Focus Firewall is a minimalist web blocker to keep away social media and other distractions while you work or study.
Leave X, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok and Instagram for later.
That's by design. Most websites today profit from your attention and are designed to keep you hooked.
All it takes is one innocent click to fall into the rabbit hole.
Focus Firewall prevents that first click.
Once activated, your entire Mac is protected from distracting websites and apps in the blocklist.
Any time you try to load a blocked website or app, Focus Firewall intercepts and prevents it.
Focus Firewall adds a layer of protection to your browsing.
When you go to a blocklisted website, Focus Firewall intercepts and prevents the browser from loading it.
It looks like the internet is down, just for that website.
Some websites like YouTube and X may still show a cached version of the page, but videos or tweets certainly won't load.
Apps in the blocklist won't be able to access the internet. The app may still open, but won't be able to load any content.
It looks like the internet is down, just for that one app.
Other apps are too complicated. Too many options, timers, sessions. Endless tweaking.
Focus Firewall is intentionally simple and it takes less than a minute to set up.
Protect your work days and schedule Focus Firewall to activate blocking for you. You don't have to remember to turn it on every day.
Pause blocking for a few minutes while you take a break. Blocking resumes after the break, helping you get back in the zone.
The app includes a curated blocklist with hundreds of websites and apps that are known to be time-wasters.
YouTube, X, TikTok, Reddit, Instagram, Netflix and other 140+ distracting websites are already included.
You can also add any website or app to the list.
