About:
Focus is a powerful website and application blocker designed to help users eliminate digital distractions and maintain deep work sessions. It allows you to create custom blocklists and schedules to automatically restrict access to time-wasting apps and websites across your macOS system. By enforcing focused work periods, it helps improve productivity and reclaim attention in an increasingly connected world.
Key Features:
  • Customizable website and application blocking
  • Scheduled focus sessions with automatic activation
  • Strict mode to prevent easy circumvention
  • Cross-browser extension support
  • Minimalist interface with detailed statistics
Use Cases:
  • Blocking social media and distracting websites during work hours
  • Creating distraction-free deep work sessions for developers and writers
  • Limiting time spent on gaming or entertainment apps
  • Enforcing digital wellness and screen time limits
Alternatives:
  • SelfControl – Free and open-source, but less actively maintained and lacks some modern features
  • Cold Turkey Blocker – More powerful cross-platform blocking with stricter enforcement, but paid only
  • Freedom – Syncs across multiple devices (iOS/Android) but requires subscription
