Hi all! I'm Jordan, Product Designer at Raycast 👋🏻
We’re super excited to be kicking off the new year with our first release, Raycast Focus! This idea was born from one of our Rayday’s, and has since become another invaluable tool to many on the team.
Big shout out to @adilrc for tackling this feature head on, and his attention to detail. And to @thomaspaulmann & @petr_nikolaev for riffing and building the early prototype. 👏🏻
Now it’s your turn to set a goal, block out distractions and get more work done in 2025! 💪🏻
Here’s what to expect:🎯 Set your Goal: This can be a specific task, or a broader aim for the whole day
⏲️ Choose a Duration: Define how long you want to focus for. You can use natural language like “Until 6pm”.
🚫 Block apps & websites: Block out all the distracting apps and websites on your mac that try to pull you away from your focus. You can add websites and apps individually, or select from our set of categories like “Social Media” or “Streaming”.
You’re in full control throughout your focus session. So if there’s an urgent Slack message or waiting for code to compile, you can easily snooze the block then jump right back to your work.

Enjoy your focus time, and we can’t wait to hear your feedback!
