A LITTLE INTENTION

Useful tabs stay.
Distractions can wait.

Attentus checks each page against the task in front of you.

01

Tell it what matters.

Write down your task and the resources you need. Give your session a clear purpose.

02

Make a little time.

Set a duration or an end time. Choose the apps and websites that belong.

03

Stay with your task.

Keep relevant pages open while Attentus blocks distractions. Same site, different decisions.

YOUR FOCUS TOOLKIT

Less to manage.
More room to work.

Keep the useful tabs

Tell Attentus what you’re working on. It checks pages against that task, so a lecture you need can stay open while an unrelated video is treated as a distraction.

Put a stop to the endless feed

When AI screening detects a feed, Attentus pauses it. You can open a specific article, post or video for a task check instead of unlocking the whole feed. Selected Shorts are assessed individually, too.

Explain why a page matters

Give a useful page a second look. Add context and let Attentus reassess it.

More details

Useful pages can look distracting at first. With Ask before blocking, the page pauses while you explain how it helps. Attentus reassesses it with that context. Sites you explicitly blocked stay blocked.

Set the boundaries yourself

Choose the apps and websites that belong in your session. Leave the rest outside.

More details

Block the apps and websites that tend to pull you away, or allow only the ones you need. Choose your rules before starting, whether you’re writing, studying or working through a project.

Make the decision once

An optional extra commitment: keep your session running until the timer ends.

More details

Turn on Unstoppable Mode when you want to commit. The stop button stays unavailable until the timer ends, and quitting the app doesn’t cancel the session. Normal sessions still let you stop when you need to.

Time for a quick detour

A quick errand, with a way back. Request timed access for a specific task.

More details

Need a file from email or a detail from another site? Explain the errand and request time. If approved, access is limited to that task and tab, with one countdown that follows your navigation.

End when you planned to

Work for a set duration or until a chosen time. Decide how shutdown time counts.

More details

Set a duration or an end time. Choose whether time with your Mac shut down counts, or whether the remaining duration resumes when you turn it back on. Sleep still counts in both modes.

Save your setup for next time

Your task, timer and rules, ready to use again. Less setup next time.

More details

Keep a setup for studying, writing or your regular work. Reuse its task, timer and app and website rules instead of rebuilding the same session every time you sit down.

See the focus time add up

Daily goals, weekly totals and streaks. See the time you’ve made for focused work.

More details

Set a daily focus target and see your recorded session time, weekly totals and streaks. Your history gives you a simple way to notice when you’re making room for focused work.

Background sound, without another tab

Ambient music, rain and noise, mixed on your Mac. No extra tabs required.

More details

Play built-in ambient music, rain or noise from your session. Adjust the mix and volume to suit you. The sounds are generated on your Mac, so there’s no playlist or streaming site to open.

Private page checks

Page checks happen on your Mac. Your screen and goals stay out of cloud AI.

More details

Attentus assesses pages on your Mac without uploading screenshots, page text or focus goals to a cloud AI service. Trial activation, account access, downloads and updates use separate online connections.

Use the browser you already know

From Safari to Chrome and Firefox. Bring focus to nine supported browsers.

More details

Work in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge, Arc, Vivaldi, Opera or Chromium. Attentus checks extension readiness before a protected session starts. Each browser you use needs its extension enabled and the required permissions.

A few good questions.

Does Attentus send my screen to the cloud?

No. AI page checks run on your Mac. Your screenshots, page text, and focus goals aren’t uploaded to a cloud AI service. Trial activation, account access, downloads and updates use separate online connections. Read the full privacy policy.

Which browsers can I use?

Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge, Arc, Vivaldi, Opera, and Chromium. Enable the Attentus extension and required permissions in each browser you use. Attentus checks extension readiness before a protected session starts.

What if I need to stop a session?

You can stop a normal session whenever you need to. If you choose Unstoppable Mode before starting, the session stays active until the timer ends, even if you quit the app.

What if a blocked page is actually useful?

With Ask before blocking enabled, you can explain how a page helps with your task. Attentus reassesses it with that context. Websites you explicitly added to your block list stay blocked.

How do I start the free trial?

Download Attentus, open the app and click Start free trial. You get seven days on your Mac without an account, payment card or browser sign-in. An internet connection is needed to start the trial. You’ll need an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 26 or later.

Go do that thing.

The one you opened your laptop for.
