I kept using Cold Turkey, then wanted something free that I could tweak myself, so I built my own. You make blocklists of sites and apps, then start a timed session or set a weekly schedule. A few things I cared about: Path-level blocking, so you can block youtube.com/shorts but keep the rest of YouTube Allowlist mode: block everything except your work sites Locks: a timer lock, or a password lock where someone else sets the password Strict mode, so you can't quietly weaken a session halfway through Imports your Cold Turkey JSON export No account and no cloud. Everything stays on your computer Website blocking runs through a Chrome extension that talks to the desktop app. One heads-up for Mac users: it isn't notarized (I'd need a paid Apple developer account), so you have to run a one-line approval command in Terminal before it opens. The README explains exactly what that command does. https://github.com/aman9560/FocusBlocker Feedback welcome, especially if you've tried to get around a blocker before.   submitted by   /u/Longjumping_Ride8206 [link]   [comments]
