Can't focus at work or school?
Take control and protect your time.
Can't stop watching YouTube Shorts,
TikTok or Instagram?
Spending too much time on Reddit? Doomscrolling on X?
Unplug from the distracting side of the internet.
Focus on what you opened your Mac for.
Feel like your time is slipping away?
That's by design. Social media and content platforms 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.
One click to intercept distractions.
Flip one switch to activate.
While active, your entire Mac is protected. Anything in the blocklist gets intercepted and blocked.
Browsers won't be able to load blocklisted websites, and blocked apps won't get access to the internet.
Focus Firewall adds a layer of protection to your browsing.
Make websites disappear.
When you go to a blocked website, Focus Firewall intercepts and prevents the browser from loading the page.
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.
Disconnect from apps.
Apps in the blocklist won't be able to access the internet. It's that simple.
Apps may still open, but won't be able to load any content.
It looks like the internet is down, just for that one app.
A minimalist app with just the essentials.
Other apps are too complicated. Too many options, features, endless tweaking. You can start using Focus Firewall in less than a minute.
Does what it needs to do without unnecessary features. Nice interface and doesn't require much interaction.
