Session can help you with your focus problem.
Trusted daily by tens of thousands of engineer in Silicon Valley, independent studios in Madrid, writers in Netherlands, and creative worker + freelancer all over the world.
It helps you be more productive by guiding you to work in sessions, block distractions, track your time, and remind you to rest.
GET INTO HABIT OF WORKING IN TIME BLOCK
Inspired by Pomodoro technique, Session helps you block your time for focus. 25 minutes or 45 minutes is all you need to get closer to your goal
KEEP YOUR FOCUS BY BLOCKING WEBSITES AND APPS THAT DISTRACT YOU (MAC ONLY)
Session block distracting website and apps when you started a Session. It'll automatically restore your website when you are on rest / session has ended.
BLOCK SLACK TEAM
Session will automatically mute Slack team you choose when Session has started and open them up again when Session has stopped working.
DON'T FORGET TO TAKE A REST
Forcing yourself to work on long period of time is ineffective. Rest is as important as work / study. Why? Because rest is a crucial time where you:
- store what you have learned in your head, and where
- your brain solve difficult problem on the background.
Notice that you usually get a new idea and solves problem when you're on walk and shower. Or anywhere where you're away from "work".
AUTOMATE YOUR WORKFLOW (AUTOMATIC DO NOT DISTURB, PLAY MUSIC)
Imagine having no distracting notifications while working on. It's possible by turning on Do Not Disturb. What if you can turn it on when you started your Session, and disable it after Session ends—all automatically? Or maybe change bulb color, play Apple music when Session has started? Different playlist on break? It's possible with Session.
Automate it with AppleScript on MacOS and Apple Shortcut on iOS

I work remotely and I struggle to remember to take breaks during the day. This causes me to lose effectiveness, which then impacts mood. It's also very easy to get distracted by Slack pings and what not and lose track of what was it that I was supposed to focus on.Session addresses both: by asking me to write down my intention in advance, I find it easier to maintain and recover focus in face of interruptions. And by enforcing regular breaks, even when it feels annoying to stop one's train of thought, I find I'm able to put in a more consistent effort through the day.Session's become a key tool in my way of working.
Some gripes.

Please stop bugging me about reviewing it. Also it would be nice to purchase the whole functionality with a single lifetime purchase. Otherwise great
Developer Response
Interesting. Did you get the review prompt inside the app? Because that should only happen once maximum every 6 months.One time purchase unfortunately isn't sustainable. Subscription is the only way I can keep Session alive. I'm not aware of single app (beside Things 3) that can keep afloat for years from one time purchase.
Great for focus
