Digital Detox Timer: A Python Script to Block Distracting Websites

I've built and shipped the Digital Detox Timer. It's a straightforward Python script intended to help you regain focus by blocking access to distracting websites for a predetermined period.

The goal is simple: reduce the constant pull of social media feeds, news sites, or any other digital rabbit holes that consume your time. By temporarily removing these temptations, the script encourages you to engage in more productive activities, like reading a book, working on a personal project, or simply taking a break without falling back into old habits.

This tool is for anyone who feels their screen time is excessive and wants a concrete way to enforce focus. It's a small step towards a more intentional relationship with your digital devices. If you're looking to scroll less and read more, this script provides a mechanism to help achieve that.
