The Best Blocker that I had ever seen. I use it to block some erotic sites and also some keywords.

by Aman, 2025-03-30

Sturdy blocker. By far the best doom scrolling antidote/productivity boosting tool I've tested across all platforms, including mobile devices. I just wish something as good as this was available for iOS, or at least there was a way to link my Windows laptop screen time with iOS screen time. Unfortunately, as the creator himself states, iOS is very restrictive, and it doesn't help that he works alone ("[...] I'm a one man show").
