Website time limits for Chrome
Block during certain hours.

Daily and weekly caps, plus a stricter budget for certain hours.

A time window is a tighter budget during those hours, not a hard schedule that blocks the site for the whole window. Set the window budget to 0 only when you want those hours fully blocked; the daily cap still applies outside it.

Give yourself 30 minutes for Twitter, 20 for Reddit, or a zero window budget for TikTok during work hours. Hit the cap and the site stays blocked unless you add time.

How to block a website during certain hours

  1. 1. Install the extension

    Add SiteKeeper from the Chrome Web Store. No account required.

  2. 2. Add a site

    Pick a site from your top-used list or by domain.

  3. 3. Turn on a time window

    Pick the days and hours, then set that window's budget.

How to Block Websites During Certain Hours in Chrome

Set daily caps, or a stricter window budget for work hours. SiteKeeper enforces both.

  1. Install SiteKeeper

    Add SiteKeeper from the Chrome Web Store. No account required to set your first limits.

  2. Add sites to limit

    Pick the sites you want to control—e.g. twitter.com, youtube.com, or news sites—from your top-used list or by domain.

  3. Set a daily cap

    Choose a daily or weekly time limit per site. A cap of 0 blocks as soon as the site is tracked, until the next day unless you add time.

  4. Configure time windows

    Optional: add a stricter budget for work hours (for example Mon–Fri 9–5). Evenings and weekends keep the daily cap.

  5. Automatic blocking

    When you hit your cap, SiteKeeper shows a blocked page. The site stays blocked until the cap resets unless you add time.

How It Works

Pick your sites, set your caps, and let SiteKeeper handle the rest. Here's the flow:

1. Set Limits

30 minutes of Twitter per day, 1 hour of YouTube per week — you decide. Hit the cap and the site stays blocked until it resets unless you add time.

2. Time Windows

A tighter budget during work hours, such as Mon–Fri 9–5. Weekends keep the normal daily cap.

3. Track Progress

A progress bar in the popup shows 18/30 min used on Twitter today. You'll know when to wrap up before the block kicks in.

4. When Blocked

A clean blocked page shows time spent versus the limit. The site stays blocked until the cap resets unless you add time.

Who it's for

  • Anyone who doomscrolls

    Set a daily cap on social or news sites. When the limit hits, the block page is a clear stop—no infinite scroll, no guilt.

  • Parents and families

    Keep limits consistent without micromanaging. Set time windows (e.g. stricter on school nights) so rules apply automatically.

  • People who work from home

    Separate work browsing from personal. A stricter budget during work hours. Evenings and weekends keep the daily cap.

1. Set daily and weekly limits

Pick a site, turn on limits, and set daily or weekly caps. Hit the cap and the site stays blocked until the next day or week unless you add time or turn the limit off.

Stop doomscrolling

A hard stop makes you aware of how much time has passed and helps break the infinite-scroll loop.

Build better habits

Over time you'll check distracting sites less and protect more time for deep work—without fighting willpower alone.

Window 1

to

End time must be greater than start time (no cross-day support)

If set, this limit applies within this time window. Otherwise, the global limit is used.

Window 2

to

End time must be greater than start time (no cross-day support)

If set, this limit applies within this time window. Otherwise, the global limit is used.

2. Optional: time windows

Add a stricter budget for chosen days and hours, such as Mon–Fri 9–5. The daily cap still applies every day, including weekends.

Stricter work hours

A window only tightens the daily cap for the hours you pick. Weekends keep the normal daily limit.

Automatic switching

Daily and weekly caps apply inside a window and outside it. The window only adds a tighter budget.

3. Track progress toward your limit

In the popup and dashboard, see used time vs your daily or weekly limit—so you know when to stop before you're blocked.
