I built Monk Mode because I was tired of opening YouTube for one video and ending up in Shorts, or checking Reddit and losing an hour to the front page.
Monk Mode is a Mac app that blocks the feed surfaces that are designed to keep you scrolling:
- YouTube Home
- YouTube Shorts
- X For You
- Reddit front pages
- other distraction feeds
It is not a full internet blocker. It is a feed blocker. That’s the whole point.
If you use a Mac and want fewer accidental scroll sessions, it’s here: https://mac.monk-mode.lifestyle
It is $15 lifetime.
I’m posting this for the people who already know they need friction, not more willpower.
