It provides good help for people who ussually get distracted on the internet easily, you can have different features to suit your own method of concentrating on your task, a flaw of concentrate would be that i can end concentrate from contentrate to remove any effects
Is there anything like this for Windows?
Fantastic program for those of us who are easily distracted. Allows you to customize everything--from what programs open when you start "concentrating" to which websites are blocked when you do to what desktop image appears--all in service of helping the user get something done. I find it especially helpful for when I'm working on my online classes, as I can restrict what I see, then have my usual stuff (like various notifiers, social sites, etc) pop back up when I'm finished with my work. Easy to use, clean interface. 60 hours of free trial period.
