Review of Concentrate: A Great App to Help You Focus

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Concentrate is an amazing app to aid you in focusing on your Mac. Essentially, you program it to close applications, block websites, open applications, change your desktop background, and much more.

What I Like

Simplicity

Using concentrate is quite simple, create an activity, name it, and tell it what you want it to do. I love that. It has everything you need in a very simple package.

Helpfulness

Concentrate is incredibly helpful and good at what it does. It has helped me concentrate much more as well as get more done.

Groups

I love the groups feature. ”Out-of-the-box” Concentrate comes with a few useful groups including Social Networks. Groups essentially allows you to put websites or applications together and add them to block or open in one fell swoop. Groups is one of my favorite feature in Concentrate.

What I Would Like to See

Quit All

I would like the ability to quit all application except the ones that I need. At the moment, you have to select individual applications or groups to block.

Lock Computer

I would like the ability to lock everything on the computer and just show the concentrate logo with a done button for tasks that don’t require a computer.
