v2.0.3
October 6, 2026
latest
The notifications reminder stays dismissed.
Fixed: the "Notifications are turned off" reminder no longer appears every time FocusDragon opens. Dismiss it once and it stays dismissed; notifications are optional and blocks work without them.
v2.0.2
October 6, 2026
AI Focus starts without the browser extension in every browser.
v2.0.1
October 3, 2026
AI Focus shows in the sidebar immediately on launch.

FocusDragon 2.0 — AI Focus: tell the dragon your goal and stay on track.
1.27.x
v1.27.0
October 3, 2026
AI Focus: tell the dragon your goal and stay on track.

A redesigned FocusDragon: one clean, native look on every screen.

September 27, 2026
Blocks made from the Study template start again.
v1.25.0
September 24, 2026
FocusDragon is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
1.24.x
v1.24.0
September 19, 2026
Updating no longer locks you out of Safari.
1.23.x
v1.23.5
September 19, 2026
Fixes a false “your blocks aren’t protected” alert that could appear just after updating.
v1.23.4
September 19, 2026
Fixes a blank panel that flashed on screen every time you opened a browser.
v1.23.3
September 19, 2026
Fixes Chrome closing on every launch during a block when FocusDragon could not read its settings.
v1.23.2
September 19, 2026
Deleting a minimiser now stops it, and a locked minimiser says why it has no stop button.
v1.23.1
September 19, 2026
Fixes a website block closing Chrome and your terminal when it had no reason to.
v1.23.0
September 16, 2026
Brave and Chrome extension detection, scheduled Sleep blocks now work with FocusDragon closed, and macOS 27 compatibility.
1.22.x
v1.22.5
September 1, 2026
Fixes the stutter — FocusDragon was making your Mac feel slower, and if you use several Chrome profiles it could briefly freeze.
v1.22.4
August 27, 2026
The answers you give during setup are now attached to your account, so your own data stays with you rather than sitting loose against a device.
v1.22.3
August 26, 2026
Housekeeping: the setup questions you answer at the start are recorded again, and the usage-sharing setting explains itself properly.
v1.22.2
August 26, 2026
If you cancel a trial, we now ask why — optionally, and only after the cancellation has already gone through.
v1.22.1
August 24, 2026
Scheduled blocks now start on time even when FocusDragon is closed — previously they only ran if the app happened to be open.
v1.22.0
August 20, 2026
Pro is now $4.99 — down from $29.99. A permanent price drop, not a sale, and every discount has been retired along with the old price.
1.21.x
v1.21.0
August 19, 2026
FocusDragon now runs on macOS 14 Sonoma and later — previously it required macOS 14, which turned away most Macs.
1.20.x
v1.20.3
August 18, 2026
You can now try Pro free for 7 days, and cancel it — or manage your billing — without leaving the app.
v1.20.2
August 15, 2026
Tapping a Pro option while making a block did nothing at all. It now tells you what Pro unlocks.
v1.20.1
August 15, 2026
Typing a page address like google.com/maps blocked the whole of Google without telling you. It now blocks just that page.
v1.20.0
August 11, 2026
Fixes a crash on the Account screen and a stream of false tamper alerts, closes a couple of ways blocks could be weakened by mistake, and makes force-quitting FocusDragon no longer a way out of a locked session.
1.19.x
v1.19.0
August 10, 2026
Downtime now runs on schedule even when FocusDragon is closed, and the "Checking for Updates" screen can no longer trap you.
1.18.x
v1.18.8
August 9, 2026
The three privacy controls in Statistics were wired to nothing — they work now. Device Blocks triggered by a website finally lock the screen, the Upgrade page was quoting the wrong price, and Settings is translated.
v1.18.7
August 7, 2026
Brave and Firefox stop flashing a false permission warning, Eye Breaks gets everything Screen Breaks had, and extension buttons open in the right browser.
v1.18.6
August 6, 2026
New: Screen Breaks — a gentle reminder to rest your eyes, which never interrupts what you're doing.
v1.18.5
August 6, 2026
A closed browser is no longer reported as misconfigured, the plan comparison now tells the truth, and Firefox setup stops filling your Dock.
v1.18.4
August 6, 2026
Friend Approval emails the friend you named, automated test browsers are left alone, and website exceptions can now be narrowed to specific URLs, searches or patterns.
v1.18.3
August 5, 2026
FocusDragon now tells you when Safari can be reloaded past your blocks, instead of reporting everything as fine.
v1.18.2
August 5, 2026
Fixes a dead end after updating, where a locked website block refused to start and the only button offered did nothing.
v1.18.1
August 5, 2026
An exception block for websites no longer cuts your other apps off the internet.
v1.18.0
August 4, 2026
Lock Screen device blocks actually lock your Mac now, and an allow-list block can seal System Settings so you can't quietly take FocusDragon's permissions away mid-block.
1.17.x
v1.17.19
August 4, 2026
You can now block everything except the sites and apps you allow — and a Friend Approval block can no longer strand you if your internet goes down.
v1.17.18
August 4, 2026
Device Blocks set to “Lock Screen” now actually lock your Mac, and exceptions are managed in one place instead of two.
v1.17.17
August 3, 2026
Pro is now $29.99 as a one-time purchase. The student rate stays $9.99, and anyone who already owns Pro keeps it.
v1.17.16
August 3, 2026
Choosing an app under Settings → Exceptions now adds it to the list immediately.
v1.17.15
August 3, 2026
Fixes the menu bar icon, which 1.17.13 and 1.17.14 rendered as a plain dot, and makes "Check for Updates…" stay on screen when it actually finds an update.
v1.17.14
August 3, 2026
Brave stops flickering between "needs attention" and "configured", and apps you allow as exceptions now actually show up.
v1.17.13
August 3, 2026
Brave gets its own setup guide, and browser status is now honest — a browser only reads as configured when it genuinely is.
v1.17.12
July 30, 2026
Safari shows the FocusDragon block page again, and "Reload Without Content Blockers" no longer skips a block.
v1.17.11
July 30, 2026
Chrome now applies website block changes instantly instead of waiting up to 30 seconds.
v1.17.10
July 30, 2026
A further reliability fix for Safari's embedded-content protection.
v1.17.9
July 30, 2026
Safari now applies embedded-content protection immediately when a website block starts.
v1.17.8
July 30, 2026
Firefox protection now reacts immediately when its browser extension is switched off during a website block.
v1.17.7
July 30, 2026
Running blocks can now be strengthened safely, with explicit coverage for embedded Google Doodle games.
v1.17.6
July 29, 2026
Safari website protection now starts reliably after an app update or fresh install.
v1.17.5
July 29, 2026
Safari website protection now tolerates brief extension-status refreshes without interrupting browsing.
v1.17.4
July 29, 2026
Archived AI-monitoring warnings no longer interrupt ordinary FocusDragon use.
v1.17.3
July 29, 2026
Critical permission and safety dialogs now stay readable even if FocusDragon's bundled display fonts are unavailable.
v1.17.2
July 29, 2026
Website blocking is harder to bypass, browser setup is more reliable, and Google Images and Doodles get clearer one-click protection.
v1.17.1
July 27, 2026
Downtime blocks are easier to manage, browser enforcement is stricter, and three more browsers get the delay-unlock page.
v1.17.0
July 25, 2026
Browser-independent Website Protection for reliable blocking across Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and other browsers.

A fix for Friend Approval wrongly reporting that no approver was set.
v1.16.19
July 23, 2026
Creating and editing a block now use one form, a single-screen layout by default, and a batch of fixes.
v1.16.17
July 21, 2026
A rebuilt block-creation flow, and clearer controls for a block that's already running.
v1.16.16
July 21, 2026
A redesigned Statistics dashboard, a new friend-approval lock, and downtime that actually blocks.
v1.16.15
July 20, 2026
FocusDragon now speaks 19 languages — plus a smoother sign-in and a livelier timer.
v1.16.14
July 20, 2026
A big visual refresh — new timer, redesigned Statistics, fresh themes, and Pomodoro upgrades.
v1.16.13

Block-list and Statistics polish.

Clearer permissions, plus Statistics and pricing polish.

A big Statistics glow-up, more stylish blocks, and a clearer Device tab.

July 18, 2026

July 17, 2026

v1.16.0
July 15, 2026
More deliberate unlock friction and a much easier-to-organise block library.
1.15.x
v1.15.3
July 15, 2026
Fixes from beta feedback — reliable reopen, unlockable locked blocks, and smoother browser setup.
v1.15.2

v1.10.8
June 11, 2026
Auto-update verification build.
v1.10.7

June 11, 2026

1.9.x
v1.9.27
June 9, 2026
Updates install cleanly even mid-block.
v1.9.26
June 9, 2026
Focus Modes — Pip adapts to what you're doing — plus tougher protection and a cleaner blocked page.

June 8, 2026
Auto-update has one clean popup instead of a false-positive alert.
v1.9.23
June 7, 2026
"Stop watching my screen" is handled cleanly.
v1.9.22
June 7, 2026

June 6, 2026
Pip can lock blocks, schedule them, and lock the Minimiser.
v1.9.20
June 6, 2026
Pip handles a second monitor.
v1.9.19
June 6, 2026

June 5, 2026
One-click updates, and everything AI in one place.

June 4, 2026
The redesign now reaches every screen — upgrade, setup, pickers, and detail sheets all share the same polished look.

A beautiful redesign of FocusDragon's in-app dialogs — clearer, calmer, and colour-coded by what's going on.
v1.9.6
June 4, 2026
The background-service status now tells the truth — and a one-tap restart when macOS hasn't actually started it.

v1.9.1
June 2, 2026
Restores the original app icon.
v1.9.0

1.8.x
v1.8.11
June 2, 2026
Pip now has cloud chat for subscribers, plus a Local / Cloud / Your-key engine choice.
v1.8.10
June 1, 2026
Blocker page tidy-up: a clear empty state and a more sensible order.
v1.8.9
June 1, 2026
Meet Pip's chat — talk to your focus dragon and it sets up blocks for you.
v1.8.8
June 1, 2026
On-device AI focus blocking is now free.
v1.8.7
June 1, 2026
Calmer control surfaces: a quieter Blocker, clearer AI dials, and typable durations.
v1.8.6
June 1, 2026
Two big redesigns: AI-Powered Blocking as a task-first composer, and the Minimiser as a two-pane session builder.
v1.8.5
May 31, 2026
Meet Pip — the AI-Powered Blocking page, rebuilt around your focus dragon.
v1.8.4
May 31, 2026
Firefox extension setup now points to Firefox Add-ons instead of the Chrome Web Store.
v1.8.3
May 31, 2026
AI-Powered Blocking and Minimiser polish: pick any installed app, clearer start flow, bold page headers.
v1.8.2
May 31, 2026
Long lock countdowns now read in plain units (years, months, weeks, days) instead of a huge hour count.
v1.8.1
May 31, 2026
Fixes: the AI-Powered Blocking and Minimiser tabs now appear in the sidebar.
v1.8.0
May 31, 2026
AI-Powered Blocking (Beta) + the Minimiser: a focus dragon that watches your screen, and an allow-list mode that minimises everything else.
1.7.x
v1.7.3
May 28, 2026
iOS 26.4+ remote app picker (beta): your Mac and Web HQ can now pick exact iPhone apps by name.
v1.7.2
May 28, 2026
Cross-device app blocking now works the right way: name a group on iPhone, control it from Mac and Web HQ.
v1.7.1
May 28, 2026
Web HQ control surface enhancements: cleaner pairing UX, fixed cross-device app icons, cloud-backed insights history.
v1.7.0
May 28, 2026
Redesigned first-launch onboarding, plus a new Web HQ for managing your blocks from any browser.
1.6.x
v1.6.3
May 28, 2026
Pomodoro timer + dragon icon now live in the macOS menu bar by default.
v1.6.2
May 28, 2026
Cinematic intro is now opt-in instead of playing at every launch.
v1.6.1
May 27, 2026
Clearer cross-device block gating: the Mac now waits for your iPhone to publish its app list before you can start a synced block.
v1.6.0
May 27, 2026
14-day free trial for new users. Every Pro feature unlocked for 14 days from first sign-in; $5 once to keep Pro after that.
1.5.x
v1.5.8
May 25, 2026
Patch: Safari now appears in the cross-device Mac app catalog.
v1.5.7
May 25, 2026
Cross-device Mac app catalog: real icons (instead of orange placeholder squares), Safari and other Apple apps now included, and helper-app clutter filtered out.
v1.5.6
May 24, 2026
Fix the actual root cause of the empty cross-device app catalog: the API returns `{ device: ... }` but the iOS and Mac clients were decoding the row at the top level and failing with `id key not found`. selfDevice never got set, AppCatalogPublisher waited forever.
v1.5.5
May 24, 2026
Mac DeviceRegistry now retries the register POST when the auth session arrives instead of giving up after one cold-launch attempt. This was starving the cross-device app-catalog upload, so iPhone never saw Mac apps in the picker.
v1.5.4
May 24, 2026
Diagnostics: surface DeviceRegistry register failures via os.log so the underlying cause of empty cross-device catalogs is visible in Console.app.
v1.5.3
May 24, 2026
Mac now actually publishes its app catalog to the cloud so the iOS companion can see real Mac apps when you create a cross-device block. Plus a fistful of polish: scheme-aware shadows, frosted parchment tab bar in light mode, editable account name, and a Mac-websites picker on iOS for blocking sites from your phone.
v1.5.2
May 24, 2026
Patch: Paired Devices was stuck empty on every platform. Date decoding now handles Supabase's fractional-second ISO8601 timestamps so the sync API responses parse correctly.
v1.5.1
May 23, 2026
Foundation for cross-device sync. FocusDragon Mac now registers with your account on launch so the upcoming iOS app can pair with it. Sign in with the same email on both, then see your devices listed under Settings → Paired Devices.
v1.5.0
May 20, 2026
AI blocks now run a pre-flight check before starting — they refuse to launch if your AI subscription, Screen Recording, or Accessibility permissions are missing, with step-by-step in-app instructions and one-click links to the relevant docs page. Plus a noise-reduction pass on the post-sleep timer warning.
1.4.x
v1.4.46
May 16, 2026
The Locked Block subtoggle is now consistent with the master Stop button — both unlock during an active type-to-break session, so you're never forced to retype the same friction text twice in one sitting.
v1.4.45
May 15, 2026
Onboarding visual upgrade — the years number is finally the hero of the Bad News / Good News pair. 140px italic on its own line, ember-deep for sentencing and ember-bright for redemption. The two beats now read as a true mirror.
v1.4.44
May 15, 2026
Lock toggle is interactive during an active break (meeting the friction unlocks the choice instead of trapping you behind the same challenge twice). Fixed a false 'auto-update failed' warning. Plus reliability tuning for the browser-extension ↔ app break-request handoff.
v1.4.43
May 15, 2026
Reliability pass: 25+ silent-failure modes (dead daemon, expired sign-in, quota exhaustion, dormant browser extension, revoked permissions, Sparkle update stuck, and more) now surface a clear in-app warning with a one-click fix, instead of degrading silently.
v1.4.42
May 14, 2026
The vision classifier is now on by default for AI Focus and AI Focus Max — screenshots replace text-only AI checks. Plus: real paywall enforcement on every AI Focus Max promise, BYOK is now a $15 lifetime add-on, and the server-side rate limiter is live.
v1.4.41
May 14, 2026
AI Focus Max — a new tier for serious focus enforcement. Strict mode, stronger anti-bypass, longer history, and weekly reports. Plus foundational work for the upcoming vision classifier.
v1.4.40
May 9, 2026
Critical safety fix: System Settings can no longer be force-quit during an active block. Also fixes the 'Restart Safari' prompt re-appearing within seconds of completing a restart.
v1.4.39
May 9, 2026
Schedule blocks now actually block. Fixes a bug where schedule-type blocks silently failed to enforce — the engine was reading a stale legacy schedule field instead of your configured rules. Also fixes: block items can no longer be cleared while a block is running.
v1.4.38
May 9, 2026
Hotfix: scheduled blocks honor saved activation schedules, persist schedule rules after relaunch, and ignore stale legacy schedule data.
v1.4.37
May 9, 2026
Hotfix: Developer ID signing repair so affected builds no longer launch as damaged.
v1.4.35
May 9, 2026
Keychain prompt fix. Updating FocusDragon no longer triggers 'FocusDragon wants to use your confidential information' on first launch — keychain access is now scoped by Team ID rather than bundle signature, so future updates stay silent. One last prompt on this update only; after that, it's gone for good.
v1.4.34
May 8, 2026
Onboarding completely redesigned — a 15-beat survey-driven flow that shows you how many years you're losing and offers a paywall before the dragon hatch. Plus: Chrome extension reliability fix, BlockList UI consolidation, and a tamper-proof recovery safety net.
v1.4.33
May 7, 2026
Locked Block toggle is back on the dashboard tile. Schedules can now end on a specific date — set it once and the rule retires itself.
v1.4.32
May 7, 2026
Critical fix for scheduled blocks. After the 1.4.30 schedule consolidation, schedule-type blocks silently never engaged enforcement — even inside their active window. They are now active correctly.
v1.4.31
May 7, 2026
Tamper-proofing: dragging FocusDragon to the Trash mid-block now restores the app within seconds. 24-hour time preference now actually applies everywhere. Indefinite blocks count up from when they started instead of showing stuck 00:00.
v1.4.30
May 7, 2026
Schedule UI consolidated into a single place. Pick the Schedule lock tile and the multi-rule list with + Add another schedule lives there.
v1.4.29
May 7, 2026
Multiple schedules per block. Killed the None/Soft/Medium/Hard/Iron strength labels — every lock type is now a direct tile.
v1.4.28
May 7, 2026
New: Schedule feature. Auto-enable any block on a weekly window (e.g. block Reddit every Monday 4-5pm). Plus: tab clicks in the block editor now register anywhere on the tab.
v1.4.27
May 7, 2026
Branded the AI surface as 'FocusDragon AI'. 'What's distracting me?' is now visible to everyone with an upgrade prompt. Fixed false-positive Chrome 'fix-no-block' page that hit users mid-session even when their setup was fine.
v1.4.26
May 7, 2026
Bulletproof Profile Lock — FocusDragon's extension is now force-installed on every Chromium browser profile, including newly-created ones. Closes the biggest known bypass route.
v1.4.25
May 7, 2026
Themes tab with 6 presets, AI blocking now works on opaque sites like Reddit, classifier upgraded to Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite, 'What's distracting me?' first-click bug fixed.
v1.4.24
May 7, 2026
Safari typing fix + 'Describe a Block' button restored. Typing a single letter in Safari no longer blocks the URL bar; describe a block in one sentence and AI builds it for you.
v1.4.23
May 7, 2026
Silent auto-update + lenient entitlement decoder. Updates download in the background and install on next quit (no more release-notes dialog). Decoder gracefully ignores unknown tier rows so future schema changes don't brick clients.
v1.4.22
May 7, 2026
Single-window upgrade flow: entitlement refresh + 'Welcome to Pro' fanfare now updates the existing app window instead of spawning a duplicate. Pricing page click bugs fixed.
v1.4.21
May 7, 2026
Pricing pivot: AI Plus tier dropped, single AI Focus tier at $4.99/mo or $39/yr (save 35%). Classifier moved from Anthropic to Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite for subscribers. Sentry traces sampled at 10%.
v1.4.20
May 6, 2026
Mega update: 12 browsers fully supported, Hard/Nudge mode cooldown overlay, tab-close-before-kill for web drifts, site-wide copy audit, and 10 false claims fixed.
v1.4.19
May 5, 2026
Launch prep: rewritten privacy policy, new Terms of Service, conversion analytics, admin lead-conversion filters, and two UX fixes (standalone Pomodoro no longer triggers blocking, extension gate skipped for non-website blocks).
v1.4.18
May 5, 2026
Settings → Upgrade gets a proper four-column comparison redesign. Current tier is dashed and dimmed, AI is highlighted as the recommended upgrade with an accent-gradient column, all four tiers visible at a glance.
v1.4.17
May 5, 2026
Suggest mode is retired — every AI block now actually enforces. Plus a critical Hard-mode fix: the rapid-relaunch flicker loop on launchd-respawned system apps (like Messages) is gone.
v1.4.16
May 5, 2026
Polished post-upgrade experience. The moment you return from Stripe Checkout, FocusDragon celebrates with a tier-specific welcome — no more wondering whether your payment actually landed. Settings → Upgrade now leads with a hero card that makes your active tier unmistakable.
v1.4.15
May 5, 2026
Polish pass: email shows in Settings → Account instead of a UUID, two new toggles for the cinematic intro (skip entirely / mute music), and Upgrade gets a dedicated spot on the left rail.
v1.4.14
May 5, 2026
Critical fix: 1.4.13 silently dropped the post-OAuth deep link, leaving users stuck on 'We need to know it's you' after completing Google sign-in. Sign-in flow restored.
v1.4.13
May 5, 2026
FocusDragon Pro arrives — a $5 one-time unlock for the power-user toolkit (Statistics, Locked blocks, Bulletproof Strictness). AI subscribers get Pro automatically; BYOK users can grab Pro standalone.
v1.4.12
May 5, 2026
Polishing the 1.4.11 subscription rollout: sign-in works without a relaunch, the URL-scheme return doesn't open a duplicate window, BYOK users can subscribe without removing their key, and Upgrade gets its own Settings tab.
v1.4.11
May 5, 2026
FocusDragon AI subscription is here. Two new paid tiers (AI at $3.99/mo, AI Plus at $14.99/mo) unlock every AI feature with no key to manage. BYOK with your own Anthropic key stays free forever.
v1.4.10
May 4, 2026
Bulletproof AI focus blocks. Closes every known practical bypass — prompt injection, the 30-second polling dodge, the silent AX-cache trap, mid-block permission revocation, and the Cmd+Shift+N incognito escape hatch.
v1.4.9
May 3, 2026
AI-powered blocks now refuse to start until macOS Accessibility access has been granted, with a deep link to the right System Settings pane.
v1.4.8
May 3, 2026
Critical fix to the 1.4.7 block-start gate, plus a prominent dashboard update banner so new versions get installed promptly.
v1.4.7
May 2, 2026
Bulletproof block-start gate. The pre-flight check now fires from every Start button, refuses to start when no extension is configured, and warns when only some browsers are ready. Adds Safari dual-window repair flow.
v1.4.6
May 1, 2026
Bulletproof Tier 1 doomscroll blocking on every browser, Safari extension privacy guards, and a faster path for AI page-content classification on Chrome.
v1.4.5
May 1, 2026
Sidebar redesign (expandable rail), Extensions page two-pane layout, and a fix for the spurious 'background service stopped' message after Sparkle updates.
v1.4.4
May 1, 2026
Block Editor redesign — wider sheet, scope navigator, severity-first enforcement, and bigger consequence cards for device blocks.
v1.4.3
April 30, 2026
AI drift enforcement is now bulletproof. Nudge is the new default; Hard adds a 5-minute cooldown that resets on every reopening attempt.
v1.4.2
April 30, 2026
Critical: the background service no longer asks for re-approval after every Sparkle update.
v1.4.1
April 29, 2026
Soft sign-in: open the app and configure blocks without an account. Sign in is only required to start a block.
v1.4.0
April 29, 2026
Accounts arrive in FocusDragon. Sign in with Google or email — your blocks, settings, and stats stay on your Mac.
1.3.x
v1.3.9
April 29, 2026
Stop presenting the daemon-permissions wizard after every Sparkle update.
v1.3.8
April 29, 2026
Critical autoupdate fix, plus reliability fixes for Safari notifications and onboarding state.
v1.3.7
April 28, 2026
The cinematic dragon intro now plays on every launch, not just the first run.
v1.3.6
April 28, 2026
Cinematic intro before first-run onboarding, a Stop-all-blocks bulk action, and a data-loss fix in the block editor.
v1.3.5
April 28, 2026
Onboarding got real artwork and a real hatching video.
v1.3.4
April 27, 2026
Onboarding polish and a fix for the false "permission missing" page Chrome kept opening.
