Everything you need to know about FocusMe. Can't find what you're looking for? Contact our support team.
After you configure it, FocusMe runs in the background and monitors which websites or applications you are using. Information is only stored locally on your PC - it is never uploaded. When you visit a blocked site or open a blocked app, FocusMe detects it and closes or redirects it.
Absolutely. FocusMe is 100% safe to use. All our files are scanned with VirusTotal. Your data stays local on your device and is never shared or uploaded.
FocusMe tracks browsing history stored locally on your device only - never on our servers. You can disable activity tracking entirely in the settings if you prefer.
The standard version requires administrator privileges for full functionality. A non-administrator version is also available if needed.
Yes. FocusMe can block any application on your desktop. If you have trouble blocking a specific app, contact our support team and we'll help you set it up.
Yes. You can create multiple plans that are active at different times of day or days of the week. Each plan can be set to fully block, impose time limits, or limit launch counts - giving you complete flexibility.
On Windows, enable "Protect Uninstall" in settings. On macOS, enable and password-protect at least one plan. On Android, this feature is only available in the direct version (not the Play Store version).
RegEx means Regular Expressions, which provides advanced blocking capabilities. It lets you block groups of sites or apps using pattern matching - for example, blocking all subdomains of a site or all URLs containing a specific keyword.
Yes. Plans sync between Windows and Mac devices. Android sync is in development.
No. Entering your activation code preserves all your plans and settings exactly as they are.
FocusMe is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.
We're exploring development but there's no confirmed ETA. In the meantime, you can use Apple's built-in Screen Time feature on iOS. Contact us if you'd like to be notified when an iOS version is available.
Not yet. Get in touch if you'd like to be notified when a Chromebook version becomes available.
FocusMe supports all major browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera, Brave, and many others. Blocking works across all browsers simultaneously - no extension required.
The Chrome and Firefox extensions are optional add-ons for the FocusMe desktop application. They improve URL detection for more accurate blocking. FocusMe works without them, but they provide enhanced blocking capabilities.
Yes. FocusMe works regardless of proxy usage. Blocking works via URL detection or webpage title matching.
