Three Ways Heyday Helps You Focus

Remove What Distracts

Hide Instagram feeds, YouTube recommendations, and Reddit infinite scroll. Keep the sites you need without the parts that steal your time.

Set Your Own Rules

Turn sites black and white, block them completely, or limit how often you visit. You choose what works for your brain.

Automate Your Focus

Apply different rules for work hours, evenings, and weekends.
Set it once, stay focused automatically.

Make Any Website Less Addictive (Impacts)

Control how entire websites behave. Stack multiple impacts, schedule them automatically, and reclaim your attention from the sites that demand too much of it.

Decolour (Greyscale Mode)

Turn websites black and white to reduce dopamine triggers

Why it works: Color is a powerful psychological hook. Removing it makes mindless scrolling feel less rewarding, helping you close the tab faster.

Perfect for: Social media, news sites, shopping sites

Simplify

Remove feeds, shorts & recommendations — without blocking the whole site

Why it works: SYou don't have to quit social media or block YouTube entirely. Just remove the manipulative parts and keep what you actually need.

Perfect for: Work hours, study sessions, bedtime routines

Block Sites Completely

Restrict access to distracting websites when you need deep focus

Why it works: Sometimes you need a hard boundary. Unlike other blockers, Heyday lets you schedule blocks instead of applying them 24/7.

Perfect for: Work hours, study sessions, bedtime routines

Visit Limit

Set daily caps on how many times you can open a site

Why it works: Mindless checking happens on autopilot. By capping visits, you break the automatic reach for Reddit, Twitter, or LinkedIn every time you have a spare moment.

Perfect for: Breaking compulsive checking habits, "just one quick look" loops

Time Limit

Choose how much total time you can spend on a site each day or week

Why it works: Time disappears on distracting sites. A 30-minute session
can feel like 5 minutes. Time limits create accountability and help you
stay aware of where your hours actually go.

Perfect for: Video platforms, social media deep dives, news binges

Slow Down (Coming Soon)

Add deliberate friction by slowing page load speeds

Why it works: Habit loops thrive on speed. By introducing a 3-5 second delay, you create space to ask: "Do I actually want to be here?"

Perfect for: Breaking automatic checking behaviors

Your focus, your rules

Find answers to common questions about building healthier digital habits, customizing site controls, and making the most of your focused browsing experience.

How does this help reduce distractions?

By letting you remove feeds, recommendations, and autoplay, you can shape sites to be less tempting—so you spend less time scrolling and more time on what matters.

Can I choose which sites to manage?

Absolutely! You can pick from 400+ pre-categorized sites or add your own. Organize them into lists like Social, News, or Custom to fit your needs.

What are 'impacts' and how do they work?

Impacts are ways to change how a site behaves—like blocking, simplifying, or turning it greyscale. You decide which impact applies to each site or list.

Is it possible to set time-based rules?

Yes! Set up schedules for when restrictions turn on or off. For example, block social media during work hours but allow it in the evening.

Can I pause restrictions if I need access?

You can temporarily pause any restriction, and it will automatically turn back on after a set time—so you stay in control without losing your progress.

Will my data stay private and secure?

Your settings and site choices are stored securely and never sold. If you sign in, your preferences sync across devices—no ads, no tracking, just your data.
