Focused Work is an app that's designed to help you with two problems related to working on your Mac. The first is when you can find yourself distracted by things like social media and become less productive. The second and somewhat opposite problem is when you work too hard for too long, causing a sense of burnout. Michael Tigas developed the app to help with his own working methods and a desire to be more productive. Running on your Mac but also syncing to iOS versions of the app via iCloud, it is not as you might perhaps expect an app that "blacks out" your screen and shows you just the app you are working with. Rather, it's a sort of advanced scheduler that notifies you and runs actions at predetermined times.
