The record

Purpose: Focusly tracks application and website time, supports daily limits, runs focus sessions, and blocks distracting sites.
Pomodoro: Focusly provides 25-minute pomodoro sessions with focus-day and streak tracking.
Tracking scope: The app reads the foreground application and supported browser address-bar URL, but not keystrokes, clipboard contents, screenshots, or file contents.
Blocking: Focusly provides soft warnings and optional hard termination, with one-click overrides available.
Schedules: Users can schedule app blocking for work hours or wind-down periods with a live blocked-items preview.
Local storage: Usage history, schedules, and focus sessions are stored in a single SQLite file on the user's device.
Accounts: Focusly has no account system, login, cloud sync, analytics, or telemetry.
Offline use: The main desktop app works fully offline; network access is only needed for the optional Chromium extension.
Windows support: Focusly runs natively on Windows 10 and Windows 11 using Tauri and WebView2.
macOS support: Focusly supports macOS 11 Big Sur and later on both Intel and Apple Silicon.
Browser extension: The Focusly Blocker Chrome extension redirects blocked sites to a local block page and requires the desktop app to be running.
Website blocking: On Windows, Focusly writes blocked sites to the system hosts file and supports temporary or permanent unblocking.
Licensing: Focusly's full source is available on GitHub under the MIT license.
Support: Users can report issues through GitHub Issues or email [email protected] for private questions.
