What is Heyday Focus?

Heyday Focus is a browser-based tool designed to help you maintain concentration while staying connected to the internet. Rather than blocking access to distracting websites entirely, it allows you to set focus sessions where certain sites become less accessible or require intentional action to visit. This approach recognises that many people need internet access for work but struggle with sites like social media pulling their attention away. The tool is straightforward to set up and works within your existing browser, making it practical for students, remote workers, and anyone who finds their productivity suffering from online distractions.

Advantages

  • Free to use with no subscription required

Limitations

  • Relies on self-discipline since blocking can be circumvented if willpower wavers
