Focus Firewall
Block distracting websites while you work
Focus Firewall blocks distracting websites and apps on your Mac while you work. Set your hours once and it runs by itself, in every major browser, with no extensions. New: the Browsing Report shows where your day went, hour by hour, with a focus score that leaves room for planned breaks. Also new: require Touch ID or password to stop blocking. No account, and nothing leaves your Mac. Free for 7 days.
Hey everyone, Andre here. I make Focus Firewall.
We launched here a little over two years ago and have shipped 25 updates since. We care a lot about quality, so most of those were bug fixes, support for new macOS releases, polish to keep the app fresh, and performance work to keep it as fast as possible with the tiniest footprint (full native, 80MB in RAM, near zero CPU usage). The idea is the same as on day one, which is to block the distracting stuff on your Mac during work hours and stay out of the way the rest of the time.
What I've been most careful about is bloat. It's easy for an app like this to pile on features until it becomes one more thing to manage, so we add slowly. This year that meant the Browsing Report, which shows where your day went, and Touch ID confirmation when you want to unblock. We also added a lifetime purchase option for those who prefer it.
