This app is very simple, no overly fancy graphics, just a clean, straightforward system that gets the job done. Once I figured out how to set my scheduled time, I was genuinely impressed by how efficient and reliable it is. There’s no way to cheat or bypass the restrictions. Yu’re fully committed to the rules you set for yourself, which has made a huge difference in my productivity. My focus has improved dramatically, and my work output has skyrocketed, all without the usual distractions. Thank you for creating such a fantastic tool, great job!

Love this app and I've tried them all!

On Mac, I don't think there's another app that compares to this and I downloaded over half a dozen the last few days and tried them all. Most of the other apps either don't work right, require multiple extensions, etc. or something else. For $9.99/year, the value is very reasonable. I mainly use it to block all social media after 10pm and to block social media and emails from before I wake up in the morning until noon each day to ensure I get distraction-free work done. I like that there are ways to prevent me from unblocking, which honestly, sometimes I need.

Best app and website blocker!

Super effective and reliable. It helped me establish a sleep routine by blocking everything at night. It's really useful for blocking social media, WhatsApp, and Netflix when working from home. Thank you!

This app shows Apple how things should be done… much better than the onboard solutions Apple provides. You helped me regain my life. I can’t thank you guys enough for this app. Big up!

In today's world of constant feeds and notifications, when I want to just stop and focus on my writing I turn on my writing focus (blocks the whole web and only allows my writing apps) for 20 minutes which allows me to just write without distractions.

I use "block all websites" and "except these" then I can make a weekly work schedule block. And I can't delete the app while the block is running. Great app for productivity.

Amazing

Does exactly what I needed — a simple website blocker, uncomplicated UI, inexpensive. Glad I found it. It’s a gamechanger for my productivity since I get very easily distracted by social media.

Love it! It has all the features I need without any additional bloat. I don’t need weekly reports or anything like that. I just want an app that blocks apps and websites in a given time frame. This one does it. Amazing, thank you!
