Domain Management¶

Domain management is the centralized interface for managing all website blocking rules across Focus. Whether you are blocking sites in Productivity, Employee, or Parental Mode, domain management provides the tools to add, edit, and organize your block and allow lists.

Accessing Domain Management¶

Open Focus settings with the admin password.
Navigate to Settings > Domain Management.

Block List¶

The block list contains all websites that are prevented from loading on this computer.

Adding Domains¶

Click Add and enter the domain name:

facebook.com -- Blocks the entire domain including all subdomains
*.reddit.com -- Wildcard blocking for all Reddit subdomains
specific-page.example.com/path -- Block a specific URL path

Bulk Import¶

Import a large list of domains at once:

Click Import
Select a text file with one domain per line
Review the imported list
Click Add All

This is useful when migrating from another blocking tool or applying a curated block list.

Allow List¶

The allow list overrides the block list. Any domain on the allow list is always accessible, even if it falls under a blocked category or matches a block list entry.

Use the allow list for:

Educational websites needed for school or work
Company intranet sites
Specific tools and services that must remain accessible

Allow List Priority

The allow list always takes priority over the block list and category filters. If a site is on both lists, it will be allowed.
