Be Focused features


Transparent and effective task manager

Effortlessly manage your actual to-do list. Brainstorm new ideas and put them into the list not to miss something you care about. Line up the things that matter in a well-structured and organized manner. Complete everything on time and enjoy that satisfactory sense of having things done.


Streamlined, responsive focus timer

Set the time for work, concentrate on your work without disturbances. Determine the number of your breaks and how long your breaks between the tasks should be. One more thing to enjoy - unlike other similar generic to-do lists applications, this app allows you to start, pause, or skip work interval.


Your personal goal tracker

Break your annual goals into quarterly, monthly, weekly and daily to-dos. Get stuff done in a smart, helpful and smooth way. Schedule tasks to appear in your list. Stimulate your creativity and expand your sense of what is possible. Become the actual doer you did not think you are.


Tailored to your ultimate needs

To organize your daily routine in a preferable way, customize this useful goal tracker to your needs. Adjust the intervals, target number of intervals per day. Find yourself getting used to being productive and you will quite rapidly grow this into a habit.


Brilliantly works across all devices

Use this helpful time tracking app to stay in sync no matter where you are and wherever go. Create tasks on your Mac, edit them during your lunchtime in the cafe with iPhone, and check the progress from the comfort of your home with your iPad. Note that Setapp does not include the iOS version, it should be purchased separately.


Generate CSV files within seconds

Create and manage tasks in a fast and effective manner. For more flexibility on the go, or for any freelancing and statistical purposes, export the needed data to a CSV file with ease. Always be on the right path to complete all your goals and have them carefully logged.

    App version: 2.5

    With Version 2.5, this app has suddenly become the best focus tool on the market. I would almost call it revolutionary. Put it in whitelist mode, and all apps other than the ones you choose will be blocked (hidden). There are a couple of other apps on the market that do this, but they have the annoying limitation that it’s cumbersome or impossible to adjust blocking settings during a block. Or they have other issues. Be Focused allows real-time settings adjustment, which for my workflow makes it perfect. This is the first tool I’ve found that fits my workflow and focus style. Already getting more done. Many thanks! (It appears that site blocking only works on Safari, so I’ve just added Safari as the only whitelisted browser apps, and then then the site whitelist works as it should.)
