Forcus
Lock the Mac to one thing until the timer ends.
Unsigned build: right-click → Open on first launch.
Forcus is a macOS menu-bar app that locks your computer to a single focus activity — read for ten minutes, write for twenty — on login or on demand, until the timer completes.
Pick a focus screen, start the session, and everything else stays out of reach. Create and manage custom focus screens with their own durations, allowed apps and websites, and lock modes.
It runs on this Mac only, with a local SwiftData database and no server. Calm system windows, an accent color you can change, and a keyboard shortcut for everything.
What it does

A chosen focus screen can launch automatically the first time you open the Mac in the morning.

Click the menu-bar icon or press the global shortcut to start any configured session immediately.
