ZFocus is a privacy-first website blocker for reducing distractions and staying focused. It combines Pomodoro and Focus Zones with schedules, limits, and smart rules, and it is built for students, creators, and remote workers.
Its blocking tools include smart exception patterns, keyword-based URL blocking, and day or time schedules such as Mon-Fri 9:00-17:00 or Sat-Sun off. ZFocus can limit access by frequency and duration, for example by allowing five minutes every hour or every 30 minutes. It can also block only the active tab, pause blocking for 3, 5, or 10 minutes, close distracting tabs automatically, or redirect them to chosen destinations. The page also describes visual statistics with 30-day charts for blocks, time saved, and streaks.
ZFocus is available through browser support for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, and Opera, and the page offers free installation for Chrome. It emphasizes local storage and zero tracking, with opt-in error reporting only. The interface is shown with light, dark, and auto themes, and the service is available in English, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. A comparison section also says it requires no registration.
Pricing is presented as a free trial and paid plans. The free trial costs $0 for 30 days and includes unlimited website blocking, smart exception patterns, keyword-based URL blocking, day/time-based blocking schedules, time-limited site access, auto close tab or redirect, and detailed 30-day statistics history. Premium is listed at $14 per year and adds priority support and settings sync via Chrome Sync. A lifetime plan is listed at $29 one time, with free lifetime updates, priority support forever, no recurring payments, and lifetime early access to new features. The page also says ZFocus plans to open source once it reaches a sustainable user base.
