Focus comes to Windows. Stay in the zone, use `Start Focus Session` to kick off a timed block that shuts out the apps and websites that pull you away, and keep working until the timer runs out. Set up your distractions once with `Create Focus Category`, then manage things on the fly with `Pause`, `Resume`, and `Complete Focus Session` or jump straight back in whenever you need to lock in.


Learn how to get the most out of the feature with our [manual](https://manual.raycast.com/focus).


## ✨ New

- **Focus:** Begin a block that shuts out distracting apps and websites with `Start Focus Session`.
- **Focus:** `Edit Focus Session` adjusts the duration or blocked categories while a session is running.
- **Focus:** Use `Pause Focus Session` , `Resume Focus Session` and `Complete Focus Session` to control current session.
- **Focus:** `Toggle Focus Session` starts or stops focusing with a single command, useful for a hotkey.
- **Focus:** Group the apps and sites that derail you into a reusable set using `Create Focus Category`, then review or change them with Search Focus Categories.
- **Dictation**: Transcription Styles let your dictated text automatically adapt its tone and formatting to the app you're writing in (email, messaging, and more).
- **Dictation**: Dictation now uses the context of the app you're dictating into to transcribe names, terminology, and on-screen words more accurately.
- **Dictation**: Finish and Cancel Shortcuts, use Ctrl+Esc/Ctrl+Enter or Esc/Enter to quickly submit or cancel dictation session.
- **Window Management**: Toggle Always on Top. Pin the focused window so it stays above all others. Run it again to unpin.
