You can define custom scripts to run when Focus is enabled and disabled that take the app’s potentiality to a whole new level. You can also optionally enable the Pomodoro Mode, a focusing technique that helps you get your work done by repeated cycles of long focus periods followed by short breaks.įinally, Focus lets you customize more powerful actions by supporting BASH scripts and URL Handlers. This option locks access to the Focus settings, which means that the current focus session can’t be terminated (and hence website and app blocks can’t be lifted) until the timer is up. If you’re determined to finish your task on time, you may want to enable Hardcore Mode. Once the break period is over, Focus automatically switches back to focus mode, blocking the specified websites and apps as it should. During this time, the blocked websites and apps are temporarily accessible. You can add or remove specific websites or apps to block or allow, from the app’s Preferences.įocus even lets you take short breaks of 5 minutes (or custom breaks if you need longer) during your focus period. When installed, the app already has a set of websites belonging to social media, online shopping, etc., categories added to its blacklist by default. While Focus is enabled, it will block websites and apps that you’ve mentioned in its blacklist, or allow only those that you’ve mentioned in its whitelist. Focus resists you from these tempting moments during your Focus hours. When you have an active Internet connection, it’s really tempting to open your Facebook or Twitter to check for updates, even while you’re working. You can set your focus schedules within the app to automatically enable and disable focus mode according to the time of day, and even schedule different timings for different days.
