How to Use Presets in 1Focus

With 1Focus, you can block websites and apps on your Mac for a set period to help you stay focused while you work or study.

Presets give you more flexibility to customize 1Focus to your needs. Each preset has its own block list and schedule. This means you can have multiple block lists and schedules at the same time. For example, you can create a Study preset and at the same time have a Bedtime preset that blocks the internet at night.
