Focuser

Purpose: Focuser is a free, open-source website and application blocker built in Rust.
Website blocking: It blocks domains, keywords, wildcards, URL paths, or the entire internet, with some pattern rules enforced by its browser extension.
Application blocking: It can block applications by executable name, full path, or window title.
Focus tools: It offers Pomodoro sessions that toggle blocks across work and break phases, plus daily time allowances for sites and apps.
Scheduling and lock: Block lists can follow a weekly schedule and be locked for a chosen duration so they cannot be disabled, deleted, or edited until the timer ends.
Starter lists: It includes 1,207 domains across 13 ready-to-import categories.
Integrations: The browser extension is listed for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, and Opera, with Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons installs identified.
Local data: The project says block lists and statistics are stored locally in a SQLite file and that it has no cloud sync, accounts, analytics, or telemetry.
Extension privacy: The privacy policy says tab URLs are checked locally, never sent to an external server, and not stored or logged by the extension.
Data sharing: The privacy policy says Focuser does not sell, transfer, or share user data with third parties and that the extension uses no third-party services.
Platforms: Release downloads are provided for Windows, macOS Intel and Apple Silicon, and Linux; the README says Windows 10/11 is tested while macOS and Linux builds need real-world testing.
Support: The project asks users to report bugs by opening a GitHub issue with expected and actual behavior, OS and browser version, and reproduction steps.
License: The source code is offered under the MIT License.
Price from: Free
