Add their computer
Add the computer in your parent dashboard and copy its code. Install Send Focus on that computer and paste the code. Each computer gets its own code.
A calmer way to keep learning on track
More focus.
Less hovering.
Give your child room to learn, while staying in the loop. Send Focus helps you spot distractions, set limits on the days and hours you choose, and send a gentle reminder when it’s time to get back to class.
For parent-owned Windows 10 and 11 computers

A sample of how Send Focus works. No real computer is connected.
Runs on your school schedule
Check-ins, not video recording
Full dashboard on your phone
Check-ins deleted after 7 days
Simple from the start
A little setup.
A smoother school day.
Keep the focus on learning, not on managing another complicated tool. Here's all it takes.
Choose your boundaries
Pick the days, school hours and breaks, or make a few named schedules for different computers. Choose which apps and browser tabs to block or ignore.
Stay in the loop
Review check-ins from your dashboard, or in Discord if you like. If they need a nudge, send FOCUS with a single click.
When focus slips
A small nudge can go a long way.
Kids get distracted. It happens. Send Focus gives you a simple way to help them find their way back, without turning every moment into a conversation.
FOCUS puts a full-screen message on their computer, with your short note and an optional soft sound, until they click “I'm back.”

Support, not a standoff. ↗
Thoughtful by design
Just the tools you need.
Nothing you don't.
Real control for parents, with room for kids to do their own thing.
Know what's happening, at a glance.
A check-in is one picture of the screen plus the name of the open window or tab. They come every 1 to 10 minutes during your schedule (you choose), when a new app or tab opens, and whenever you ask. No video.
A schedule that fits real life.
Set days, school hours and breaks, each in its own time zone. Use one schedule for everyone, or named ones like “Weekdays” and “Weekend”. Monitor all day when you need to.
Less temptation. More time to learn.
Send Focus closes apps, windows and browser tabs whose title matches your list. Ignore the ones you trust. It isn’t a network filter.
Your rulesTab-aware
Your dashboard, wherever you are.
Manage settings, view check-ins, request check-ins, and send FOCUS from any mobile browser.
Optional alerts in Discord.
Get check-ins in your own private Discord channel, one per computer if you like, with Check-in and FOCUS buttons right there.

What you get
The details, in plain words.
Schedules for each computer
Make named schedules, each with its own days, hours, breaks and time zone, and put each computer on one. “Monitor all day” runs on the days you pick, with check-ins only or with your rules too.
App & website rules
Block or Ignore by name, or pick from the windows recently seen on that computer. Parts of Windows itself can’t be blocked, so the computer always stays usable.
Discord, if you want it
Alerts go to your own private channel, or a channel per computer. Press Check-in or FOCUS from the post. Posts are removed after 7 days.
Protection, honestly
Quitting or uninstalling needs your parent PIN. If it’s closed another way, it comes back the next time Windows signs in. If it’s closed with your PIN, uninstalled, or goes quiet during your schedule, you’ll see it in your dashboard’s activity (and in Discord, if you use it). Offline? Check-ins are kept and sent later, marked “sent late”. A Windows administrator can still remove it.
Your dashboard at a glance
See flagged moments and FOCUS reminders for today, an estimated Focus Score, and every check-in in Activity.
Safe sign-in, automatic updates
Turn on 2-step sign-in with an authenticator app or an email code. The Windows app updates itself.
Boundaries matter
More peace of mind.
With clear limits.
Send Focus is made to help families build better school routines. Be open with your child about when monitoring happens and what is saved.
We believe the best kind of oversight is the kind kids know about. The Send Focus icon shows in the Windows system tray (by the clock) while it’s running.
Deleted after 7 days
Check-ins are deleted from Send Focus and from your Discord channel after 7 days. You can delete any of them sooner.
You set the schedule
Automatic check-ins and blocking follow your chosen days and hours, or run all day on the days you pick.
Protected by your PIN
Quitting or uninstalling needs your parent PIN. If it’s closed another way, it comes back the next time Windows signs in. If it’s closed with your PIN, uninstalled, or goes quiet during your schedule, you’ll see it in your dashboard’s activity (and in Discord, if you use it).
Private parent access
Only your family’s account sees your check-ins. Two parents share the same login.
Two things to know: Discord’s own systems may keep copies for a while after we delete them. And a Windows administrator account can still remove any app, so give your child a standard account.
Get the app
About five minutes to set up.
- Needs: a Windows 10 or 11 computer (64-bit) and a parent account.
- Download: about 49 MB.
- Windows only for now. Not for Mac, Chromebook, iPad or phones. Your parent dashboard works on any of them.
- Add the computer in your parent dashboard (a name and your parent PIN) and copy its code.
- Download and install Send Focus on that computer. If Windows says “Windows protected your PC”, click More info, then Run anyway.
- Paste the code into Send Focus. That computer is now connected.
- Replacing a computer? Press Disconnect in the dashboard to get a new code.
The details
Good questions.
Clear answers.
You should know exactly what a tool like Send Focus does, and what it doesn't do.
Built to be transparent
What do I need to get started?
A Windows 10 or 11 computer your child uses, a parent account on this website, and about five minutes.
How do I connect my child’s computer?
Add the computer in your dashboard and copy its code. Install Send Focus on that computer and paste the code. Each code connects one computer.
What exactly is a check-in?
One picture of the screen, plus the name of the window or browser tab that was open. Automatic check-ins come every 1 to 10 minutes during your schedule (you choose the interval), when a new app or tab opens, and whenever you ask for one.
Does Send Focus record my child’s screen all day?
No. It takes single pictures (check-ins), not video, and only while your schedule is on, unless you ask for one.
Can I choose when it runs?
Yes. Pick the days, hours and breaks in your time zone. Manual check-ins and FOCUS work any time.
Can different computers have different schedules?
Yes. Make named schedules, like “Weekdays” and “Weekend”, and tick which computers follow each one. A computer follows one schedule at a time; new computers start on Default.
What does “Monitor all day” do?
On the days you pick, check-ins run all day instead of only in school hours. You choose whether your app and website rules apply all day too, or only check-ins.
Can it block entire websites?
It closes browser tabs and windows whose title matches a rule, during your schedule. It isn’t a network filter, so it can’t block a whole site in every app. Parts of Windows itself can’t be blocked.
What happens when I press FOCUS?
Within seconds, a full-screen reminder with your short note appears on your child’s computer, with an optional soft sound you choose. It stays until they click “I’m back.” You can send it from the dashboard or from Discord, at any time.
Windows says “Windows protected your PC”. Is it safe?
Windows shows this for new apps that aren’t yet widely known. Click More info, then Run anyway. Only download Send Focus from this website.
What if the computer is offline?
Check-ins are kept on the computer and sent when it’s back online, marked “sent late”.
Will I know if the app is turned off or removed?
Yes. If the app is closed with your PIN or uninstalled, or the computer goes offline during your schedule, you’ll see it in your dashboard’s activity and in the computer’s status (and in Discord, if you use it). You’ll also see when it comes back online, and how long it was off.
Can my child close or uninstall the app?
Quitting or uninstalling needs your parent PIN. If it’s closed another way, it comes back the next time Windows signs in. If it’s closed with your PIN, uninstalled, or goes quiet during your schedule, you’ll see it in your dashboard’s activity (and in Discord, if you use it). A Windows administrator account can still remove any app, so give your child a standard account.
How do I remove Send Focus from a computer?
Uninstall it from Windows Settings, using your parent PIN, and press Disconnect for that computer in your dashboard.
I replaced or reinstalled the computer. What now?
Press Disconnect for that computer in your dashboard. You get a new code to paste into Send Focus on the new or reinstalled computer.
Does it work on Mac, Chromebook, iPad or phones?
The app is Windows only for now. Your parent dashboard works in any browser, including on your phone.
Can I use every dashboard feature from my phone?
Yes. The full parent dashboard works in a mobile browser: check-ins, settings, schedules, FOCUS and new check-ins.
Does it slow the computer down?
No, you shouldn’t notice it. It’s a small background app that takes a picture every few minutes.
Who can see the check-ins, and how long are they kept?
Only you (and a parent you share the login with), and in your private Discord channel if you choose. Check-ins are deleted from Send Focus and from your Discord channel after 7 days, and you can delete them sooner. Discord’s own systems may keep copies for a while.
How do I delete my account and data?
In Settings, choose Delete my account. It removes your account, computers, check-ins, schedules and rules from Send Focus.
Can two parents use Send Focus?
Yes. Two parents share the same login, so you both see the same computers, check-ins and settings.
Do I need Discord?
No. Discord is optional. Everything works from the Send Focus dashboard.
Should I tell my child?
Yes. Be open about when monitoring happens and what is saved. The Send Focus icon shows by the clock while it runs. See “Our approach” above.
Does this prove my child is paying attention?
No. Send Focus shows computer activity and gives you tools to reduce distractions. It can’t know whether your child is truly paying attention.
Let's make school days easier
A little more independence.
A lot less reminding.
Help your child find their focus, with just enough support when they need it.
