The Plans list supports right-click context menus, an inline drawer, drag-to-reorder, and a handful of dialogs for bulk actions. This page covers every plan action and when it is available.

​
Plan Status

The status pill on each row tells you which actions apply:

​
Context Menu

Right-click a plan (or click the gear icon on an Off plan — it becomes a ⋮ button once the plan is active) to see its actions. The menu changes with the plan’s status. Clicking the stop button on an active row opens a small popup with just two choices, Pause and Stop.

​
Off or Expired plans

Context menu for a stopped plan

If the plan’s Edit protection challenge is set, you’ll be asked to complete it before editing or deleting.

​
Active plans

Context menu for an active plan

​
Standby plans

A standby plan shows the same menu as an active one, with two differences: Skip Delay replaces Extend Time on a Quick Timer that is waiting to start, and the break and skip actions aren’t offered.

​
Paused plans

The add-to-list, Edit, Duplicate, Export, Import, and Submit to Library items are available in every state.

​
Edit in the Drawer

Click a plan row once to open its drawer. Each column has a shortcut into the right wizard step:
  • WHAT IT BLOCKS → Edit blocks opens What to block
  • HOW STRICT → Edit protection opens How strict
  • COMING UP → Edit schedule opens When it runs
You can also double-click the plan name to open the wizard at the first step.

​
Rename a Plan

There is no separate Rename command. Instead:
  1. Open the drawer and click the pencil beside the plan name. Type the new name and press Enter (or Esc to cancel).
  2. Or open the wizard with Edit and change the name in the header field. The wizard warns you if the name is empty (Plan name required) or already used (A plan with this name already exists).
If you have accountability partners, a plan must be stopped before it can be renamed.

​
Duplicate a Plan

Right-click → Duplicate creates an exact copy with all settings. The copy is created switched off and named after the original — Focus at Work (copy), then (copy 2), and so on. Duplicating is the quickest way to make variations — a weekday and a weekend version of the same plan, for example.

​
Export and Import

Turn on Enable Import & Export of Plans in Settings → System to add Export and Import to the context menu.
  • Export saves the plan as a .fmp file — handy for backups or moving plans to another computer.
  • Import lets you pick an .fmp file and choose which of its plans to bring in.
See Import and Export Plans for details.

​
Delete Plans

Delete removes a single plan after asking Are you sure you want to delete this plan?. Only plans that are Off or Expired can be deleted — stop a plan first. Delete All opens the Delete Plans dialog. Every deletable plan is listed with a checkbox; untick any plans you want to keep, then click Delete Selected (N). Running and protected plans are not listed, so they can never be swept away by accident.

The Delete Plans dialog

​
Reorder Plans

Drag a row (or a tile in tiles view) to move it. The order is saved between sessions. Dragging applies to the Custom order sort — switch back to it from the sort menu if you’ve sorted by Name.

​
Submit to Library

When you’re logged in, Submit to Library shares a plan with other FocusMe users. Give the plan a description first, then choose a display name and category in the Submit Plan to Library dialog. See Use the Plan Library.
To add a target to a running plan, use Add Site to Blacklist or Add App to Blacklist rather than opening the full wizard — it’s faster and never asks you to stop the plan.
