Question 1

How does Focus Mode work?

Accepted Answer

Focus Mode blocks distracting sites like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram until you answer quiz questions from your own study notes. Pick the sites to block, add your material, and when you try to visit a blocked site you face a short quiz. Pass it and the site unlocks for 5 minutes to 24 hours. You choose the duration. No scroll until you've studied.

Question 2

Can I block YouTube and TikTok until I study?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Focus Mode lets you block any sites you choose. Add YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, or custom domains. When you try to visit one, you get a quiz from your own notes. Pass the quiz and you earn access. It's a Chrome extension. Install it, connect your WriteScholar account, and start blocking.

Question 3

Do I need study material to use Focus Mode?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Focus Mode pulls quiz questions from your own flashcards and quizzes in WriteScholar. Create a Study Pack or flashcards from your notes first, then when you're blocked you'll answer questions from that material. This way you're actually reinforcing what you're learning.
