# What is FocusMe?

> The distraction blocker that helps you stay focused, break bad habits, and take control of your screen time.

FocusMe is a desktop application for **Windows**, **macOS**, and **Linux** that blocks distracting websites, applications, and even your entire computer on a schedule you control.

## How It Works

FocusMe uses **Plans** — configurable rules that define what to block, when to block it, and how strictly to enforce it. Each plan has four components:

1. **Targets** — The websites and/or applications to block (or allow)
2. **Plan Type** — How to enforce blocking (total block, time limit, launch limit, or screen breaks)
3. **Schedule** — When the plan runs (on-demand, weekly schedule, Pomodoro, or multi-day)
4. **Protection** — How hard it is to bypass (none, password, random characters, or enforced)

You can run multiple plans simultaneously. For example, one plan blocks social media during work hours while another enforces screen breaks every 45 minutes.

## Supported Platforms

| Platform    | Versions                                             |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Windows** | Windows 10 and later                                 |
| **macOS**   | macOS 12 (Monterey) and later, Intel + Apple Silicon |
| **Linux**   | Debian-based distributions (Ubuntu, etc.)            |

A browser extension for **Chrome**, **Firefox**, **Edge**, and other Chromium-based browsers works alongside the desktop app for reliable website blocking.
