FocusMe can block any application on your computer — games, messaging apps, browsers, or anything else.
Quick Setup
- Add a Plan → choose your plan type
- In the Applications step, choose Block Some Apps
- Click Add App
- Pick the app using one of four methods:
| Tab | Best For |
|---|
| Process | Apps currently running — select from the list |
| Installed | Browse all installed applications |
| Windows | Select from currently open windows |
| Custom | Enter a process name or window title manually |
- Set your schedule and protection
- Click Done
Blocking Games
Steam Games
Block the game itself, not Steam:
- Steam’s process is
steam.exe — blocking this prevents access to the store, library, and all games
- Individual games have their own process names — use the Helper Tool to find them while the game is running
To block all Steam games without blocking the Steam client, see Block All Steam Games.
Epic Games / Other Launchers
Same principle — block the game executable, not the launcher. Use the Helper Tool while the game is running to find the correct process name.
Common Game Process Names
| Game | Process |
|---|
| Minecraft | javaw.exe (match by title “Minecraft” instead) |
| Fortnite | FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping.exe |
| League of Legends | League of Legends.exe |
| Valorant | VALORANT-Win64-Shipping.exe |
| Roblox | RobloxPlayerBeta.exe |
Game process names can change with updates. If blocking stops working after a game update, use the Helper Tool to re-identify the process name.
Blocking by Window Title
Some applications are easier to block by window title than process name:
- Windows Store (UWP) apps that share
ApplicationFrameHost.exe
- Games running through shared launchers
- Specific content within an app (e.g., block windows titled “Netflix”)
In the Custom tab, enter the window title text and select Title matching.
