I kept losing time to the same stuff over and over:
- YouTube Home
- Shorts
- X For You
- Reddit front pages
So I built Monk Mode, a Mac app that blocks the feed, not the whole site.
That matters because a lot of distraction tools go too broad. I still want YouTube for tutorials and Reddit for specific threads. I just do not want the infinite scroll traps.
Monk Mode blocks:
- YouTube Home
- YouTube Shorts
- X For You
- Reddit front pages
- other feed-style distractions
It is a one-time $15 lifetime app.
If you are trying to protect deep work on a Mac, this is for you:

I would genuinely love feedback from people who have tried to fix doomscrolling with blockers and still found the edges too blunt.
