What it does
FocusStack is for people who make things. Start a focus session, name it after your task, pick the project. FocusStack tracks every app and site automatically, blocks what derails you, and nudges you back when you drift. One click launches your whole work setup at once. At the end of the day, you see exactly where your focus went and what each project actually cost you. No cloud. No subscription. It runs on your machine. Pay once, keep it for life.
Everything you need to stay focused — time tracking, one-click workspaces, scheduled workspace launches, project time estimates, productivity insights.

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate).
