What to expect
Focus mode in Toolbox, next to LeechBlock
Where Toolbox is as good or better, and where it's different. Where LeechBlock does more, we say so.
As good or better
- A calm pause before the sites you pick, then you choose: go back, or go in for a few minutes.
- Schedules, strict sessions and daily limits, with your list and focus stats on the Toolbox website.
- Free, in the same side panel as the rest of your tools.
Different
- LeechBlock is free and open source and has more kinds of rules; Toolbox blocks by site address.
- Each list in Toolbox holds up to 500 sites.
- Toolbox asks you to sign in, as every tool does.

Questions
Something else? Write to us from the Contact link below.
Is Focus mode free?
Yes. Focus mode, its schedules and strict sessions, and the import are free on every plan.
Will my schedules and time limits come over?
No, only the sites do. Set your schedule, pause screen and strict sessions in Toolbox; the import tells you what it left behind.
What about keyword and wildcard rules?
Toolbox blocks sites by their address, so keyword rules, referrer rules, wildcards and regular expressions are skipped, and the preview lists each one with the reason.
Is Toolbox free?
Yes. Every tool works on the free plan, with a few limits. Premium removes the limits and adds features like full-page captures and cloud storage, for every tool at once. Pro adds signatures, Office conversions and bookmark cleanups on top. You only add a card if you decide to upgrade.
