Everything you need to know before making a little room for focus.
Ask us something01 Is LittleJohnny only for YouTube?
No. Normal Focus combines timed tasks with your website blocklist, and your dashboard brings your session history and progress together. YouTube Focus adds video-by-video classification so useful videos stay available.

03 Which browsers can I use?
The browser companion supports Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Microsoft Edge, and other compatible Chromium-based browsers. The website provides your account and dashboard.
04 What does the Free plan include?
Normal Focus and website blocking are unlimited. You also get 60 minutes of YouTube Focus, split across sessions, refilling 24 hours after focus begins. Detailed Session Review has a one-time 72-hour preview that begins when your first eligible session produces review evidence.
05 Does intelligent classification work on other sites?
Video-by-video classification currently works on YouTube. Other distracting websites can be blocked through your custom blocklist.
