Morphine is a unique website blocker designed to regulate distractions while giving you flexibility. Instead of restricting your access by fixed daily limits, Morphine provides a "balance" of minutes that slowly refills over time. You can spend this balance whenever you want on your blocked sites, allowing uninterrupted access as long as you have enough time available.

This innovative approach, called Regulated Distraction™®, avoids the frustration common in standard blockers where you might be locked out at key moments, like receiving a friend’s link at work. With Morphine, the wait to access blocked sites is minimal (typically under 10 minutes), offering smarter and more user-friendly control over your browsing habits.

Still functional despite lack of recent updates

Cons

Not updated or maintained for years, leading to occasional bugs or functionality issues
Randomly stops working and fails to block sites as intended
User interface and controls could be improved for easier management
Hard redirect causes loss of user input (e.g., lost comments) and resets page scroll position
Lacks features like scheduling blocking times or partial use of balance

Exactly what I needed. Slow withdrawal therapy, not cold turkey..

This is perfect and much better than the usual productivity blockers. Wish there was an app for my phone and apps

Excellent, wish I had found it sooner. Doesn't appear to be maintained (no updates for ~6 years), but still works perfectly fine.
