FocalFilter is a free productivity tool that helps you focus by temporarily blocking distracting websites. After the block timer runs out, your websites are available for you to view again.

1. Run FocalFilter.
2. You choose which websites to block.
3. Set how long they should blocked for.
4. Get more work done.

With millions of websites currently on the internet, it is very easy to get distracted from the work at hand. It starts with you opening a random link on YouTube or Facebook, and ends with an hour or two wasted before you even realize that you haven’t finished your work.


You can also block access to websites manually but the software called FocalFilter saves you from the trouble of changing settings manually and blocks the websites automatically for a particular time span.You just have to set the website name and time span for which you want to block the access. This software is for the windows operating system and after the completion of specified time access to blocked websites is revoked.

FocalFilter doesn’t allow you to unlock websites before the timer is up, which can be a big issue if you need to visit a blocked website for finishing an important task. What you can do is navigate to the hosts file titled “hosts” in the following directory C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc, open it in native Windows Notepad, and delete the mapped URLs. Save the file and exit to unblock the websites.

FocalFilter lacks the option to add custom time and date for blocking the website list, and hope that the developer will include it in the next release. It works on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 provided that Microsoft .NET Framekwork 4 is installed on your system.
