Focus App

Stop Distractions on Your Mac

Visit Focus App

Focus is a Mac application designed to help users stay on task by blocking distracting websites and apps. It addresses the challenge of maintaining focus in an environment where digital services are engineered to capture and hold attention, allowing users to regain control over their work sessions.

The app offers several core capabilities to manage distractions. Users can block specific websites or entire internet access, and also block distracting applications. It includes built-in timers for productivity techniques like Pomodoro, as well as scheduling for daily, weekly, or weekend plans. Locked sessions can be password-protected to prevent early termination, and profiles allow for quick switching between different work contexts. Additional features include time tracking with statistics, scripting to automate actions at session start or end, keyboard shortcuts, and support for complex work networks.

Focus is intended for individual Mac users seeking to improve their productivity, including freelancers who may use the time tracking for projects. The application is available for a free trial, with a paid license offered for continued use.
