FocusDragon has a free tier that's genuinely useful, a one-time Pro unlock, two AI Focus subscription tiers (AI Focus and AI Focus Max), and a BYOK add-on for technical users who want to pay their AI provider directly.
Free
- Price: $0, forever. No time limit on the free tier.
- Manual blocking of websites and applications.
- Custom blocklists.
- Safari and Chrome browser extensions.
- Pomodoro timer.
- Lock type: No Lock only — blocks can be toggled off anytime.
Pro
- Price: $5, one-time, lifetime. 14-day free trial on first sign-in, no credit card.
- Locked blocks — all 9 lock types (Timer, Date, Random Text, Password, Schedule, Restart, Breakable, Delay, Frozen).
- Bulletproof Strictness — daemon-level enforcement that survives reboots and quit attempts.
- Statistics — focus session history and time-blocked metrics.
- Pay once, keep forever. No subscription.
- Trial is account-keyed and shared across Mac and iOS.
AI Focus
- Price: $4.99/month or $39/year.
- Includes everything in Pro — no double-pay.
- AI vision watching — screenshot + text classification at regular intervals while a block is active.
- Two enforcement modes: Nudge (one 5-second warning, then force-quit if you keep drifting) or Hard (force-quit on sight).
- Natural-language block creation — describe a block in plain English.
- Smart suggestions — context-aware block recommendations.
- Weekly focus reports.
- Extended stats views (90-day and 1-year ranges).
- Up to 100 hours of AI-watched focus per month. The AI assistant automatically slows its polling rate as you approach the monthly allowance, and continues at a reduced cadence past it — it never stops working.
AI Focus Max
- Price: $14.99/month or $149/year.
- Everything in AI Focus, plus a richer monthly allowance.
- Up to 150 hours of AI vision monitoring per month, then degrades gracefully — never stops.
- Strictly richer than AI Focus; used for power users and deep-work scenarios.
BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)
- Price: $15, one-time, lifetime add-on.
- Plug in your own Anthropic Claude API key (sk-ant-api03-…, from console.anthropic.com) under Settings → Developer.
- Classification requests go directly from your Mac to Anthropic — our servers see nothing.
- You pay Anthropic's per-token rate; FocusDragon takes nothing on top after the $15.
Founder pricing
The first 100 paying customers lock in lifetime-grandfather rates ($4.99/$39 for AI Focus, $14.99/$149 for AI Focus Max) for as long as their subscription stays active. Founder rate is anchored to the active subscription — cancelling drops it. After Founder 100 sells out, list price is the price.
Refunds
14 days, no questions asked, on first purchase — email hi@focusdragon.app. Renewals are not refundable but can be cancelled anytime from Settings → Manage subscription; access continues to the end of the billing period. EU consumers retain their statutory 14-day right of withdrawal.
