FocusWall v1.0.1 — Visual rebrand

Same app, new look. Core focus-session features are unchanged from v1.0.0.

Changed

  • New app icon — emerald-green shield on a deep-black field. Regenerated at all 10 macOS icon sizes (16 → 1024 px).
  • New About banner — redesigned horizontal hero featuring the shield + wordmark.
  • Accent color refresh — the single saturated accent moved from terracotta to emerald, matching the new icon. Visible on the Start button, focus-phase label, radial progress ring, and "up to date" indicator.
  • Break-phase tint — muted sage replaced with a cool slate so Focus vs Break still reads at a glance now that the primary accent is green.
  • Warning amber and danger red are unchanged.

Verified

  • Release build succeeds on macOS 14+ (Apple Silicon + Intel universal) with Swift 6 strict concurrency.
  • Ad-hoc signed (no notarization). On first launch: right-click → Open to bypass Gatekeeper.
  • VirusTotal scan: 0/65 detections — view report

Install

Download FocusWall-v1.0.1.zip below, unzip, drag FocusWall.app to Applications, then launch.

FocusWall 1.0.0

FocusWall 1.0.0 — first public release.

What's in it

  • Menu bar timer with live mm:ss countdown — single session or Pomodoro cycles (configurable focus / short / long / cycles-before-long)
  • App blocking — pick apps from your installed list; they get force-terminated the moment they launch during a focus session
  • Website blocking — via a privileged helper (one admin prompt on first install, nothing after). DNS-over-HTTPS resolvers are null-routed too so browser "Secure DNS" can't tunnel around the block
  • Session history — today's count + all-time total + minutes focused
  • Fully localized in 8 languages — English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (BR), Chinese (Simplified). Translations are welcome via PR for native-speaker refinements.
  • Native SwiftUI, universal (Apple Silicon + Intel), built on macOS 14+

Download

VirusTotal report — 0 engines flagged malicious.

First launch — Gatekeeper

FocusWall isn't notarized with Apple yet. On first launch you'll see "FocusWall can't be opened". To allow it:

  1. Click Done
  2. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security
  3. Scroll to the "FocusWall was blocked" message, click Open Anyway

You only do this once.

Requirements

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Any Mac (Apple Silicon or Intel)

Known limits

  • Website blocking needs the helper installed (Settings → Websites → Install Helper). Ad-hoc-signed builds install via a single osascript admin prompt.
  • Some raw-IP DoH endpoints (1.1.1.1 used as a literal address) can slip past hosts-based blocking; this covers the hostnames the browsers actually ship with by default.
