The Helper Tool tells you exactly how FocusMe sees a running application or website — its process name, window title, path, and URL. This is essential for creating precise blocking rules.

Tips

  • Switch to the target app first, then activate the Helper. It reads the currently focused window.
  • Electron apps (Discord, Slack, VS Code, Spotify) are essentially bundled browsers. They have their own process names but may show multiple processes in Task Manager. Use the process name from the Helper, not Task Manager.
  • Windows Store (UWP) apps sometimes run under ApplicationFrameHost.exe. In this case, match by window title instead of process name for more reliable blocking.
  • Games each have their own process name. Launch the game, then use the Helper to find it. For Steam games, the process name is the game’s executable, not steam.exe.
