The average person can't focus for more than 11 minutes

Research from UC Irvine shows we switch tasks every 11 minutes. And it takes 25 minutes to regain deep focus. That's 2.5 hours lost every single day. Not because you lack willpower — because your tools let you escape.

Three clicks to deep focus

Install once. No blocklists. No configuration. Just pick and lock.

1

Pick your app

Choose the app you need to focus on from your running apps. One click.

2

Set your timer

25 minutes? 45? 90? Pick a preset or set your own.

3

Lock in

Everything else is blocked. Alt+Tab disabled. App switching blocked. Just you and your work.

When time's up, you're free. Simple as that.

Built for people who actually need to focus

Not another gentle reminder. Real boundaries that work.

Key feature

Hard Lock Mode

Not a gentle reminder. Alt+Tab, Cmd+Tab, and taskbar are blocked. The only way out is solving a math problem. Built for ADHD brains that need real boundaries.

YouTube Mode

Need to focus on a tutorial or lecture? YouTube Mode keeps you on the video without letting you fall into the recommendation rabbit hole.

Streaks & Stats

Track your focus hours, maintain daily streaks, see your top apps. Your data builds over time — making FocusPokus more valuable the longer you use it.

Mac & Windows

Native app. Not an Electron wrapper, not a browser extension. Real OS-level blocking that actually works. Built with Rust for speed and security.

Built by someone who couldn't focus either

I built FocusPokus because I have ADHD and every "focus app" let me cheat. I needed something I literally couldn't bypass. Now I use it every day — and my average focus session went from 7 minutes to 20.

Questions

What happens when the timer ends?
FocusPokus unlocks everything and shows you a summary of your session — how long you focused, your daily total, and your streak. That's it. No upsells, no notification spam.
What if I need to quit urgently?
There's always an emergency exit. In Hard Lock mode, you solve a quick math problem — it takes about 15 seconds. Enough friction to stop impulse-switching, but never enough to trap you.
Does it work offline?
Yes. FocusPokus works entirely on your machine. No internet needed for focus sessions. License checks happen once every few days when you're online.
Is there a free version?
Yes. You get 7 days of full access — no limits. After that, the free tier gives you 1 focus session per day, forever. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited sessions.
Mac and Windows — what about Linux?
Currently Mac and Windows. Linux support is on the roadmap.
How is this different from Cold Turkey or Freedom?
Most blockers make you configure blocklists of websites and apps. FocusPokus works the opposite way: pick ONE app to focus on, everything else is locked. No setup, no lists, no configuration.
