Distractions are a massive productivity killer. Focus Bear lets you set up block lists and allow lists so that you can stay lasered in on the work you need to get done.
If you open a website or app that you haven’t allowed, the app will notice and ask if you really need to access it.
If that’s too gentle, you can activate “Grizzly Bear” mode where it will immediately block any site you haven’t explicitly allowed.
As well as blocking distractions on your computer, we’ve also got you covered on your phone:
Research indicates that doing activities like meditation and exercise in the morning boosts focus throughout the day. Focus Bear doesn't just track your habits, it guides you through your habits in real-time and blocks distractions (no more mornings where Insta derails your exercise regime).
You’ve got limited time in the morning - don’t waste it by getting overwhelmed by decision fatigue. Set up your morning routine activities and then you won’t have to think about it again.
In the morning, Focus Bear will guide you through each of your habits one at a time.
As well as having a powerful morning routine, you’ll probably want to have a wind down routine in the evening. That’s possible too.
Take breaks every 20 minutes - your brain and body will thank you. Detects when you're in hyper-focus and chooses a good time to suggest a break. It also auto-detects meetings so you don't get asked to do breaks when you're on a call.
Working non-stop for hours on end is a recipe for eye strain, neck pain and headaches. You’ll probably also not be particularly productive. Focus Bear lets you set up break reminders that will soothe your eyes, stretch your body and improve your energy levels.
We recommend taking a break every 20 minutes, looking away from your screen and stretching your body. Doing a short burst of exercise (a microworkout) during the break can help boost your energy levels and improve your fitness.
Doing sets of pushups aren’t everyone’s cup of tea so feel free to customise Focus Bear to do breaks your way. Some gentle stretching or deep breathing may be just what you need.
If you’re into quantified self, you can track metrics during breaks - e.g. after a break activity, “Drink water”, you can track “How many glasses of water did you drink?”
If you’ve ever used other break reminder apps, you might’ve been annoyed by their tendency to interrupt you at the worst possible times: you’re in an important meeting, sharing your screen when a break reminder comes up. “Not now!” We’ve got you covered - Focus Bear detects when you’re in a meeting and won’t show break reminders until you’re done.
It’s hard to get things done when you’ve got notifications pinging and dinging on your phone. Focus Bear’s mobile app makes your phone a beacon of productivity. When you start focusing on your computer, distracting apps are blocked automatically on your phone.
You also get access to the morning routine features on your phone.
