Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 40 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Many customers find the application exceptionally useful for curbing distractions and staying focused, highlighting its effectiveness in promoting productivity and healthy online habits. The customer service is consistently praised for being responsive, helpful, and friendly, with many appreciating the prompt resolution of queries and issues. People also commend the staff for their dedication to improving the software, often incorporating feature requests and fixing bugs quickly. However, some customers also noted that the app can be buggy, experiencing issues like freezing, crashing, or not applying blocking plans correctly, particularly on certain operating systems like Mac OSX Sonoma. A few other people also felt that the app's layout can be complicated to understand initially, and the forced mode feature, while effective, can be inflexible when quick adjustments are needed.

The product does everything I want

The product does everything I want it to. Great customization options, can tailor very specific and diverse plans, everything from break reminders to time limits to complete blocks. Best of all it has strong methods to stop you from "cheating" your block plans while still providing emergency releases.

Amazing App for Saving Time and Staying Productive

There are a range of website blocking apps available. But FocusMe is the best in my view. The reason being is it provides so many different options. Most alternatives only allow you to block a list of sites.

However, with FocusMe you can have different plans to suit your needs. For example, you can time limit some sites while completely blocking others.

Most of us are unaware of how much time each day we are losing to mindless scrolling. FocusMe has saved me so much time and pushed up my productivity.

As someone that is neurodiverse, having an app like FocusMe has made such a difference. Keep up the good work, and I'm looking forward to seeing future product updates.

This is one of the best site/app blockers out there that rivals its competitors. I use it to block social media sites/apps and its a very powerful tool.

If you have issues, the teams are very responsive and helpful. I'll be using this going forwards and have been for a number of years. Thanks to the developers and all the teams.

3 years

I have been a happy user of FocusMe for several years. It helps me manage distracting websites that derailed me. I switched to Focusme from another service because of the regex options. When I have encountered the rare bug, the staff quickly helped me solve the issue or updated the software quickly to address the bug.

Willpower free control of your time

In this milieu of increasingly interesting but vapid Internet content, being able to design your own versatile fences is invaluable. After 1.5 years, I can’t imagine owning a computer without it anymore.

An essential ally of my daily discipline since 2017

I've been using FocusMe since 2017, and it’s been a trusty companion in keeping my digital habits in check. It’s has truly out a lid on my compulsive browsing habits and tame that monkey mind.

What sets it apart is the level of control it gives you—far more nuanced than anything else I’ve tried, and I have tried pretty much everything. You can really tailor it to your needs, whether it's blocking websites, apps, KEYWORDS!! or creating focused routines.

Customer support has always been responsive and helpful over the years, which I genuinely appreciate. I honestly can’t count how many hours it’s helped me save. Grateful to the developer for building something so solid.

Best blocker out there

I've been using FocusMe for over 4 years now, and haven't had nearly as good of an experience with any app or website blocker I tried before or since. The amount of customisation within plans and flexibility is impressive, and whenever I find some workaround, I can either leverage this customisability to block the workaround, or get in contact with the very helpful support team, who have implemented many of my requests for workarounds as features into the app after great perseverance. This is not possible with other blockers. I would strongly recommend you try this!

Nothing comes close to the sophistication and thoroughness of FocusMe software

I researched and then tried software from other sources to help me stop losing time and productivity to the many on-line temptations. Nothing I have tried comes close to the sophistication and thoroughness of FocusMe software. My work life and personal life have greatly improved from using this product.

Flexible Digital Distraction Blocker

I chose FocusMe over other digital distraction blockers because of how easy it was to tailor to my exact preferences. I can block all websites or apps, only specific ones, or only allow certain ones. I can choose the times and days I want to block or allow certain distractions. I can shut distractions off spontaneously. I can create as many different shutoff categories as I want, or use some pre-programmed ones, like social media sites. The interface has a bit of a learning curve, but once you've got it, it's great. Customer service is highly responsive.
