Choose the distractions
Pick apps, games, Microsoft Store apps and websites. Still finds what’s installed, or you can browse to any .exe. Save favourite combinations as groups.

Your time. On purpose.
Still puts distracting apps, games and websites on hold, so the next hour belongs to you. No accounts. No noise. Just a quieter space for your attention.

A pause before you quit
An urge to scroll doesn’t have to end your session. Give yourself a little time to reconsider.

Anything that pulls you away, on hold
How it works
Three small steps. One quieter hour.
Choose what stays out of reach, decide how long, and start. Still takes care of the rest, even if you close the window.

Set your time
Anywhere from 1 minute to a full day. Add an optional pause of 1–120 minutes before you’re allowed to end early. Both are fixed once you begin.

Start focusing
Selected apps close and won’t launch again, not from shortcuts, launchers or the command line. Websites go on hold in Chrome and Edge.

Make time for what matters
A gentle nudge. Or a fresh start.
Schedule a reminder once, daily or on weekdays, and let it start a focus window with its own blocked apps.
- Full attention, focus card, or a quiet Windows notification
- Built-in sounds, or your own audio, images, GIFs and video
- Snooze limits, and ranges that can cross midnight

•A useful idea
1.
A little less time online
Enough is enough.
Give each website a daily allowance and a bedtime. When time is up, it rests until midnight.
- Counts while the site is open in any tab
- One bedtime window, switched on per website
- Works outside focus sessions, too

Your pause before the pause
An urge to scroll doesn’t have to end your session.
Set a waiting period before you start. To end early, you request release, wait it out, and then decide. Most urges pass long before the timer does.
Try it: a pause before you quit
5 min
Your pause before the pause
Apps and websites stay blocked while you wait. You can always choose to keep going.
05:00
Demo runs 60× faster. In Still, the wait is real, and cancelling means a new full wait.
Windows protection
Blocked at launch. Even from shortcuts.
Still Guard is a small Windows service that uses AppLocker, the same application control Windows uses in offices. It doesn’t run a loop that closes apps. The apps simply won’t start.
- Path, file-hash and publisher rulesRenamed copies and signed updates are still recognised.
- Survives closing Still and restarting WindowsTimers and release requests are saved by the guard.
- Fixed once you beginThe selection, duration and pause can’t be changed mid-session.
Websites, gently
A gentler way back to focus.
When you reach for a blocked site in Chrome or Edge, Still shows a calm page instead. Pick one, write your own with an image, or redirect somewhere useful.

A SMALL REMINDER FROM STILLYou don’t need more time. You need a little less noise.
Thoughtful details
Small things, done carefully.
Lives quietly in the tray
Closing the window hides Still in the system tray. Quitting the app never stops a session in progress.
Celebrates a little
A completion notification when your time is up, and a history that grows one small commitment at a time.
A gentler pace
Reduce motion and decorative animations with one switch. Compact layouts adapt to small windows.
Ready when you are
Optionally opens at sign-in, so scheduled alerts are there when your day starts.
Updates in place
Run a newer setup and your preferences, alerts, to-dos and history carry over. Protection keeps running.
Private by design
No account, no analytics. The update check only contacts GitHub when you ask it to.
Privacy & security
Small beginnings. Meaningful things.
Make a little room for what matters.
