deepwork

Inspired by the book Deep Work from Cal Newport, deepwork is a little command line tool to help you enter a focused work state by closing all communication apps.

Currently only working with Mac OS X, more variety to come soon.

Installation

Simply grab the desired version from the Github Release page and place it in your $PATH, e.g.

curl -L https://github.com/SimonTheLeg/deepwork/releases/download/v0.1.0/deepwork-darwin-64 -o /usr/local/bin/deepwork

Configuration

create a config file under ~/.deepwork/config.json and add the names of all communication applications. An example config can be found in example-config.json. By default Mail and Calendar will be added.

Usage

Close all communication apps to enter a focused working state.

deepwork on

Open up all communication apps again
