Focus4Life — Website Friction

Gently friction distracting websites during a focus session. A companion for Focus4Life — no account, and it fails open.

The desktop app and the extension pair over a local WebSocket handshake, so nothing leaves your machine.

A site you chose to block meets a calm page — never a hard wall.

Website friction is part of Focus4Life Pro — a one-time purchase, not a subscription, with a 7-day trial that asks for no payment card.

Why Focus4Life?

  • Science-backed focus presets Classic 25, Deep Work 50, Sprint 15 and Ultradian 90 — intervals rooted in research, not habit-app folklore.
  • Plan your day, not your guilt Calendar-aware task planning with projects and recurring tasks — and no guilt streaks, ever.
  • Focus Lock Flip your phone face-down to commit to a session and auto-silence notifications with Do Not Disturb. Choose how distracting apps are handled — count opens, add a moment of friction, or block them outright. The timer never stops, and your own Do Not Disturb exceptions are left exactly as you set them.
  • Zen Garden Every focused session grows a living garden — a calm picture of your effort over time.
  • See where your time really goes Minutes focused, sessions completed, tasks done and your longest single session — computed entirely on your device.
  • Live Activities on iOS Your running timer at a glance on the Lock Screen — and in the Dynamic Island on iPhones that have one.
  • Local-first & private No accounts, no cloud, no analytics. Your data stays on your device — and there are no ads, ever.
