# 🔍 ffocus
A CLI tool to temporarly disable distracting websites and boost your productivity 👌
## install
```bash
npm i ffocus -g
```
## usage
ffocus adds temporary rules to `/etc/hosts` to resolve distracting websites to `localhost`.
Because of that you need `sudo` rights to run it but don't worry it doesn't do anything nasty.
```bash
~ $ ffocus
Usage: ffocus [minutes] [host1 host2 host3 ...]
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-a, --add adds a new host
-r, --remove removes an existing host
-t, --duration sets the duration for a preset
-p, --preset a preset
-l, --list lists all the presets
-V, --version output the version number
```
### basic usage
```bash
sudo ffocus 60 facebook.com twitter.com
```
### presets
You can create as many preset as you want.
Each preset is stored in `~/ffocus.json`
and has a name, minutes, and a list of hosts to block.
```json
{
"presets": {
"work": {
"minutes": 60,
"sites": [
"facebook.com",
"twitter.com"
]
}
}
}
```
When you `--add` a new preset ffocus creates an entry if it can't find an existing preset.
```bash
sudo ffocus -p work -a web.whatsapp.com
sudo ffocus -p work -t 30
```
and then run it
```bash
sudo ffocus -p work
```
## troubleshooting
If ffocus doesn't work you:
* are not on macos or unix
* might need to flush your DNS cache
* the browser caches too try to close it, go incognito or something
* it is fucked up and buggy – very likely
