Lazar Focus 1.0.8.beta is available

Lazar Focus v1.0.8.beta is now available, with a new easy way to block the most recently viewed app or website and a bug fix or two.

See below for a more detailed list of changes.

You should be able to download the new installer from the Gumroad product page.

Easy-block

In the screenshot of the settings dialog below, note the new edit boxes and “add” buttons below the hostname and app blocking lists:

Lazar Focus 1.0.8.beta settings dialog with new quick-add function.

These conveniently display the last viewed app and website, along with a button to add that app or website to the relevant block list.

In other words, with the settings dialog open, you can just switch to the app or URL you want to block, and then back to Lazar Focus to click on “add”.

When you click “OK” on the settings dialog, the new blocks will be active!
