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 — up to 3 main goals a day, synced from Things 3 or Reminders if you like.
- Start a session — countdown timer, stopwatch, or full Pomodoro cycles.
- FocusMo protects you — distracting apps get closed, distracting websites get redirected, macOS Do Not Disturb turns on.
- See what happened — an activity timeline shows where your time really went, and streaks, badges, and records keep the habit alive.
