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

Anyone else lose an hour to YouTube Home, Shorts, Reddit front pages, or X For You and realize the problem is the feed itself?

I built Monk Mode for that.

It’s a Mac app that blocks the most distracting surfaces instead of trying to block the whole internet:

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

The point is simple: keep the useful parts of the web, remove the algorithmic traps.

It’s a $15 lifetime app and I’m shipping it for people who want fewer distractions and more actual work done.
