FocusMe is a desktop application for Windows, macOS, and Linux that blocks distracting websites, applications, and even your entire computer on a schedule you control.
Whether you need to stay focused during deep work, limit social media, enforce screen breaks, or set up parental controls — FocusMe gives you the tools to make it happen.

What Can FocusMe Do?

Block Websites

Block specific sites like Reddit or TikTok, or block the entire internet and whitelist only what you need.

Block Applications

Block any desktop application — games, messaging apps, browsers, or anything else that pulls your attention.

Set Time Limits

Allow yourself a daily budget of distraction time (e.g., 30 minutes of social media per day) and FocusMe enforces it.

Enforce Screen Breaks

Automatically lock your screen at regular intervals to protect your eyes and prevent burnout.

Lock Yourself Out

Password-protect or force-lock your plans so you can’t cheat — even if you really want to.

Track Your Time

See exactly how you spend your screen time with detailed usage statistics and charts.

How It Works

FocusMe uses Plans — configurable rules that define what to block, when to block it, and how strictly to enforce it. Each plan has four components:
  1. Targets — The websites and/or applications to block (or allow)
  2. Plan Type — How to enforce blocking (total block, time limit, launch limit, or screen breaks)
  3. Schedule — When the plan runs (on-demand, weekly schedule, Pomodoro, or multi-day)
  4. Protection — How hard it is to bypass (none, password, random characters, or forced)
You can run multiple plans simultaneously. For example, one plan blocks social media during work hours while another enforces screen breaks every 45 minutes.
