Keep the useful tabs
Tell Attentus what you’re working on. It checks pages against that task, so a lecture you need can stay open while an unrelated video is treated as a distraction.
Pages checked against your goal
AttentusLess doomscrolling.
More of what matters.
Make time for the work, studying or projects you keep putting off. Tell Attentus your task, and it checks whether the page you’re viewing helps you do it—then blocks the distractions.
Keep the tutorial you need. Block the unrelated videos.
You don’t have to give up an entire site to stop getting sidetracked.
Built for the moments you get sidetracked
Put a stop to the endless feed
When AI screening detects a feed, Attentus pauses it. You can open a specific article, post or video for a task check instead of unlocking the whole feed. Selected Shorts are assessed individually, too.
Feed and Shorts controlsExplain why a page matters
Useful pages can look distracting at first. With Ask before blocking, the page pauses while you explain how it helps. Attentus reassesses it with that context. Sites you explicitly blocked stay blocked.
Ask before blockingTime for a quick detour
Need a file from email or a detail from another site? Explain the errand and request time. If approved, access is limited to that task and tab, with one countdown that follows your navigation.
Temporary task accessSet the boundaries yourself
Block the apps and websites that tend to pull you away, or allow only the ones you need. Choose your rules before starting, whether you’re writing, studying or working through a project.
App and website rulesMake the decision once
Turn on Unstoppable Mode when you want to commit. The stop button stays unavailable until the timer ends, and quitting the app doesn’t cancel the session. Normal sessions still let you stop when you need to.
Optional Unstoppable ModeEnd when you planned to
Set a duration or an end time. Choose whether time with your Mac shut down counts, or whether the remaining duration resumes when you turn it back on. Sleep still counts in both modes.
Flexible session timingSave your setup for next time
Keep a setup for studying, writing or your regular work. Reuse its task, timer and app and website rules instead of rebuilding the same session every time you sit down.
Saved sessionsSee the focus time add up
Set a daily focus target and see your recorded session time, weekly totals and streaks. Your history gives you a simple way to notice when you’re making room for focused work.
Focus history and daily goalsBackground sound, without another tab
Play built-in ambient music, rain or noise from your session. Adjust the mix and volume to suit you. The sounds are generated on your Mac, so there’s no playlist or streaming site to open.
Built-in focus soundsPrivate page checks
Attentus assesses pages on your Mac without uploading screenshots, page text or focus goals to a cloud AI service. Activation, downloads, updates and time checks use separate online connections.
On-device AIUse the browser you already know
Work in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge, Arc, Vivaldi, Opera or Chromium. Attentus checks extension readiness before a protected session starts. Each browser you use needs its extension enabled and the required permissions.
