Launch Minus.app and use it all day with confidence.

Desktop Zero

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

Superkey

Tap for focus. The Minus "Superkey" is the most ergonomic, one-handed, multi-tap shortcuts on your keyboard, ever. Tap once to remove all distractions, tap again to reveal important work. Need to think for a minute? Use Superkey all day.. "Command-Escape".

Bring your own list

Minus "Task Bar" is a simple UI companion that helps you stay focused on work by reading the top item from your favorite todo list. Using a ultra-minimal window, Task Bar displays your current task to help you remember what you are working on as you switch around applications. Elegant monotasking.

"Do" Mode

Minus.app has special OmniFocus Pro and Things.app powers. Simply drag your task to Minus.app and experience a deeper version of "Focus Mode". Minus will serve you one task at a time as you work though your project. It will even launch a smart timer based on your task's duration estimate.

Upgraded Attention
