Come funziona FocusMe

How it works, step by step

Every FocusMe plan is built the same way: say what to block, when, and how strict. The wizard walks you through it in four steps, and Quick Setup on first run builds your first plans from two questions. The Plan Library has ready-made plans for social media, games, news, study and sleep if you would rather start from one of those.

1

Cosa bloccare

Type a site, click a ready-made list (Social Media, News, Video Streaming, Messaging, Gaming), or block every site except the ones you allow. Switch to the Applications tab for apps and games: pick from what is installed, or type a name. A path such as youtube.com/shorts blocks one part of a site and leaves the rest open.

2

Quando funziona

A Quick Timer for the next hour. A Weekly Schedule that runs itself: 9 to 5 on weekdays, or 11pm to 7am every night. A Pomodoro cycle. A Multi-Day Plan for exam week. Each interval can block outright, allow a time budget, allow a few short sessions, or enforce a screen break.

3

Quanto severo

Unlocked blocks just the same, but stopping is one click. Gentle Guidance asks for five random characters: a decision, not a reflex. Firm but Flexible adds a wait and three pauses a day. Lock it Down means 25 characters typed perfectly, then a wait, and no pauses. Enforced Mode, under Customize, means the plan runs to its end and can only be made stricter.

Review and go

One page shows what the plan blocks, when it runs and what it takes to stop it. Click Create & Enable and it starts. Blocked sites show the FocusMe block page in every browser; a blocked app closes the moment it opens, with a message that says which plan did it.

Then see what changed

Activity shows active time per app and site, the distractions blocked and the time reclaimed, for today or the last seven days. Tasks keeps a to-do list beside your plans. The Allenatore AI reads your week and suggests concrete changes to your plans, applied in one click.
