Your day is not one-dimensional, so why should your blocking rules be? Whether you are grinding through a morning work sprint, studying for a critical exam in the afternoon, or unwinding in the evening, each part of your day demands a completely different relationship with the internet. Block Profiles is the premium feature that finally lets you build dedicated, named configurations — each with its own block list, allow list, keyword filters, schedules, and preferences — and switch between them in a single click.
No more manually adding and removing sites every time your context changes. No more forgetting to re-enable your strictest rules when deep work begins. With Block Profiles, Website Blocker transforms from a simple blocking tool into an intelligent, adaptive productivity system that moves with you through every phase of your day.
A Block Profile is a complete, self-contained snapshot of your entire Website Blocker configuration. Think of it as a saved "mode" for your browser. Each profile stores its own independent set of blocked websites, allowed websites, keyword and exact URL rules, redirect targets, custom block page messages, schedule settings, and more. You can create as many profiles as you need — Work, Study, Creative Writing, Job Search, Relaxation, Kids Mode — the possibilities are endless.
When you activate a profile, Website Blocker instantly loads every setting tied to that profile. Your block list changes, your schedules update, your custom block page message adapts, and your keyword filters shift — all at once, with zero manual effort. When you switch to a different profile, the previous one is saved exactly as you left it, ready to be reactivated whenever you need it again.
This is context-aware browsing control at its finest. Instead of fighting against the reality that different tasks require different rules, Block Profiles embrace that reality and make it effortless to manage.
Every time you transition from one activity to another — from focused work to a study session, from studying to a well-earned break — you face a friction point. Without profiles, you would need to manually adjust your block lists, disable certain schedules, change redirect targets, and tweak your keyword filters. That process is tedious, error-prone, and frankly discouraging. Most people simply skip it, leaving themselves exposed to distractions that do not belong in their current context.
Block Profiles remove that friction entirely. One click, and your entire configuration shifts to match what you are doing right now. It is as easy as blocking a distraction with a single click — except you are loading an entire ruleset at once.
During deep work, you might need an aggressive block list that shuts down social media, news sites, streaming platforms, and even email. During study time, you might want to block entertainment but keep educational forums and research databases accessible. During relaxation, you might allow social media but still block time-wasting clickbait using keyword-based content blocking. Each scenario demands a unique set of rules, and Block Profiles let you define them once and reuse them forever.
Building the perfect blocking configuration takes time and experimentation. You fine-tune which sites to block, which URLs to allow, what keywords to filter, where to redirect distractions to productive websites, and what schedules to enforce. Without profiles, changing your setup for a different context means risking the loss of all that careful work. With Block Profiles, every configuration is preserved independently. Your work setup never interferes with your study setup, and neither one touches your relaxation rules.
Research in productivity science consistently shows that transition periods between tasks are among the most vulnerable moments for distraction. When you finish a work block and shift to studying, there is a natural temptation to "just check" social media or news before settling in. Block Profiles close that window of vulnerability. The moment you switch profiles, your new rules are active. There is no gap, no grace period, and no opportunity for your impulses to derail you.
Combine this with the bypass prevention cooldown timer and you have an airtight system that prevents impulsive decisions during transitions.
If you share a computer with family members, roommates, or colleagues, Block Profiles let each person have their own blocking configuration. A parent can set up a strict "Kids Mode" profile that blocks inappropriate content and limits social media, while keeping their own relaxed browsing profile just a click away. A student sharing a laptop with a sibling can maintain completely separate blocking environments. Each profile is independent, so activating one never affects another.
Block Profiles are not an isolated add-on — they integrate deeply with every feature in Website Blocker. Each profile can have its own automated schedules for blocking, its own attempt-based blocking thresholds, its own redirect rules, its own personalized block page message, and its own password protection settings. The entire feature set of Website Blocker bends to serve each profile individually.
Setting up and using Block Profiles is straightforward. Here is a step-by-step walkthrough of the entire process, from creating your first profile to switching between them throughout the day.
Open Website Blocker's settings and navigate to the Profiles section. Click "Create New Profile" and give it a descriptive name — something like Deep Work, Study Session, Evening Wind-Down, or Weekend Browsing. The name is entirely up to you, and you can rename profiles at any time.
With your new profile selected, start adding the websites you want blocked in this specific context. For a Work profile, you might block social media platforms, news aggregators, video streaming sites, gaming forums, and shopping websites. For a Study profile, you might block the same entertainment sites but keep academic resources, documentation portals, and research tools on the allow list. You can use precise keyword and exact URL rules to fine-tune exactly which pages are blocked and which are permitted within the same domain.
Go beyond URL-based blocking by adding keyword filters specific to this profile. Your Work profile might filter out pages containing keywords like "memes," "celebrity gossip," or "game walkthrough." Your Study profile might filter out keywords related to entertainment while allowing academic terms to pass through freely. This level of granularity is powered by keyword blocking technology that scans page content, not just URLs — ensuring distractions are caught even on sites you have not explicitly listed.
Each profile can carry its own schedule. Your Work profile might be configured to activate automatically on weekday mornings from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and again from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, using scheduled blocking automation. Your Study profile might activate on weekday evenings and Saturday mornings. Your Relaxation profile might have no schedule at all, relying on manual activation. Every profile's schedule operates independently, giving you complete flexibility over when and how your rules engage.
Customize what happens when a blocked site is accessed under each profile. Your Work profile might redirect distractions to a project management tool or company dashboard. Your Study profile might redirect to a flashcard app or online library. Your Relaxation profile might show a gentle custom block page reminder that says "You decided to take a real break — go outside or read a book instead." Each profile tells a different story and serves a different purpose.
You can also decide on a per-profile basis whether to enable Silent Block Mode to quietly close distracting tabs without any notification, or whether to use standard blocking with a visible block page. Some users prefer silent blocking during deep work (to avoid any interruption to their flow) and standard blocking during study (to get a visible reminder of their goals).
Once your profiles are configured, switching between them is effortless. Open the Website Blocker popup and select the profile you want from the dropdown or profile switcher. Your entire configuration updates instantly — block lists, allow lists, keyword filters, schedules, redirects, block page messages, and every other setting. There is no loading time, no restart required, and no confirmation dialogs. Just a clean, immediate switch.
For even faster activation, pair your profiles with the One-Click Focus Mode to launch a timed focus session using whichever profile is currently active. Start a 25-minute Pomodoro sprint under your Work profile, then switch to your Study profile for the next session — all from the popup.
All your profiles, including every rule and setting within them, are fully supported by the Backup and Restore system. Export your entire profile collection to a file and import it on another browser, another computer, or after a reinstall. You will never lose your carefully crafted configurations.
Block Profiles shine brightest when applied to the messy, multi-faceted reality of how people actually use their computers. Here are detailed use cases that illustrate the power and flexibility of this feature.
Maria works from home as a software developer. Her mornings are dedicated to deep coding work, her afternoons involve meetings and email correspondence, and her evenings are personal time. She has three profiles configured:
Maria's profiles switch automatically based on her pre-configured schedules, so she does not even need to think about it. Her browsing environment adapts to her workflow without any manual intervention.
James is a university student juggling coursework, exam preparation, a part-time job, and a social life. He uses four profiles:
The Hernandez family shares a desktop computer in their living room. Block Profiles let each family member have a tailored experience:
Each family member simply selects their profile when they sit down at the computer. The transition is instant, and no one's rules interfere with anyone else's.
Priya is a freelance graphic designer who works with multiple clients across different industries. She creates a profile for each major client project:
By switching profiles when she switches projects, Priya ensures that her browsing environment always supports the work at hand. She pairs each profile with the built-in Focus Timer to run timed work sessions, maximizing her billable hours.
David has a bad habit of scrolling through social media and news sites late into the night, ruining his sleep schedule. He creates a Night Mode profile that activates automatically at 10:00 PM:
David also appreciates that Website Blocker's Dark Mode interface is gentle on his eyes during these late-night interactions, making the rare settings adjustment comfortable.
Most website blockers treat your digital life as if it has one mode. You set a block list, and that is what you get — all day, every day, regardless of what you are actually doing. That rigidity creates a constant tension: rules that are strict enough for deep work are too restrictive for leisure, and rules that are relaxed enough for personal time are too lenient for productivity. The result is that people either weaken their blocking rules to a lowest common denominator or give up on blocking tools entirely.
Block Profiles solve this fundamental problem. By allowing you to create distinct configurations for distinct contexts, they eliminate the compromise. You can be ruthlessly strict during work, appropriately focused during study, and reasonably relaxed during downtime — all with the same extension, all managed in the same interface, all switchable in an instant.
This is especially powerful when combined with the full suite of Website Blocker features. Use Block History to review which sites were blocked under each profile and refine your rules over time. Take advantage of support for 47 languages to configure profiles in whatever language you are most comfortable with. Layer in attempt-based blocking for profiles where you want graduated enforcement rather than absolute restriction.
Every feature in Website Blocker becomes more powerful when it can be customized per profile. And every profile becomes more powerful when it can leverage every feature. It is a multiplier effect that transforms how you manage your attention across the full spectrum of your daily life.
Block Profiles is available as part of Website Blocker's premium upgrade. If you are serious about productivity, focus, and intentional browsing, this is the feature that ties everything together. Create your first profile in minutes, and experience the difference that context-aware blocking makes.
Your day has many chapters. Now your website blocker can have a chapter for each one.
