No Frills Focus
No Frills Focus
Not a productivity system. A commitment enforcement tool for macOS.
You pick the app you want to work in.
No Frills Focus blocks everything else on your screen.
No Frills Focus enforces a commitment you’ve already made to sit down and work.
It doesn’t organize your day.
It doesn’t teach you how to focus.
It doesn’t care what you’re working on.
It keeps you honest.
We don’t track.
We don’t hold your work.
You use the tools and apps you already trust.
Choose the app or document you want to work in.
Set a timer. Or just work until you’re done.
We don’t hide the door. We just don’t leave it open.
- Normal exit: Cmd + Shift + X
- Emergency quit: Cmd + Shift + Z
Most software tries to motivate.
Ours assumes you already know what you’re supposed to be doing.
All we do is make the choice to quit harder to walk back.
No Frills Focus doesn’t see your files or touch your apps.
If macOS blocks it: System Settings → Privacy & Security → “Open Anyway”.
