主要区别
Chrome Extension vs Desktop App
StayFocusd only works in Chrome. Open Firefox, Edge, or any other browser and you’re unblocked. FocusMe blocks across all browsers and also blocks desktop apps and games — there’s no easy workaround.
The Nuclear Option vs Enforced Mode
StayFocusd’s Nuclear Option locks your Chrome browsing for a set period, which is effective — but only within Chrome. FocusMe’s Enforced Mode protects the entire system with uninstall protection, random character challenges, stop delays, and password protection. You can’t just switch browsers or uninstall the app.
Screen Breaks & AI Coaching
FocusMe includes enforced screen breaks with full-screen overlays, AI coaching with personalized productivity reports, and pause limits. StayFocusd focuses purely on website time management with no wellness or productivity features.
When StayFocusd is the Right Choice
StayFocusd is free and great if Chrome is your only browser and you don’t need app blocking. Its in-page content blocking (hiding YouTube Shorts, comments, etc.) is a nice feature. But if you need cross-browser or cross-app blocking with real bypass protection, FocusMe is the upgrade.
用户感言
“It’s much more flexible than others I tried (Freedom and Cold Turkey most notably), the only one I can’t get around…”

常见问题
Is FocusMe better than StayFocusd?
FocusMe is far more comprehensive — it blocks apps and games, works across all browsers, has Enforced Mode with uninstall protection, enforced screen breaks, and AI coaching. StayFocusd is free and has a useful Nuclear Option, but it’s limited to Chrome with no app blocking or bypass protection beyond the browser.
Can I bypass StayFocusd?
Yes — you can open a different browser, use incognito mode, or remove the extension. StayFocusd’s Nuclear Option prevents you from changing settings within Chrome, but it can’t stop you from leaving Chrome entirely. FocusMe’s Enforced Mode blocks at the application level across all browsers with uninstall protection.
How does FocusMe’s pricing compare to StayFocusd?
StayFocusd is free, which is its biggest advantage. FocusMe is a paid product, but you get what you pay for — cross-browser blocking, app blocking, enforced mode, uninstall protection, screen breaks, AI coaching, and much more. FocusMe offers a 14-day free trial and a 60-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it completely risk-free. We also provide world-class customer support.
