App & website blocker · Windows, macOS, Linux
Deep Focus blocks the sites and apps you choose for the length of a session. It can also lock Task Manager, the terminal, system settings and installers, so getting around the block takes more effort than doing the work.
List what’s off-limits: websites, apps, and system tools like Task Manager. Or flip it to an allowlist and name only what you need.
Run a simple timer, or lay out focus blocks and breaks on a timeline with a different profile for each. Recurring sessions can go on the weekly schedule and start on their own.
Rules apply when a focus block begins and lift when it ends. Restarting the computer doesn’t end the session; it picks up where it left off.
Focus profiles
Studying might block Steam and social sites. Writing might allow only Obsidian. Pick a profile per session instead of maintaining one giant list.
Session builder
Drag focus blocks and breaks onto a timeline, set how long each runs, and attach a profile to every focus block.
Website rules
Add a site by name and its subdomains are covered too. The block applies across your browsers, not inside one extension you can switch off.
App rules
Catch a whole games folder with one rule, or a single window by its title. Choose whether a blocked app gets minimized or closed.
Analytics
A heatmap of when you focus, trends over any date range, and which apps tried to pull you away. Session data stays on your machine.

Coffee shops are loud, chaotic, and full of distractions. So why do so many people focus better there than in silence? The answer isn't what you think.
