FocusLock for Windows

Study one thing.
Finish what you start.

Set one objective and choose a session: Foundation (25 min), Deep Hour (60), or Deep Block (90). FocusLock keeps you on your learning material and gently brings you back when you drift.

Version 0.4.0 · Free during early access · Windows 10 and 11 · Microsoft Store version coming soon

How it works

Three steps, and FocusLock takes care of the rest.

  1. 1

    Set one objective

    Write what you'll learn, for example "Configure VNet peering", and pick a session length.

  2. 2

    Study in one calm space

    Your learning opens in your study browser on the screen you choose. Other apps and screens wait until you're done.

  3. 3

    See yourself improve

    Reflect in a few words, then watch your steady-focus hours and habit grow week by week.

Built for deep learning sessions

Docs, videos, and hands-on labs in one calm space.

▣

One screen, one browser

Choose the screen you study on; other screens are calmly covered. Pick your study browser: Edge, Chrome, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera, Comet, or Firefox.

⛨

A guard that gets labs

More than 90 learning sources, including Microsoft Learn, AWS, Google Cloud, Coursera, Udemy, and edX. Links you follow from your material stay open, including cloud portals for labs.

❒

A gentle tab limit

Three tabs by default: your material, your lab, and one reference. Save extra links for later instead of drifting.

◷

Calendar-aware

Read-only Outlook or Google Calendar. See conflicts before you start and get meeting reminders with one-click Join.

✎

Later List and Refocus

Park distracting thoughts with Ctrl+Alt+L, and use a 30-second breathing reset when attention wanders.

♪

Focus music

Start a lyric-free playlist on Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, or YouTube Music, and control it from the timer bar.

▤

Weekly insights

Steady-focus hours, goal progress, topics, where your learning took you, and what pulled you away.

★

Habits and rewards

Research-informed benchmark levels and a Habit Journey. Missed days pause your progress; they never reset it.

◐

Easy on the eyes

Use the System, Dark, or Matte paper color profile for long sessions.

Private by design

Your focus data stays with you

No account, no telemetry, no ads. Sessions, reflections, and progress are stored in a local database on your PC. You can export or delete them at any time.
