Kiwi FocusWebsite blocking
A Chrome extension that pairs automatically and keeps blocking even when Kiwi is closed.
Made for focus · Windows 10 and 11
Your focus has a bodyguard.
Kiwi is a tiny companion who lives on your desktop. Start a focus session and he blocks the apps and websites that pull you away, keeps your to-dos in view, and listens when you say “hey Kiwi”.

Made for focus
One job: keep you in it.
Most blockers are a settings page you forget about. Kiwi is a character on your screen who holds the line, and the whole app is built around three steps.
-
1
Name your distractions
Add the websites and apps that eat your day. Pick from what's running, browse for a program, or just say “block Reddit”.
-
2
Start a session
25 minutes, an hour, or until you say stop. From the panel, the tray, or “hey Kiwi, focus for 45 minutes”.

Kiwi holds the line
Open something on the list and he covers it within a blink. When time's up, he lets you back out and celebrates with you.
excuse me!Return to focus.
What happens when you slip
Open YouTube at 2 pm on a Tuesday and this is what you get. There is no skip button. The only ways out are going back to work, waiting out the session, or deliberately turning Focus off.
- Covers the app or tab in about a third of a second
- Back to work returns you to the exact window you came from
- Never closes your apps or loses your tabs
- Shows your top to-do, as a nudge in the right direction
excuse me!
you're getting distracted.
Return to focus.

What Kiwi does
Tiny friend. Big help.
Everything lives in one small panel above him. Click Kiwi and it opens; click away and it's gone.
To-dos
A list that knows what matters.
Give each to-do a priority and a due date, then let Kiwi sort it out. Your list splits itself into Overdue, Today, Tomorrow and beyond, and the most important thing is always on top.
- Split by day. Overdue, Today, Tomorrow, Next 7 days and Later, each with a count. Or group by priority.
- Overdue ones pulse red, so they're impossible to ignore.
- Three priorities, colour-coded right on the checkbox.
- Tick it off with confetti. The check pops and a little burst goes off.
- Click a to-do and its details pop open: priority, due date, edit.
- Sort it your way, or drag them into your own order.
“Hey Kiwi, add finish the deck, high priority, due Friday.”
Home
A home screen that reads the room.
Open Kiwi and the first thing you see is what matters right now. Something overdue? He'll say so. Focusing? Your time left. All done? He'll cheer.
- Focus in one tap, right from the greeting: 25, 50 or 90 minutes, or no limit.
- Today at a glance: time focused, to-dos done, and your streak.
- Up next, ready to tick off, with a quick-add box under it.
- Your next reminder and how close the next hat is.
Focus sessions
Pick a length. Kiwi keeps time.
Start 25 minutes, 45, an hour or two, and blocking switches on straight away. Kiwi switches to night mode, dark with glowing eyes, and the countdown floats above his head.
- One click to start, from Home, the panel, the tray or your voice.
- Add 15 minutes when you're in flow, or stop early.
- Ends by itself. Blocking lifts and Kiwi celebrates with you.
Hats
Get things done. Earn hats.
Every to-do you tick off and every minute you focus counts towards a new hat for Kiwi. There are eight to collect, from a little sprout to a graduation cap.
- Unlocked by doing the work: finishing to-dos and time in Focus.
- Kiwi shows off each one the moment you earn it.
- Tap to wear, and he keeps it on everywhere, even mid-dance.
History
See where your hours went.
Every session is saved, so you can look back over a day or a whole week and see how much you actually focused.
- A weekly chart, with this week, today and a daily average.
- Every session listed with its times and whether it ran to the end.
- Honest numbers. Time asleep or locked doesn't count.
Reminders
Nudges you can't miss.
Set one in a couple of clicks or just say it. When it's due, Kiwi takes over the screen, or taps you on the shoulder with a quiet toast if you prefer.
- Quick times: in 15 minutes, in an hour, tonight.
- Snooze or dismiss right from the reminder.
- Full-screen or toast, your choice.
Voice
Say “hey Kiwi”. Recognised on your PC in under a second, never uploaded.
Google Calendar
Ask what's next, and add, move or cancel events by voice. Optional.
Smarter with Claude
Add your own API key and Kiwi can answer questions and handle anything else.
Put him anywhere
He walks your taskbar and hops onto windows. Pin him in one spot and his feet dangle.
“Did you do this?”
Now and then he floats a to-do over his head, overdue ones first. A gentle nudge, never a nag.
On your taskbar
A taskbar button opens his panel. Resize it, drag it anywhere, go full screen or minimize.
Full of personality
He yawns late at night, hums, dances, looks around and taps his foot when you've been idle.
Private, and up to date
No account, no analytics, everything on your PC. Updates install themselves.

Questions
Before you ask.
Can I get around the block screen?
There's no skip button, on purpose. You can always turn Focus off from the panel or the tray, because Kiwi is a commitment device, not a jail. The point is to make slipping a decision instead of a reflex.
Does it work without the Chrome extension?
App blocking, focus sessions, to-dos, reminders and voice all work with the desktop app alone. Blocking websites inside your browser needs the extension, which is free and pairs with Kiwi automatically.
Does voice need the internet?
Only once. The first time you use voice, Kiwi downloads an open speech model and keeps it on your PC. After that, recognition works fully offline.
Will he get in the way of my work?
Clicks pass straight through the empty space around him, he never takes keyboard focus, and he stops walking when you reach for him. You can pin him anywhere or hide him entirely; blocking and voice keep working either way.
Is there a Mac or Linux version?
Not yet. Kiwi relies on Windows to see which app is in front, so Windows comes first.
What does it cost?
€4.99, once. That includes every feature, the Chrome extension, and automatic updates. No subscription.

No account, no tracking
Kiwi Focus doesn't ask you to sign up and doesn't collect analytics. Your to-dos, reminders, block lists and settings are saved on your own PC.
Voice
Speech recognition runs on your PC. Audio isn't recorded to disk or sent anywhere. The first time you use voice, Kiwi downloads an open speech model (Whisper) and keeps it on your PC.
Google Calendar
Only if you connect it. Kiwi asks for your email address and access to your calendar events, and uses them only to show, add, move or cancel events when you ask him to. The sign-in token is encrypted and stored on your PC. Calendar data goes straight between your PC and Google; it isn't sent to us, sold, or used for ads. Kiwi's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. You can disconnect in Settings at any time.
Claude
Only if you add your own Anthropic API key. Then the text of requests Kiwi can't handle himself (or every request, if you choose) is sent to Anthropic to be understood, along with the to-dos and events needed to answer. Your key is stored on your PC.
Chrome extension
The extension gets your block list and to-dos from the desktop app over a connection that stays on your computer. It checks the address of pages you open against your block list. It doesn't record or upload your browsing.
Updates and logs
Kiwi checks GitHub for new versions. He keeps a small log file on your PC to help with bug reports; it only leaves your computer if you copy it and send it yourself.
Buying Kiwi
Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see your card details. We get the email address you give at checkout and use it only to send your licence key (through our email provider, Resend) and to reply if you get in touch. Your licence key is checked on your PC, never online.
