Finally catching up on that project, spending time
with friends, or just a moment of calm.

Block Websites

Some websites are designed to keep you scrolling. Block social media, gaming, shopping or news sites that pull you away most often. Happy Squid helps you keep them out of reach when you want to focus.

Work on a Task

Trying to predict and block every possible distraction can be a losing battle. Start a task and explain to Happy Squid what you want to work on. During the task all unrelated websites get blocked, only allowing the websites your project depends on.

Intelligent Exceptions

There are websites worth cutting back on without giving up entirely. Choose from built-in exceptions or write your own for each blocked site. Happy Squid makes sure the content on each page you visit fits the exception you picked to keep you on track.

Block Categories

Sometimes it is most efficient to block entire categories of websites. Choose from predefined blocking lists for Social Media, online shopping, news and more. Happy Squid will block all websites on that list.

Lock Happy Squid

Sometimes a block is too easy to turn off. Lock your blocked websites for a set duration to stick to your commitment. Happy Squid will not let you delete a block until your session ends.

Schedule Free Time

Need to take a break from your website blocks while keeping them in place? Set your daily Free Time in advance and enjoy your break. Happy Squid will automatically block the website once your Free Time ends.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Traditional blockers are designed to block websites without exceptions. When you need to watch a lecture for class or want to find a recipe, they won't let you. Happy Squid understands the difference between distractions and the content you need. Just share your exceptions with Happy Squid when setting up a block, and it'll make sure you stick to them. If you have to access a blocked site for a reason you didn't see coming, just chat with Happy Squid and it unlocks the site just for that.

Happy Squid Tasks let you describe what you're working on, and block everything unrelated for the set duration. Say you start a task and tell Happy Squid that you want to study for an upcoming exam. Happy Squid will stop you from scrolling through social media, but allow you to watch a lecture, look up a formula, or find exercises on the topic of your exam. This way you don't have to anticipate every website that could pull you off course, or every exception you might need.
