1. Install the extension
Add SuperFocus from the Chrome Web Store or Edge Add-ons. There's no account to create, and tracking starts as soon as it's installed.
2. Take the setup tour
A short setup page opens right after installation. It helps you pin the SuperFocus button to your toolbar, then introduces each tool:
- Time Tracker: already running; nothing to start or stop.
- Block Sites: give a site a daily limit like 15 minutes, or 0 minutes to block it outright.
- Hide Distractions: on by default, with every distraction hidden on YouTube, X, Reddit, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram.
3. Make it yours
Open the dashboard from the popup and add limits for the sites that eat your day. Then visit the Hide Distractions tab and switch back on anything you actually want, like YouTube comments for tutorials. The toolbar icon can also show the time spent on the current site (toggle it in settings).
4. Read your first report
Click the SuperFocus icon at the end of the day. You'll see:
- Today: every site ranked by active time, with an hour-by-hour chart.
- All time: your running totals since installing.
- By days: a day-by-day history to spot your patterns.
Only the focused tab counts, and the clock stops when you step away from the keyboard (unless the tab is playing audio).
5. Everything else in settings
A few more things worth knowing about:
- Limits: add or adjust daily budgets, and optionally allow a one-time 5-minute extension.
- Hide distractions: toggle individual elements per site.
- No-track list: sites you'd rather not track at all.
- Notifications: a daily summary, or a reminder after time on a chosen site.
- Backup & export: export to CSV, or back up and restore everything.
