The Activity tab is FocusMe’s dashboard for your screen time. It shows how long you were actively using your computer, which apps and websites took that time, how many distractions FocusMe blocked and how much time that saved you.
Activity was previously called Statistics. Everything recorded under the old name is still available here.

The Activity dashboard

Click the pop-out icon in the header (or double-click the Activity tab) to pop the dashboard out into its own window. You can also open it from the tray icon menu.

​
Choosing a period

The header controls which dates are shown:
  • Today / Last 7 Days — the two quick views. Last 7 Days is the default and covers the seven completed days ending yesterday.
  • Previous period / Next period chevrons step backwards and forwards by the current period length.
  • Click the calendar icon to pick a preset: Last Month, This Month, Last Week, This Week, Last 7 Days, Yesterday or Today. When the dates don’t match a preset, the label reads Custom range.
If you use FocusMe on more than one device and have device sync on, the device pill switches between All devices and a single device (this device is marked (this device)).

​
Tiles

Below the tiles, the Daily activity chart plots active time per day for the period. Switch to Today and the chart makes way for the day’s totals, including On-screen time.

Where your time went

Where your time went, Distractions blocked and Weekly Recaps

This panel lists the apps and websites that took the most active time (active time · top N of M). Use the All dropdown to show everything, only apps or only websites, and tick Hide Browsers to leave browser processes out so the websites inside them stand on their own. Click Show all N items → to open the full table with columns Name, Active Time, On-screen Time and Launches. Click a column heading to sort. Hovering a row shows its first and last activity; the row menu offers Remove Item, which hides that app or site from your Activity. Removed items are listed under Exclusion, where Remove brings one back. ← Back to overview returns to the dashboard.

The full items table, sorted by Active Time

Active time counts only while a window is in the foreground and you are using the keyboard or mouse. On-screen time counts whenever the window is visible, so it is useful for apps that run passively on a second monitor.

​
Distractions blocked

The rail on the right lists the apps and websites FocusMe blocked most often in the period, with the number of attempts and the total reclaimed in this period.

​
Weekly Recaps

Click the Weekly Recaps icon in the header (it shows a badge when a new recap is waiting) or the Weekly Recaps entry in the rail.

Weekly Recaps

Each recap card summarises one week: Active time, Distractions blocked, Active days out of 7, the approximate time reclaimed, the change in active time versus the previous week, a seven-day bar chart, and your Top blocked, Top apps and Top sites. If you use Coach, the card ends with a Coach: teaser and a link to Read the coach’s take on this week →. The share icon on each week opens the share dialog for that week. Your first recap appears once FocusMe has tracked a full week of activity. FocusMe notifies you when a new recap is ready.

​
Share your stats

Click the share icon (Share these stats) in the header (or the share icon on a recap) to turn the current period into a square image card.

Share your stats

  • Show my top distractions adds your most-blocked sites and apps to the card (off by default).
  • Light card switches between the light and dark card designs; it follows your app theme by default.
  • Post to: X, LinkedIn, WhatsApp or Facebook creates a share link and opens the network with a pre-filled message. For Facebook the message is copied for you to paste (Post text copied. Paste it as your message if it doesn’t appear automatically.).
  • Copy image puts the card on your clipboard (Image copied. Paste it into your post with Ctrl+V.); Save image… saves it as a PNG.

​
The header menu

The ellipsis menu in the header contains:

The Activity header menu

Clearing history and removing items are not possible while Protect Activity is on (Settings → System): “Cannot clear history while ‘Protect Activity’ is enabled!”. Protect Activity itself can only be switched off when all plans are stopped.

​
Activity Settings

Activity Settings

Click Save to apply. Record Activity and Protect Activity are also available in Settings → System.

​
Privacy

  • Activity is recorded and stored on your computer. Plan, block and app events are always logged locally so your dashboard is complete.
  • Nothing leaves your computer unless you choose it: Sync Between Devices shares daily summaries with your other devices through your account, and Coach & Anonymous Data Collection (in Settings → System) uploads anonymised usage for Coach reports.
  • Sharing a stats card uploads only the image you see in the preview.
  • Delete My Data in Settings → System removes your anonymous usage data from FocusMe’s servers; Clear history → All Devices removes synced activity from your account.

​
Using Activity effectively

  1. Find your biggest time sinks — open Show all items and sort by Active Time.
  2. Set a baseline — track a week without plans, then set limits you can actually keep.
  3. Check that blocks work — if a blocked site still shows active time, review the plan’s targets and your browser addon.
  4. Watch the trend — compare Last 7 Days with the previous period, or read your Weekly Recaps.
