Description
Focus Firewall blocks distracting websites and apps on your Mac while you work. Set your hours once and it runs by itself, in every major browser, with no extensions. New: the Browsing Report shows where your day went, hour by hour, with a focus score that leaves room for planned breaks. Also new: require Touch ID or password to stop blocking. No account, and nothing leaves your Mac. Free for 7 days.

Could you build this?
Partial The dashboard and reporting UI are simple, but blocking traffic across all browsers on macOS without browser extensions requires low-level system networking extensions.
What it would actually take: The core application must be a native macOS app (Swift/Objective-C) implementing a Network Extension (specifically NEFilterDataProvider or local proxy via PacketTunnelProvider) to inspect and drop TCP/UDP/DNS packets without extensions. Developing and distributing network system extensions requires special macOS Developer entitlements from Apple, low-level socket handling, and privileged helper tools to track active foreground applications and manage DNS resolution.
