Multitasking is overrated.

Micromanager only lets you use whitelisted apps you need to do work, while blocking everything else.

Why Micromanager?

Stop multitasking and start focusing.

Micromanager locks your attention into applications you selected in your whitelist. Any other application you try to open will be minimized or closed until your block is over.

Your productivity suffers when you try to split your attention over multiple tasks. There's even science to back this up.

Productivity sprints.

Ever wanted to get an old flip phone so that it would stop distracting you? Well, Micromanager does that to your computer. Once you start a block, there's no way to go back.

Breaks can be added in the pro version to keep you motivated if you set a long block. The features page also highlights other things you might like.
