Features
What is a focus session?
A focus session is a dedicated time period where TimeAlign blocks distracting websites. Sessions can be:
- Calendar-based: Automatically linked to your Google Calendar events
- Manual: Started on-demand for any duration
How does site blocking work?
When a focus session is active, TimeAlign intercepts requests to sites on your block list and redirects them to a blocked page. You can:
- Add individual websites to your block list
- Block entire categories (social media, news, entertainment)
- Customize which sites are blocked per session
What are completion rates?
Completion rate measures the percentage of planned session time you actually completed. For example, a 60-minute session with 48 minutes of focused time equals 80% completion. We recommend aiming for 80% or higher to build consistent habits.
How do streaks work?
Your streak counts consecutive days where you completed at least one focus session. Completing a session maintains or increases your streak; missing a day resets it to zero. Streaks help build consistent focus habits over time.
