It allows you to quickly and easily block out any website or service you want.

Couldn't get the hang of it. Couldn't figure out how to set it up on a schedule. And it caused my browsers to behave erratically. When I'd try to visit a black-listed site, I'd get literally dozens of Focus tabs with the little quotes on them, instead of just turning the ONE tab I'd tried to use for Reddit into a Focus message. It might work for others, and might work better on a newer OS (I'm on El Capitan), but it was more confounding than helpful for me.

After launching this app, a Rainbow Wheel always appears, and a High CPU Usage was detected. The Awful App!

No native support for Firefox only with plugin. No way to add web-site to black list after settings is blocked.
