The Helm Desktop App
The app that locks out distractions so you actually get the work done.
Block Mode
Pick what to block, keep everything else open. Perfect for cutting the noise without going dark.
Mission Mode
Pick what to keep, lock everything else out. One app, one goal, zero distractions.
Schedules
Set it and forget it. Your focus blocks run automatically in the background. No buttons, no decisions.
Smart Breaks
Focus works in rounds. Helm lifts the blocks when it's time to rest, then puts them right back.
Real Enforcement
Try to open a blocked site? Redirected. A blocked app? Full-screen takeover. No workarounds. No side doors.
Focus Heatmap
A quiet record of every session. No streaks, no sharing. Just proof that you showed up and did the work.
Runs Offline
No internet, no cloud, no excuses. Helm runs a background process on your Mac — always on, always enforcing.
Background Sounds
Brown noise, rain, whatever gets you in flow. Starts when your session starts. Stops when it ends.
Works While Closed
Close the app and your blocks stay active. Helm runs quietly in the background — out of sight, fully in control.
