Fokus

A node tool to help you focus.

Add distractions

A small set of defaults come bundled with fokus. Here is the simplest usage just blocking default links.

sudo fokus

And you can also specify your own links from a file. The file need to export an array of links, like this

module.exports = [
 "www.facebook.com",
 "www.connoratherton.com"
]

And use the -u option followed by the file..

sudo fokus -u /path/to/file

Use a custom file and no defaults

sudo fokus -u /path/to/file --no-defaults

Stop distractions

To restore your /etc/hosts back to its original state run the following command. All traces of fokus will be gone.

sudo fokus --kill

You have to use sudo to modify /etc/hosts. I mainly use this myself, but if you want to use it check out the source beforehand so you understand what it does.

Note: You might have to clear your DNS cache.

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache
