An in-development offline app and website blocker for Android and macOS, built around schedules, focus timers, and boundaries kept on-device.

For
People setting boundaries around distracting apps and websites
Worth noticing
The page says the Android app requests no internet permission; it also cautions that Strict mode adds friction, not a guarantee against bypassing.

Field notes

The page describes three modes: a brief pause before opening an app, scheduled blocking, and a stricter setting that adds friction. Example profiles show timers and recurring windows, but the page explicitly labels the screens illustrative and says Strict is not a guarantee against bypassing. It also distinguishes the Android app’s offline design from an invitation-only web demo that is online.
