You know product hunt will have made it big when we make it into Focus ;)
it's already there!
how does this application compare to the more feature rich Rescuetime ? which not only allows blocking websites for a certain amount of time, but also provides insight in your productivity and behaviour.
That's the thing about rescuetime. It's a bit TOO feature rich.

Focus is a Mac app that sits in your tool bar and helps you stay on task. Couple of killer features are the ability to schedule blocks of work time and to create custom prompts that you see when you attempt to surf the web.

Pros:

Great tool for keeping your eye on the prize.

Cons:

Managing blocked sites could be a little better, specifically allow you to unblock certain sites by subdirectory or regex.

If you're curious about how Focus was built, I did a small case study:
This is a great app. was super responsive fixing a bug I found.
Is this working properly for everyone else who has tried it? I have it on and I can access Twitter, FB, Gmail, etc using both Chrome (my usual browser) and Safari.
I have had a few other people mention this and am working on a fix. If you'd like to test it out please email me
Will do, thanks!
