I built a Mac app that blocks YouTube Home, Shorts, X For You, and Reddit front pages

I made Monk Mode, a macOS app for people who keep losing 5 minutes to “just checking” feeds.

It blocks the stuff that quietly eats your day:

  • YouTube Home
  • YouTube Shorts
  • X For You
  • Reddit front pages
  • other feed-style distraction pages

It stays out of the way until you need it, then gets strict when you try to open the rabbit hole.

I built it because I kept noticing that the real problem was not work, it was feeds. Once the feed is gone, getting back to work is a lot easier.

Monk Mode is a one-time $15 app for Mac.

If you care about attention, focus, or shipping more and doomscrolling less, I’d love feedback from people actually using a Mac for deep work.
