Limits let you set a daily cap per domain — for example 30 minutes on youtube.com. When the limit is reached, the site is blocked until midnight.
