2023 was a big leap in productivity thanks to speeding up or skipping more and more context switching thanks to Raycast. 2024 brought Raycast AI and not only brought me a side kick coder of sorts but the fastest reference tool, I’ve 10X my knowledge in the shortest time. 2025 kicks off with this highly polished Focus Session functionality.

Great launch and feature! @adilrc @thomaspaulmann @petr_nikolaev @jordanamblin However, it’s missing a key functionality: once the focus time ends or is manually completed, the extension should automatically reopen the apps it closed. Additionally, it would be fantastic if it could remember which screen or desktop the apps were on and restore them to the same location. This disruption to my workflow makes it tedious to manually reopen and reorganise apps after each focus session.

Raycast Focus is a game-changer for productivity! It helps me stay on track by minimizing distractions and reducing context switching. Love the ability to set goals, choose durations, and block distracting apps and websites. Can't wait for the Windows version to launch—this is exactly what I need to stay focused across all my devices!

Hey Raycast team! Congrats on the new Focus Mode—it’s such a cool addition to a lot of already amazing features ! 🎉 I did notice, though, that it’s not quite blocking websites on the Sidekick browser as well as I'd hoped. Also, having a focus session counter would be amazing for keeping track of my sessions and staying motivated. Keep up the awesome work! 🚀

I would like to kindly request the addition of a forced focus feature similar to the Text Challenge mechanism found in the StayFree app under the AVOID CHEATING section. As someone with ADHD and a very low attention span, I believe this functionality would be incredibly helpful. Your app is, by far, the best focus app I’ve used in terms of aesthetics and design logic, and I truly appreciate your dedication to improving user experience. Thank you for considering my request!
