ITmode is a deep-work app built for people in IT. It blocks distracting apps and websites on all your devices, helps you get into flow with sounds and melodies, and connects you with IT people nearby. Start a focus session and everything else stays closed until it ends.

ITmode is built for people who make digital products. That means developers (frontend, backend, mobile), designers, QA engineers, analysts, product and project managers, DevOps engineers, data specialists, founders and indie hackers. It also suits students in IT fields: programming, information systems and interface design. If you’re far from IT, distraction blocking, focus sounds and stats are still useful — just note that the in-app community and chats are mostly about IT.

Apps on iPhone, Android, macOS and Windows, plus websites in your browser. You set up a blocking group once and it syncs across your devices. Start a session on any of them and blocking turns on everywhere.

ITmode doesn’t read your screen content or what you type. On iPhone it uses Apple’s built-in Screen Time framework and can’t see which apps you open. On Android it uses Accessibility: the app compares the open app with your block list locally, and that data never leaves the device.

Stop the session and blocking is lifted. ITmode doesn’t lock you in: it removes temptation by default, so getting distracted takes a conscious decision rather than a single tap.

A Pomodoro timer only counts time — distractions stay one tap away. ITmode brings together what usually lives in several apps: blocking on every device, a timer, focus sounds, stats, leagues and a community of IT people nearby.

Yes. The free version isn’t a demo or a trial — every core feature is included. Blocking on every platform, the timer, melodies and sounds, your own mix, stats, leagues and the community all work for free, just with sensible limits. ITmode Pro lifts those limits for people who need more: more blocking groups and desktop apps, every melody and sound, saved presets, full stats history and more tags.

Tap “In Focus Now” on the home screen to see who’s working right now, starting with people near you. In the Hub, pick your location — ITmode has 150,000+. A location’s chat opens once an active community forms there; conversations happen in Discord, and the app shows what people are talking about.

Focus melodies, binaural beats and ambient sounds: lo-fi, rain, a coffee shop, a fireplace, white noise and more. You can mix them into your own blend. Regular sounds work without headphones. Binaural beats need stereo headphones, because the left and right channels play slightly different frequencies. It’s a sound environment for work, not a medical feature.

The name is one word: ITmode, pronounced “I-T mode”. In the App Store, Google Play and the Chrome Web Store you can search for “ITmode” or “IT mode”. In the App Store the app is called “ITmode: Focus & People”, and the browser extension is “ITmode - Block sites & Focus”. The easiest way is the download buttons on this site, itmode.app: they open the right store page directly.
