Simple

Minus.app is a forever-free, minimal, productivity application. It is dedicated to helping people do their best work by eliminating distractions and providing essential tools to get things done.

Work Privately

Minus.app is a fast-running, privacy-oriented, notarized Mac app. There is no sign-in required to use it. Minus works locally on your computer and does not send your data to the cloud. Minus.app does not monitor or track your movements. We do not see your tasks or desktop environment.

Task Bar

Work on one thing. Minus "Task Bar" is a minimal UI companion that helps you stay focused on your most important work. Task Bar floats on your desktop and displays the top item from your todo list. It helps you recall what you are working on as you switch around your applications.

Focus Mode

Minus.app has special OmniFocus Pro and Things.app powers. Simply drag your task to Minus.app to experience a deeper version of "Focus Mode". Minus will even launch a smart timer based on your task's duration estimate.

Superkey

Tap for focus. The Minus "Superkey" is the most ergonomic, one-handed shortcut on your keyboard. Tap once to remove all distractions, tap again to reveal important work. Need to think for a minute? ..use Superkey.

Never Late

Flow state is difficult to break once you're really in the zone. Minus.app can display "Fullscreen Calendar Notifications" to make sure you get to meetings on time. Zoom you later alligator.

Desktop Zero

Minus.app is serious about eliminating all of the distractions that get in your way. Our comprehensive "Desktop Environments" feature can automatically declutter your workspace and optimize your desktop experience for calm productivity.

Control Non-Essentials

Minus "Distraction Warnings" help you regain attention lost from time-consuming websites, apps, and media players. Unlike 'website blockers' that require extra browser plugins, Minus.app works conveniently at the OS level without fuss. Upgrade your screen time system to the next level.
