Focus Firewall is a minimalist web blocker designed to help you stay focused and avoid distractions while you work or study. BUILT FOR FOCUS Focus Firewall is built for people who use their Mac to get things done — programmers, designers, writers, teachers, researchers, students — anyone who wants fewer distractions and more control of their time online. It’s especially helpful if you want to: • Stay focused while working or studying • Spend less time on social media or news • Avoid falling into endless video or scrolling loops • Build better digital habits gradually • Stop doomscrolling, avoid binge-watching, and escape infinite scrolling KEY FEATURES • A firewall to protect your time and attention Focus Firewall prevents your browser from loading distracting websites – it’ll look like the web is down just for that website. Same for apps. • One simple schedule Set your work days and hours once, and Focus Firewall will automatically block distractions on that schedule. • Ready to go, no tweaking needed Set up in under a minute. Comes preloaded with 150+ popular websites already blocked. • Works in every major browser, no extensions required Supports Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi, Opera, Orion, Horse, Zen, Dia, Microsoft Edge, Safari Technology Preview, Comet, Helium, ChatGPT Atlas. WHAT SETS FOCUS FIREWALL APART • Minimalist by design, just the essentials Forget sessions, timers and limits. Focus Firewall takes a simpler approach: one switch to block distractions, and one schedule to automatically flip that switch on/off for you. • Progress over perfection Lasting change takes time. Instead of strict password locks, Focus Firewall helps you reduce distractions gradually. With the scheduler active, your workday starts protected. Need a break? Hit pause and make a conscious choice about how long to spend. Turned it off? No worries – you’ve already made some progress today, and tomorrow it starts all over again. • Privacy-first No sign-up, no tracking, no personal data. Our business consists of selling great apps. You can optionally allow anonymous usage & crash data to help us improve Focus Firewall. EXTRAS * Customizable blocklists: add, edit, delete, disable any website or app. You can also make exceptions and allowlist specific subdomains you need for work. * Shortcuts: control the app using shortcuts.

A great way to temporarily block sites and apps and allow yourself to focus.

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 comuter 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.

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!
