Focus App with Daily Stats for Mac

Most blockers just block. Without a record of your focus time, it's hard to know if the habit is actually improving — here's a setup that tracks it for you.

You start using a focus tool, run a few sessions, and then a week later you're asked how it's going. You honestly don't know. Maybe you've been consistent, maybe you've skipped half the days, maybe your sessions have gotten shorter without you noticing. Without a record, "I've been more focused lately" is a feeling, not a fact.

Most website and app blockers are built to do exactly one thing — block — and stop there. That's fine for the moment you're in a session, but it leaves you with no way to see the pattern over days or weeks, which is where habits actually form or fall apart.

Why Tracking Changes the Behavior

Seeing a visible record of your focus time does something that blocking alone doesn't: it turns an invisible habit into a measurable one. A streak of consistent sessions is motivating in a way that "I think I've been focusing more" isn't. A gap in the chart is a nudge to get back on track before it becomes a two-week slide. The tracking isn't just record-keeping — it's feedback that shapes the next session.

A Blocker That Also Shows You the Pattern

Lock In! pairs website and app blocking with daily stats, so every session you run adds to a visible record instead of disappearing the moment it ends.

A 7-Day Chart, Not Just a Number

A rolling seven-day bar chart shows focus time at a glance, so you can spot trends — a strong week, a slow Monday, a slide that's starting before it becomes a full relapse into old habits.

Daily Totals in the Menu Bar

Check today's focused time without opening a separate dashboard or app. It's there when you glance at the menu bar, which keeps the feedback loop tight instead of buried in a settings screen you forget to visit.

Stats Cover Both Websites and Apps

Because website and app blocking run in the same session, the stats reflect your actual focus time, not just one slice of it. There's no need to reconcile numbers from two separate tools.
