Solved: Programs don't close but minimize when "All" programs are blocked - vivian - 07-16-2018

Hello,

This is rather a seemingly tiny complaint but in my case, it can really make the plans much more ineffective.

If I create a plan and blacklist a few programs, then FocusMe works just fine and simply closes them. But if I create a plan to block all programs (except the ones I whitelist), then it doesn't close them but just minimizes.

This can be misused/cheated.

I have many Virtuality reality apps that can work fine even if minimized. Because I use Oculus Rift headset and everything still works in that.

Hi, as you noticed the current action for block all apps is 'minimize' for safety reasons. But don't worry because in the next few weeks we'll add a setting where you can customize this. Smile

Hi, since you asked I managed to add this feature a bit quicker. If you install latest update you should see these options:

I did notice it and am very glad for this update. It makes things much simpler for the type of plans that I use.

Thank you very much.  Smile
