Focus, enforced.

A commitment enforcement tool. Not a productivity system.

What it does

You choose an already-open app — Pages, VS Code, Excel, a browser tab.

No Frills Focus puts a physical tunnel on your screen: your chosen app stays visible, and everything else is blocked by solid, opaque masks.

It doesn’t try to improve you.

It helps you enforce a decision you already made.

How it works

EXIT: Cmd + Shift + X QUIT: Cmd + Shift + Z

No launching apps. No file access. No control over your tools. Just a screen tunnel that does what you told it to do.

What it is not

Download

We’ll wire this up to your packaged build next.

Install / First launch

If macOS blocks it:

Right-click No Frills Focus.app → Open → Open again.

Or: System Settings → Privacy & Security → “Open Anyway”.

This is a small utility. It runs locally. No accounts. No network dependency. Just a commitment to yourself.

Install notes

Note: the app may be unsigned. macOS can warn on first launch. That’s normal for indie utilities.

One-sentence model

No Frills Focus enforces where you already chose to work by physically blocking everything else.
