Frequently Asked Questions
What is Intent?
Intent is an AI-powered focus tool for Mac. You tell it what you're working on, and it monitors your browsing in real time. If you drift into something unrelated, it nudges you back automatically.
How is Intent different from an app blocker?
App blockers make you decide what to block before you start working. Intent doesn't block apps, it understands context. The same website can be productive or distracting depending on your task, and Intent knows the difference.
Does Intent block apps entirely?
No. Intent works at the tab level inside your browser. A YouTube tutorial related to your project stays open. A gaming video gets closed. It's context-aware, not all-or-nothing.
What happens when Intent detects a distraction?
You get a 15 second countdown warning. If you switch back to something productive, the timer disappears. If you don't, the distracting tab closes.
What if Intent isn't sure whether something is a distraction?
When Intent isn't certain, it asks you a simple yes-or-no question instead of assuming. One tap and you're back to work. No guessing, no false positives.
What macOS version do I need?
Intent requires macOS 13 (Ventura) or later.
How much does Intent cost?
We're offering Intent free for 7 days, after that it's $5.99 / mth. Since we're in beta the price is expected to increase. (Whatever price you pay today is locked)
How do I cancel my subscription?
You can cancel anytime using the "Cancel Subscription" link in the footer of our website. Once cancelled, you'll keep full access to Intent until the end of your current billing period. We don't offer refunds for partial periods.
