Great product to focus
I have been using FocusMe for almost five years. I really benefit from it, it's amazing how your ability to focus on a single item over long stretches of time grows back when you block out distractions. When I turn FocusMe on I feel relief and freedom.

Thank you for being with us for nearly five years — that means a lot, Joachim! We're so glad to hear FocusMe has helped restore your focus and bring you a sense of relief. It's exactly why we do what we do.
Wishing you continued deep focus and success!
Life-restoring software with a responsive support team.
FocusMe gave me the choice to opt out of the endlessly distracting marketing algorithms that dominate our minds in today's attention economy, singlehandedly granting me agency over my own destiny. Five stars isn't enough.
Support team is responsive and polite. If needed, you can ask them for emergency stop codes if you go overboard with blocking, but you can also request that they only give you a finite amount of codes per month so that you aren't constantly running away from the limits you set for yourself.

Thank you for the amazing review, Henri! We're thrilled that FocusMe has helped you take back control in today’s distraction-filled world. It’s great to hear our emergency code system and support team are working well for you.
We’re here if you ever need anything — stay focused!
Some basic functions are missing
Without ChatGPT I wouldn't know how to set up even basic functionality. The interface is unnecessarily complicated, and some basic functions are missing. For example, I can't set the maximum daily and hourly time, say a maximum of 15 minutes per hour, and 2 hours per day. In addition, I can't set the ban to be for the entire YouTube except for exceptions for individual channels that are business-useful. You advertise that you have a Windows and Android app, but the Android app can't read Windows settings.
I regret paying for the entire year up front.

Hi Dean,
Thanks for your feedback.
We checked our systems and could not find any record of you reaching out for help — which is a shame, as we would have been more than happy to assist you directly.
I'm sorry to hear you found the setup confusing. I also sent you a detailed email yesterday to help with the points you raised — in case you missed it, here’s a quick summary:
You can have multiple plans — one limiting daily time and one limiting hourly time. As a tip: after setting up one plan, you can simply right-click to duplicate it, then edit the duplicate to set the different time period you want.
Whilst direct filtering of YouTube channels isn't available yet, you can partially allow specific channels by using Website Title filtering.
We also offer a 60-day refund guarantee, so there’s no need to regret your purchase if you feel FocusMe isn’t the right fit.
I also apologize that our online chat service has been temporarily unavailable, as one of our colleagues was taken seriously ill and hospitalized. Being a small team, this has affected our support availability.
We’d still love the chance to help you get everything working the way you want — or arrange a full refund if you'd prefer.
Sincerely,
Jon Rumens

Its a nice app but in android you can just avoid the blocking by starting a blocked app in shared screen mode like youtube. Then you can swipe the app to fullscreen and now you can use the blocked app.
Update: I got the new beta version of focus me from one staff which fixes this problem. Focus me is in a flawless path to block distractions

Do yourself a favor and get this app
Do yourself a favor and get this app, take the free trial, two weeks i believe, you will make the purchase decision on day 1, the level of control on this app is just amazing, my fav feature is the fact that when a certain plan is on, it is insanely hard to stop it and unblock what ever u blocked! the use cases of this product are illimited, i hope the team keeps surprising us with new features
PS: DeepSeek recommended me this app, i signed up for the yearly plan, and it was the best investment i made this year so far!

No other app of this kind comes close
When I say I've tried every single piece of software an app to control my internet use I mean it. And there is nothing that compares to this software. It allows you a level of control that no other software allows. The only caveat is there are limitations on apple devices that are not the fault of this company but make it harder to have complete control. So I recommend using pC and Android if you're the type of person that struggles with internet addiction so that you can really lock yourself out of those bad habits.

Thanks so much for the great review, HG! We're honored that FocusMe stood out after you tried so many tools. You're right—the limitations on Apple devices are tough, but we’re always working to improve where we can. Using PC and Android for full control is great advice. We really appreciate your support!
Reliable app with outstanding customer support
I’ve been using FocusMe for a while now, and I just want to say how impressed I am with their support.
Whenever I’ve had an issue or a question, their team has been incredibly responsive, kind, and helpful.
It’s clear that they really care about their users.
I highly recommend FocusMe not just for the app itself, but also for the amazing support behind it.

increase productivity with support
I was having a few issues with the focus me program.
However the team at focus me was very responsive and had a real "can do" attitude. As I am in Australia I had been reluctant to reach out, because of the time differences, but when I did they got back to me very quickly and went out of their way to help with the issues. I was able to make an appointment with one of the team members who helped me to set up the focusme plans and I am looking forward to being more productive with the program. I would recommend this program to anyone who has difficulty focusing. Thankyou to Ryan who booked in a call with me to make sure I understood the program and helped me to set up my plans.

Great customer support, great blocking.
I’ve been using the application for 2 years now, going into my third
Very good customer support. Very good blocking on FocusMe, couldn’t find a way to avoid it despite continuous efforts to do so in the beginning, does take time to set up, but pays off very well later.
Works very well on Windows, and MacOS.
Had a positive effect on my life, was a very useful aid in my behavioural changes, among other factors.
Still needs work on Android though, could be avoided easily on android in certain settings, even though these settings are supposed to be the most tightly enforced.
