The StayFocusd alternative that also tracks your time
StayFocusd is a classic Chrome limiter: pick sites, set a daily allowance, and they lock when time is up. SiteKeeper does that job, then adds the piece StayFocusd skips — automatic time tracking so you know what to limit.

Why people look for a StayFocusd alternative
See the time, then cut it
StayFocusd is a limiter. If you do not know which sites eat the day, a tracker plus a cap is a clearer starting point than a block list alone.
Work hours vs evenings
SiteKeeper time windows let you run stricter caps on weekdays and relax them on the weekend, without toggling the extension by hand.
Path-level habits
StayFocusd can hide in-page content. SiteKeeper shows time by URL path, so you can tell tutorials from Shorts on the same domain.
A score you can check
SiteKeeper adds a daily productivity score. StayFocusd does not — it only enforces the list you gave it.
Which should you use?
Choose SiteKeeper if
- You want StayFocusd-style daily caps plus automatic tracking
- You need different limits for work hours and weekends
- You want to see YouTube tutorials vs Shorts separately
- You want a productivity score, not only a block list
Stick with StayFocusd if
- You only want a limiter and already like the Nuclear Option
- You need a hard lock you cannot undo until the timer ends
- You do not care about time reports or path analysis
- You want a free, limiter-only extension with no extra features
