The Focusing App
What The Focusing App is
The Focusing App uses an AI model to decide whether websites and apps fit a selected focus session, then blocks content judged to be outside that purpose. It first evaluates a web address and checks page content when the address alone cannot decide. Sessions include Studying, Working, Creative, and Relaxing, with optional subjects and toggles for Music, Podcasts, and Messaging. Filtering operates at the network layer across every browser and app on the machine, continues after the app window closes, and remains active through a reboot. Users can end a session early by holding an orb for a duration set before starting. The app runs on macOS and Windows; the maker says there is no phone version. A seven-day trial costs nothing, needs no card, and stops filtering when it ends. Individual service costs €9.99 a month for unlimited sessions and all features. Teams and schools pay €9.99 per seat per month for per-machine or global policies under a pilot plan. The maker says rulings are retained without account, device, or personal identifiers.
