Tell it what you're working on. It handles everything that isn't.

Download for Mac

No blocklist

Hugo checks every tab against the goal you set. No lists to build, nothing to maintain.

Your whole Mac

Browser tabs and desktop apps. Works with Chrome and Safari.

Private by design

Hugo reads a tab's URL and title. It never sees your screen.

AI-Powered Focus

The focus app that thinks for you.

Hugo sits between you and distraction. It hides your apps, locks down your browser, and uses AI to silently decide if what you're opening is actually work - so you never have to burn willpower again.
