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
During a session, blocked sites display a "Stay Focused" message.
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
Blocking only occurs during active sessions.
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.
