No more fusilli excuses! # FocusPasta's Features CUSTOMIZABLE APP BLOCKING FocusPasta supports both timer and stopwatch modes.

It's a free world! - Deep Focus: Distracting apps blocked while your timer runs - Locked In: Distracting apps blocked, and no quitting early You can also set your own boundaries: allow only the apps you still need, block only the ones you need a restraining order from, or just block everything.
