fociiHow to install and set up Focii.
Focii uses a parent dashboard, a Chrome extension on your child's device, and an optional Windows companion app. Follow these steps to get everything working.
Install the parts you need
Start with the Chrome extension. Add the Windows kit only if you want App Locker enforcement on a child's PC.
The Chrome Web Store listing is not connected yet. Request access and we'll send the approved install link.
Download the signed Windows companion installer from your logged-in Focii account, then run it as Administrator on the child's PC.
Supported browsers
These are the current browser support expectations for the Focii extension experience.
Primary supported browser. All features available.
Chromium-based Edge works with the Chrome extension via the Chrome Web Store.
Firefox uses a different extension system. A Firefox extension is not currently available.
Safari extension support requires a separate macOS/iOS build. Not currently available.
Brave is Chromium-based and can load the Chrome extension, but aggressive privacy shields may interfere with some features.
Bypass-resistant setup
For older children or shared Windows devices, use these extra steps so Focii is enforced by Chrome policy and Windows rather than only by the visible extension UI.
Keep the parent account as Administrator and make the child account a Standard User so they cannot stop services, install other browsers, or change system policy without approval.
After the Chrome Web Store listing is approved, apply the Focii Chrome policy from the parent Administrator account so Chrome keeps the extension installed and disables normal removal.
Install the Windows companion through the guided setup so enforcement starts with Windows and restarts automatically if the process stops.
Use App Locker to block Firefox, Edge, Brave, Opera, and other browsers you do not want used during focus sessions.
Step-by-step setup
Sign up at focii.app/register. Choose a secure password and set a 4-digit PIN - you will use your PIN to confirm session controls from the dashboard.
From the Children tab in the dashboard, add each child's name and optionally link their school teacher's email for weekly digest reports.
Install the Focii Chrome Extension from the Chrome Web Store (or load in developer mode during testing). The extension monitors browsing during active focus sessions.
On the child's Windows device, install the Focii companion app. This enables app locking, device pairing, and real-time session control from the parent dashboard.
Open the extension popup on the child's browser and sign in using your parent credentials and PIN. Select the correct child profile to pair the device.
From the dashboard Overview tab, click "New Session", select the child and duration, and confirm with your PIN. The session begins immediately on the paired device.
Watch live activity in the Overview tab, review blocked sites and override requests, and use AI Insights for session summaries and focus analysis.
