What's the best app to help me focus / remove distractions while working?
I need something to help me get into a 'flow' state. Mac app would be ideal. Features like website blocking, etc.

- dimitar inchevTeam Coworkies & StartupBerlin.co · WrittenDefinitely Noisli is the app that save me from all the distractions by a easy ambient sound mix & match. As weird as it might sound I use rain, fire & airplane propellers. Great sound combo! They have web, chrome add-on, iOS and Android version.
- Craig DavisonStudent · WrittenFocus works well. It blocks distracting webpages at certain times and replaces them with meaningful quotes.
- Maxim AnanovDistraction Dimmer • HazeOver.com · WrittenMaxim Ananov made this productThat's exactly why I made this, but it does not block websites. On the plus side it means you need no additional setup. Launch it and work.
- I don't know if I'd ever use this but it's pretty funny and can be helpful :)

- Martin BoeddekerFounder, FindFocus.net · WrittenMartin Boeddeker made this productFindFocus is the only app that supports multiple profiles running at the same time & and different unlocking modes. (e.g. you can unlock your email while Facebook & PH stay blocked) I am the creator of FindFocus and build the app for exactly the purpose of getting into flow and creating deep work habits. I tried all other apps but was always unsatisfied with their limitations & therefore decided to create my own app.
- gerasim_sergey made this productMuch more features (hides desktop icons, Dock and Menu bar)
- Peter Hartree made this productI made a Chrome extension called Inbox When Ready to help people protect their focus and cultivate a better email workflow. The extension hides your inbox by default so you can compose messages without getting distracted. It also has some features to help you break the habit of compulsively checking your inbox.
