Good app but does not work on Dia Browser.

Super simple and works in all browsers I use. What I'm only missing is the ability to adjust the sound on Pomodoro Sessions that signals the end of the time interval. It's much too quiet and unspecific for me to notice that it's time to take a short break.

Poor UI and and not the best UX at all and when you decide to delete it using raycast, hazel anything, the files just linger on

CPU hog and doesn't even work

Hello, for very large block lists (hundreds) CPU may be a little higher, but shouldn't be during normal usage. If something isn't working please email [email protected] and we can help you get setup. Focus does need a permission, which it should prompt you on first run. You can find more here: https://heyfocus.com/docs/getting-started/install/

UPDATE 3: Developer has continued to improve the UI! Good stuff. UPDATE 2: v2 is now out on SetApp but the UI has me a bit stumped. Why do I have to stop my schedule so I can access my preferences?! Why do I need to have it counting down the time in my menu bar? I want to turn that off. Overall, better features but the UI has taken a backwards slide. UPDATE 1: Looks like the Developer has released v2 but not via SetApp. Not sure how I feel about that. Before this app, I used self-control which is VERY powerful - too powerful. Being able to use breaks to look up info / give myself an actual break / is the power feature of this.

Great app. I would recommend one additional feature: possibility to set sounds for taking a break and ending of break and end of period. Or, maybe adding sounds with human voice that says “beginning of break”, “end of break”, etc.

If I have an emergency and need to access a website/app while the block is active, I can't stop it until the time expires. If I want to force the unlock, I have to request a token, but I have no idea where it should come from (by email, through the program, or I don't know) to unlock the app. The worst app of my life! I couldn't recall a customer because this app won't let me.

It’s been over a year since Focus 2 replaced Focus 1 and the time limit for blocks is still 24 hours. Lame

No icon in menu bar, not work at all (M4, 15.1).
Response from Developer

This is likely a bug in macOS where the icon is hidden because you have too many icons in your menubar. Please check https://heyfocus.com/docs/getting-started/using-focus/#1-look-for-focus-icon-in-menubar

I actually opened Setapp today just to give a thumb up to Focus 2. I've been using it today and I love it. It just works. I like being able to start unlimited focus sessions with breaks.

Focus 2 looks like a downgrade from the original Focus. There are many features from the original Focus, that are missing in Focus 2. Now we can’t even import a list of websites to block. The developer added new features and removed old features. That’s not ideal. You should add new features, while keeping the old features.

Focus 2 can do everything Focus 1 can do and more. Please email support and we'd be happy to help you work through any issues you're having.

I’m not able to use the app anymore since it requires passwords for Settings (that I don’t have), and the tooltip window is blue, and blocking doesn’t even work anymore when in Focus mode. Uninstalling until all those things are fixed.

Amazing app. Firefox needs an extension. The app setup process can make that a little more smooth or at least give better up-front guidance on what to do. Safari and Chrome have the extension automatically installed.

Installed it today in hopes that the stats seem better than Focus 1, but you can’t seem to import/export the websites list anymore like you could on Focus 1. I don’t understand why would they not add that feature, it’s such a basic feature. Switching back to Focus 1

There is a way to do this but it's different than how it works in Focus v1. I tried to simplify the app so moved some of the features that aren't used as often to other menus. Please email [email protected] and I can walk you through how to do this.

Great app! I really like it very much. I have tried so many focus apps, this is actually the best so far.
