FocusDragon is a distraction blocker for macOS. It blocks websites and applications using system-level enforcement — even when the app is closed.
The core distraction blocker — manual blocking, blocklists, browser extensions, the Pomodoro timer — is free forever, with no time limit.
New users also get a 14-day free trial of Pro on first sign-in — every lock condition, every Pro feature. A card is required to start; it's free for 14 days, then $19.99 is charged once unless you cancel. Or stay on the free tier forever.
FocusDragon requires macOS 13 Ventura or later. It's a universal binary — runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
You need to sign in (Google or Apple OAuth) to start a block. Browsing the app, configuring blocks, and exploring settings all work without an account.
Why? Your account attaches your subscription, entitlements, and (future) cross-device sync to a stable identity. We store your email, display name, and an optional age range — nothing else.
Block lists, lock configurations, focus session history, statistics, and task contexts — all local. Never uploaded.

Lock types determine how hard it is to disable a running block. They require FocusDragon Pro ($19.99, one-time).
Random Text is a hardcore lock. When you try to disable the block, you must type a long random string character-by-character (no copy-paste). It adds friction so your impulsive brain can't instantly unlock.
Use it when softer locks aren't cutting it.
Yes. New users get 14 days of full Pro access — every lock condition, every feature. A card is required to start; the trial is free for 14 days, then $19.99 is charged once unless you cancel first. Or stay on the free tier (core blocker, single block) forever.
The trial is account-keyed, so it's shared across devices — the same trial state on iOS and Mac. Just sign in to start.
No subscription — Pro is a one-time payment. See focusdragon.app/pricing for a side-by-side comparison.
Open the app → click Upgrade in the left sidebar → click "Manage subscription". This opens our payment partner's billing portal where you can cancel, change your card, or switch tiers.
Cancelling stops future charges. You keep access until the end of the period you've already paid for. After that you drop back to Free. If you separately own Pro ($19.99 lifetime), that stays.
CVC (Card Verification Code) and CVV (Card Verification Value) are two names for the same thing — the 3-digit security code on the back of your card. The payment form (hosted by our payment partner) uses "CVC" because it's the ISO payment-industry standard term.
This is not a bug in FocusDragon. Our hosted checkout uses "CVC" universally. Every card type is accepted.
All FocusDragon subscriptions can be refunded within 14 days of first purchase, no questions asked. Email us at hi@focusdragon.app and we'll process it within 2 business days.
Renewals and recurring charges after the first 14 days are not refundable — but you can cancel anytime from Settings → Manage subscription and your access continues until the end of the current billing period.
EU consumers retain their statutory 14-day right of withdrawal.
Yes. Go to Settings → Account → Manage subscription, or visit the billing portal from any payment email.
Cancellation is immediate but you keep access until the end of your current billing period — we don't pro-rate refunds for unused time.
