Question 1

What is the best website blocker for Mac?

Accepted Answer

Focuh blocks distracting websites at the macOS system level during focus sessions. Unlike browser extensions, it works across all browsers simultaneously — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Arc — so there's no workaround. It's free and combines blocking with a focus timer and task board.

Question 2

Does Focuh work for ADHD?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Focuh was designed with ADHD brains in mind. The combination of system-level website blocking (removes the choice to get distracted), a visual focus timer (provides external time structure), and a task board (makes next actions visible) addresses the three biggest ADHD focus challenges: impulsivity, time blindness, and task paralysis.

Question 3

Can I bypass the website blocking?

Accepted Answer

Focuh blocks sites at the operating system level, which is significantly harder to bypass than browser extensions. During an active focus session, blocked sites are inaccessible across all browsers on your Mac. The blocking lifts automatically when your session ends.

Question 4

Is Focuh free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Focuh is completely free. There are no premium tiers, no trial periods, and no feature gates. You get system-level website blocking, the focus timer, the kanban task board, and Google Calendar sync at no cost.

Question 5

What makes Focuh different from Freedom or Cold Turkey?

Accepted Answer

Freedom and Cold Turkey are standalone website blockers. Focuh combines blocking with a focus timer and a kanban task board in one app — so you plan your tasks, start a timed focus session, and distractions are blocked automatically. It's also free, while Freedom and Cold Turkey require paid subscriptions.

For the creatively chaotic.
