FocalFilter Block Distracting Websites

Focus Better and Get More Done

FocalFilter is a free productivity tool that helps you focus by temporarily blocking distracting websites. After the block timer runs out, your websites are available for you to view again.

1. Run FocalFilter.
2. You choose which websites to block.
3. Set how long they should blocked for.
4. Get more work done.

One Block, All Browsers

FocalFilter was built to work with every Windows web browser including Chrome and Firefox.

Adding a Website to FocalFilter

Just copy and paste the address from your browser's address bar.

Examples

• Correct: http://www.facebook.com
• Also correct: www.facebook.com

(If you don't see a "www" in the address bar, then don't add it when you paste into FocalFilter.)

The list of blocked sites is saved for the next time you run FocalFilter.

Uninstalling FocalFilter while sites are blocked will not remove the blocks. But it will prevent FocalFilter from removing the blocks when the timer runs out.

If FocalFilter is still installed, you can remove the blocks early by rebooting your computer.
