Hello,
I’m purchased FocusMe, but cannot block Steam completely. There is a delay in opening Steam, but it still launches successfully. Additionally, I set up a plan to block Dota 2, a Steam game, but it continues to run. FocusMe minimizes my screen to the desktop, but the game remains active.
How can I block Steam completely?
Hello Peterae! FocusMe already has a pre-set plan for Steam games you can use right away. ?
If a specific game isn’t being blocked, you can also manually add the application and process name to make sure it gets caught.
To find the correct info, check out the FocusMe Helper tool — super handy for this!

Hope that helps!

FocusMe is not fully effective at blocking Steam or games Pokepath TD launched through Steam, such as Dota 2. While it can delay Steam’s startup and minimize the screen, the applications themselves continue running in the background, meaning FocusMe cannot completely prevent access or usage of these programs. Users looking for strict blocking of Steam or Steam games may need to consider alternative solutions, as FocusMe’s blocking capabilities appear limited for applications that launch external processes.
It looks like FocusMe already has a pre-set plan for Steam games, but if it’s not blocking correctly, you might need to manually add the application or process name to ensure it’s caught. You can refer to the FocusMe Helper tool for more details!
