I installed this application because I found it on Reddit (post by the author). Seems really nice, and the Network blocker works great with Safari, Chrome, even Arc. Though I also have Zen browser, and it does not block Zen’s network access. I guess this is because there is an heuristic somewhere determining what is a browser and what it’s not. So it would be nice to be able to add Zen as a browser. Another point: Websites cannot be configured, and I instinctively open lichess.com to play chess, and would like to block this too but cannot. Last point, apps cannot be blocked.

I was looking for a SelfControl alternative and stumbled on this. Turns out it's way better. The best part is the schedule feature. It blocks distracting sites during the times I set, so I don’t have to remember to start anything. If I sit down early, I can still check the news before my shift starts, and then the block kicks in automatically. The app’s also really simple and stays out of the way, which I appreciate. No fluff, just works. The lifetime option is also great if you don’t want to worry about yet another subscription.

I really liked it; it's so easy to use and works well in the menu bar. It helps you to stay more focused when working or studying.

Does what it needs to do without unnecessary features. Nice interface and doesn't require much interaction.

My main distractions at work have always been messaging apps. Using focus firewall for the last week, it's amazing how much more focused I've been having them blocked.
The app is easy to use, works very well with my installed apps, and lets me quickly add additional ones to block and also track what it has blocked. I will definitely keep using it!

I've been using this app for a few weeks and it's been a great way to block certain websites and applications so that I can focus on what I turned my computer on for.
I have used various browser plugins in the past, but hadn't ever found something to block apps.
If you're looking to cut down on distractions and focus, this app will surely help.

I love the automatic focus schedules and the reminder that I'm getting distracted. Instead of an alert in the app I would love to the mindful nudge to a native notification.

Focus Firewall is a game-changer for anyone struggling with online distractions.
The scheduler (called Working Hours) makes the app work on autopilot, blocking distracting websites during my working hours seamlessly. The built-in blocklists cover all major distractions like social media and streaming services, and I can easily customize them. The Pause feature is super handy for quick access when needed.
Seeing how much time I've saved and the number of websites blocked is a real eye-opener. Focus Firewall respects my autonomy and treats me like an adult, giving me the tools to manage my time effectively.
Overall, Focus Firewall has become an indispensable part of my workflow, helping me reclaim hours of focus every day. Highly recommend it!
