Blocks the sites you choose

When a session starts, sites on your block list open the Stint block screen instead, and tabs you already had open on them are sent there too. When the session ends, the block lifts. Outside a session, nothing is blocked.

You decide what is on the list. Edit it on the extension’s options page; a stricter rule applies straight away, a looser one from midnight.

Counts time on your work sites

Mark the sites you work in, such as your docs, your design tool or your code host, and time on them counts as focus. The toolbar badge shows the minutes left in your session.

On its own, the extension counts toward your personal focus stats. With the Mac or Windows app on the same computer, it pairs with no code and your browser work counts toward your pools.

What it reads, and what it sends

The extension checks the address of your active tab on your computer to decide whether it is a work site, a blocked site or neither. Full web addresses and page content never leave your browser.

What Stint receives during a session is a count of seconds each minute: on work sites, on other sites, on blocked sites and on the block screen. A site’s domain is sent only when you add it to your own rules.
