Focus

Thanks for making this. It's beautifully crafted and great attention to detail is shown with the inspirational quotes and the optional b/w icon.

Nice touch showing a motivational quote when you try to visit the blocked website. I've been using Concentrate[1] so far with great results. It has a few more options (such as a…

This app is awesome! I've tried out others, StayFocused, manually editing /etc/hosts, but I love the simplicity of this. Would it be possible to add exceptions to sites? For…

I could really use this ! but seems fine (get the nice inspirational quotes) with Chrome and Safari, but Firefox still is able to get through. I am typing this using Firefox 26 ...

I just can't seem to get Focus to work. I am using DNSCrypt from OpenDNS, but when I disable it, I still can't get Focus to work. I have Automatic Proxy Discovery and Automatic…

Looks pretty useful but since its OS X only, so I can't use it. Btw, just cursious: >Do you have a grayscale icon? I don't like colorful icons in my menubar. Wow, are all Mac…

It would be cool if you could set a schedule for certain times to block sites (or time limits). There are various browser extensions for this, but it would be more effective on…

Nice, exactly what I'm looking for. A few ideas for features: More options in the filter preferences. How are wildcards handled and multiple domains? A system-wide hotkey for…

I saw a lot of these apps out there but none that worked quite how I wanted. I wrote a little more about this in the case study: http://bradjasper.com/blog/case-study-focus/…

I'm working on integrating some of this into Focus already, and plan on adding pre-focus & post-focus hooks to add your own custom functionality to cover everything else. Should…

This is great, thanks for releasing the app and the source code. Just one question, why is it so big? 1.8mb executable seems quite large. Still, fantastic!

I've been using StayFocusd for this exact purpose for years. As others have mentioned, there are rather a lot of extensions and apps that will selectively block distracting sites…

Have you tried "StayFocusd" for Chrome? The issue is it's too easy to disable a Chrome extension, and then you need to re-enable to get it back. It would be better if they…

I've been using an app called Concentrate (http://www.getconcentrating.com/) for probably 5 years that does the same thing, but it also lets you define apps and services to block…

There's an older app called Self Control that does this but for a specified time window and cannot be disabled once it's started, including by rebooting. http://selfcontrolapp.com/

I've been desperately looking for an app with this feature. Can you look at how "LeechBlock" for Firefox works? It's practically perfect but's only for Firefox. :)

I just use RescueTime's get focus functionality.
