## What Makes FocusMe Different

FocusMe combines strong enforcement with flexibility. Unlike simple browser extensions (LeechBlock NG, StayFocusd), it integrates with the system to block websites across all browsers and also block apps and games. Unlike monitoring-only tools (RescueTime), it actively blocks distractions. Its Enforced Mode is stronger than most competitors, preventing users from bypassing blocking during active sessions. It supports more platforms than most alternatives (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android).
