- Having a holiday budget (that coincides with my work holidays) that I can use to take days off when I have days off
- Having a master unlock password that I can give to my girlfriend (or a parent) that will unlock all codes instantly (If I want to keep a FocusMe "guardian")
- Is there any way to add scaling difficulty for the random passwords (for instance, first pause is 50 chars, second pause is 100, third is 150, etc.)
- Does the Android app finally added a button for "Re-enable this plan each day"?
Thank you.
I know I requested most of them in the past, and it would disappoint me to see most of them not being supported
Use regex to scan apps and websites for keywords to block. If you do, I also request that this feature be whitelistable. For example, you might spend too much time watching cat videos, so you might want 'cat,' 'kitty,' etc., blocked in YouTube and other places, but you actually own a cat and still want to be able to text your friend about how to take care of your cat while you're on vacation or reading articles on large cats on a science website.
Hi, i'm a professional poker player and i'm using your application to force myself to take some breaks during the day to avoid tilting. Your app is doing a perfect job at it but i'd like to know if a feature could be added : a way to limit the number of table i'm playing. So in your app that would mean that you limit the number of windows (or processes of the application ? I don't know) i can open by limiting it. Every online table i seat on open a new window of the poker application so i'm sure there is a way to limit it. I know a lot of poker player friends who would be interested in such a feature because it doesn't exist anywhere else and would be a really big money saver, and i'm sure it can be applied to others uses. Thanks for reading me, Olivier.
So I'm trying to come up with my plan, this is what I'm thinking:
I only want to have access to social apps/sites in the afternoon (between 13:00 and 17:00) during weekdays and maybe a little longer on Saturdays, so for that I'll create a Block plan.
I also want to limit my time to 10 minutes a day on each of those apps/sites, so I'll schedule a limit on each app individually (10 min for FaceBook, 10 min for Instagram, YouTube, etc).
Streaming apps like Prime Video or Hulu will be blocked except on weekends with a 2.5 hour limit.
If I have to watch a YouTube video for school I can use the library.
News sites will also have a limit, but I haven't decided how yet.
I ran out of trial time and recently signed up for a yearly subscription. One thing I'd like to see improved the the alert style. It would be really nice if FocusMe used the built in Notifications of MacOS. Part of the reason is that FocusMe shows alerts in the lower right, but the alerts for MacOS are all in the upper right of the screen. My eyes are always trained to go up there.
Also, I'm on the email list for an alert for when you might release an iOS version, but I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that I'd really like one. FocusMe has been really helpful about keeping me on task on my laptop and I want that same functionality on my iPhone. Apple's own iOS Screen Time just doesn't cut it. I need to set up hours or timers of exclusion like FocusMe, not cumulative time limits like Screen Time does (for which I addictively keep tapping "15 more minutes" when my time is up).
