I've been using FocusMe for about a year now and I joined the forums to figure out even better ways to tailor it to my wants and needs.
Nice to meet you all.
I like the list functionality, except, well... it doesn't seem very intuitive, unless there's something I'm not understanding.
I have a saved list with a bunch of sites and a regex thing for blocking several different phrases found in titles. I've added this list to the blocklist for 6 plans. Often though, I'll think of a new phrase that I want to add to the list, but I figure I should just add it to the existing regex I have in the list. However, there doesn't seem to be any way to do this. I can only remove what's there or append an item to the list.

I guess that's not a huge deal, just annoying. What IS annoying though, is that once I add a couple items to my list and save it, once I'm taken back to the blocklist screen for the plan I'm editing, the blocklist for the plan appears to be empty. What? I click Done to stop editing the plan, thinking maybe it just LOOKS like it's empty, but no--on the list of my plans, that plan now has 0 sites/titles blocklisted. So I have to edit a list, then re-add it to the plan it was already on?
Also, editing a saved list apparently doesn't update every plan using that list. So, since I'm using this saved list on 6 different plans, every time I change the saved list, I need to go to the edit screen for each plan and load that saved list again. Like I said, not intuitive.
Another thing I'm wondering if I'm missing... seems like the only way to edit a saved list is to edit a plan first, is that correct? Also not intuitive.
If I could just have one plan with a scheduled start at all the right times, this wouldn't be such a problem, but unfortunately that's not the case.
So recently I've changed to using the auto break system combined with the schedule mode and I have a request. Basically I don't always get started at the same time, but I like to have a little chunk of time to do what I like before I get locked out to force myself to do adult things. However, I noticed that the timer still retains it's countdown from the previous day, which can result in it going off basically the moment I turn on my computer.
So I'd like to request an option to set the plan to have the countdown reset at the beginning of the day and/or next block of time. I'd personally prefer either day or both, because I've had to set some blocks of time around certain events in the same day and that might cause some wierdness.
So the idea behind postpone seems to me that days vary and sometimes it's pretty inconvenient to get blocked in the middle of something, but it still needs to happen at some point.
The way it works now, any postponed time is subtracted from the block time, shortening the block. So if you postpone a 60 minute block period by 10 minutes, you are only blocked for 50 minutes.
So firstly, I'd like to ask for the option to have any postponed time added to the end of the block period, so it postpones the entire block time. For example, if you postpone a 60 minute block for any amount of time, then after the delay you still get blocked for the full 60 minutes. In addition, if it runs into a second block time, it's just added on to end of the block period.
This would let me account for daily variations without making me feel like the postpone option is just a way to shorten the block period, something I find myself abusing. With this way there would be no benefit to postponing if I'm not actually in the middle of something.
Secondly, I'd also like to have the option to set the postpone time from a pool of minutes, rather than a number of activations. For example, I could set it so I have a pool of 60 minutes, and if I delay my first block period by 15 minutes, then I can only delay the others by a maximum of 45 minutes. And with this, I'd also like the option to cancel a delay if I finish something early, and regain any "unspent" postpone time.
For the record, the first bit is FAR more important to me than the second, which would just be nice.
Apologies if either has been suggested before, but I rarely come to the forums unless I have something to suggest.
I have a plan which blocks by minimizing some game launchers (Steam, Epic Games, among others). It works correctly for the other launchers, but with the Epic Games Launcher, it only works at the beginning. After some seconds (I guess when it finishes loading), it doesn't get minimized anymore.
Does anyone get the same problem with Epic or another similar program?
Hi. I'm a subscribed user for focused on PC and also use it on Android.
Can you please add the "auto enable plan daily" function in focusme for Android?
It's a very important function as otherwise sometimes I disable some plans if needed some day and then forgot to enable them again, so to choose the option to auto enable daily for some plans would be really useful on Android too.
I would like to limit launches of certain programs to once a week, or possibly even longer. Currently it's only limited to 23 hours and 59 minutes. Could you add days to that limit (and now that I think about it, any time based limit for that matter)
Hello Everyone,
