What is Focusmo?
A macOS focus timer that blocks distractions, tracks your time, and helps you finish what matters.
Focusmo is a focus timer and task manager for macOS, built for people whose attention is their most valuable (and most fragile) resource — developers, writers, students, anyone doing deep work.
The loop is simple:
- Pick a task — type it in, or bring it over from Things, Reminders, Todoist and other task managers (free on every plan). The Up next card on the Focus screen always shows what starts next.
- Start a block — countdown timer, stopwatch, or full Pomodoro rounds.
- Focusmo protects you — distracting apps get closed, distracting websites get redirected, macOS Do Not Disturb turns on.
- See what happened — Insights shows today's focus, your streak, and an activity timeline of where your time really went; the day wrap and weekly recap sum it up.
