Sometimes you need zero internet distractions. FocusMe can block every website and let you whitelist only what you need.

​
Setup

  1. Add a Plan → choose your plan type (Stay Focused recommended)
  2. In the Websites step, choose Block All Websites
  3. Add exceptions — the sites you still need:
Common work whitelist: 
docs.google.com
drive.google.com
github.com
stackoverflow.com
slack.com
  1. Set your schedule and protection
  2. Click Done

​
Tips

  • Whitelist authentication providers. If your work tools use Google or Microsoft SSO, add accounts.google.com and login.microsoftonline.com to your whitelist.
  • Allow Google Drive and Docs together. See How to allow Google Drive and Docs.
  • Test before adding protection. Run the plan without protection first to make sure your whitelist covers everything you need. Then add protection once you’re confident.
  • Pair with app blocking. Blocking all websites doesn’t block desktop apps that connect to the internet (Spotify, email clients, etc.). Add those separately if needed.
If you use Forced protection with a “block all websites” plan, make absolutely sure your whitelist is complete. You won’t be able to modify it until the schedule ends.
