Features of Website-Blocker

Password-Protected Fort Knox Mode

This is your master key, the ultimate veto power. Lock down the entire browsing experience or specific digital zones with a secure password. It prevents sneaky circumvention, ensuring your carefully set boundaries stay firm. No kid can edit settings or bypass blocks without the secret code, giving you total administrative control and stopping unauthorized changes dead in their tracks.

Surgical Timer-Based Access

Go beyond simple blocking with precision time management. This feature lets you allocate specific, limited doses of screen time for particular websites. Want to allow 30 minutes of gaming or social media? Set the timer and watch access vanish when the clock hits zero. It promotes focused usage, prevents endless scrolling, and teaches kids valuable time-management skills without the constant nagging.

Recurring Schedule Automator

Set it, forget it, and let the automation work its magic. Create powerful daily or weekly browsing routines that run on autopilot. Designate "homework hours" where distractions are blocked, or "free time" windows where certain sites are accessible. This builds consistent, disciplined digital habits and healthy routines, making your rules a predictable part of their day, not a constant battle.

Cloud Sync & Multi-Device Command Center

Your control doesn't end at the desktop. All your blocking rules, schedules, and settings live in the secure cloud. This means you can manage or adjust your child's online world from any device, anywhere—your phone, a tablet, or a work computer. Changes sync instantly across all their devices, providing seamless, universal protection whether they're on a laptop at home or a Chromebook on the go.

Use Cases of Website-Blocker

The Focused Homework Haven

Transform study time from a distracted mess into a productivity zone. Parents can block all social media, gaming sites, and video platforms during designated homework hours. With timer-based access, a student might earn a short, scheduled break on a specific site after completing a task, creating a positive reward system that keeps them on track and crushing their assignments.

The Healthy Bedtime Wind-Down

Combat blue light and overstimulation before bed. Set a recurring nightly schedule that automatically blocks all entertainment and stimulating websites an hour before bedtime. This forces a digital detox, encouraging reading or relaxation instead of endless YouTube or TikTok scrolling, promoting better sleep hygiene and a calmer household routine.

The Safe Social Media Introduction

Manage a tween's first steps into the social media world with guardrails. Instead of a flat ban, use the timer feature to grant limited, supervised access to approved platforms—say, 20 minutes per day. This allows them to learn and connect in a controlled environment, fostering responsible usage before handing over the keys to the digital kingdom.

The Multi-Child, Multi-Device Household Manager

For families with several kids and a pile of devices, this is your unified control panel. Create different profiles or rules tailored to each child's age and needs from one central cloud portal. Block inappropriate sites for the younger ones while setting time limits on distractions for the teenager, all syncing effortlessly to personal laptops, shared tablets, and school Chromebooks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Website-Blocker really free to start?

Absolutely! You can add the core extension to Chrome or Edge for free, no credit card needed. This lets you block websites and test-drive the basic functionality. When you're ready to level up to advanced features like cloud sync, recurring schedules, and multi-device control, you can upgrade seamlessly to the Gold Plan.

Can my tech-savvy kid bypass or uninstall the extension?

We've built in serious defenses. The extension can be secured with a master password that prevents unauthorized removal or setting changes. Even if they try to remove it, your cloud-based rules can often be re-applied. It's designed to be robust against common workarounds, giving you the upper hand.

How does the cloud sync work?

Once you upgrade to the Gold Plan, your settings are stored securely in your online account. When you make a change—like adding a new site to block—in the web portal or mobile app, that command is sent to our cloud and instantly pushed to the extension on all your registered devices. It ensures your protection is consistent everywhere.

Do I need to install something on my child's phone?

Website-Blocker is primarily a browser extension for Chrome and Edge. It works on any device where those browsers can be installed and managed, like laptops, desktops, and some Chromebooks. For full device-level control on native mobile apps (like iOS Safari or Android apps), you would need dedicated parental control software, but for browser-based activity, our extension has you covered.
