Built Different

Other apps block. Hugo thinks

Other apps give you a padlock. Hugo gives you a system.
Other Focus Apps
Block everything or nothing - no middle ground
Browser-only, your real distractions stay wide open
Dumb rules with no understanding of what you're working on
No memory, rebuild your setup from scratch every time
One tap and the whole session collapses
Treats you like a problem to be managed
A wall, not a thoughtful colleague
Hugo
Tab-level precision across your entire browser
Actually hides your apps, not just a website block
AI reads every new tab in 0.3 seconds and decides silently
Every project remembers its own apps, tabs, and tools
You justify it first - Hugo decides based on your actual goal
Works from what you said you're doing, not a generic blocklist
Deep Work, Pomodoro, Research, Hugo AI - built for your whole day

Testimonials

Loved by Students at the University of Cambridge

K

Katie

Student, University of Cambridge

The AI blocked a tab I didn't even consciously decide to open. That's the whole problem it's solving, right there.

J

Jay

Entrepreneur

I've tried everything. Hugo is the first one that doesn't require me to also fix myself to make it work.

Alex

Founder & CEO

K

Keira

Freelance Designer

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.
