    Blocks exactly what you want it to block. I was afraid I'd need to disable Chrome on my device, but FocusMe even lets you block the specific websites that give you trouble.

    Android version only has a small fraction of the features advertised on the website, no app or website blocking, just a breathing exercise/delay.
