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.

Keeps me focused and away from the rabbit holes

I've been using FocusMe since 2018 on both phone and laptop. I have a habit of losing track of time, going down various rabbit holes on YouTube and elsewhere. FocusMe gives me the flexibility to shut down access to whichever rabbit holes i choose at the time I wish and for as long as I want. It has many features that I find useful to stay focused on the projects that matter and have a high impact for me.

FocusMe lets me actually get some work done

FocusMe is great for when I find I am unable to pull myself away from problematic internet behavior (such as endlessly scrolling). It has been helpful in my being able to maintain a steady workflow. I don't know where I would be without it.

A must-have for staying on track

I've tried a few app blockers before, but this one stands out. It's easy to set up, intuitive to use, and — most importantly — it actually works. I love the flexibility of creating custom block lists and schedules. Whether I’m working, studying, or just trying to disconnect, this app helps me stay disciplined. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to take control of their time and boost productivity.

The only app that has stuck with me. Really responsive support

Really responsive support. I have been using for 3 years already. This has been one of the only apps that have stuck with me, which is surprising, considering my ADHD. It helps me plan restriction for the times I am messy and can't restrict or focus myself.

Best Productivity App I Have

I've been using FocusMe for a long time, maybe 5 or 6 years. It's what allowed me to finish my PhD during COVID and it helps me practice the Pomodoro technique when grading papers or writing. Most of all, it limits my social media use to less than 5 minutes at a time, which has been the #1 reason I still use it. Sometimes it has its little bugs (don't forget to do your updates!), but the team is super responsive and has always been able to fix the issue.

Would you go to work in a movie…

Would you go to work in a movie theater, an arcade, or a stadium? No, of course not. So turning your computer back into a simple typewrite equipped with dictionaries, a couple of useful programs, and a few essential web pages might be a good way to gain incredible efficiency. That's what I do with FocusMe. The energy spent on self-discipline can go where it needs to go: into work. It's a relief. And once you get the hang of it, the program never lets you down. It's a real help. Thank you!

I began using FocusMe many years ago.

I began using FocusMe many years ago.
I found it invaluable for helping me to overcome certain addictive behaviors that were chewing into my work time.
Even now that I am retired, I use it to minimize my getting sucked into binging on the news (which, as an American, is like going by a terrible accident- you just can't stop looking.).
As would be expected, when using a program as long as I have this one, little problems will crop up. I have always found the staff to be quick to respond to fix any of my concerns.

I've been using it for years

I've been using it for years, and it can cover all the corners other apps don't. I block everything I don't need for the task at hand, and have a few hours where there's nothing else to do on my laptop other than work.
If there's a technical question I send an email to support and they always respond with useful advice.
